Civil Engineer/Civil Designer
This position is for a hands-on experienced civil designer with advanced AutoCAD experience. Candidates should be proficient in civil planning using AutoCAD Civil 3D. Projects include a diversity of civil design, retaining wall design, slope stability analysis, wetland mapping, hydrologic and hydraulic models, and stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for residential or commercial site development, solar site development, roadway failures, and other related projects. This position requires in the field site conditions observation, installation inspection and verification, and occasional overnight travel.
Key Responsibilities:
- Coordinate with project managers, designers, and other team members in project planning, design analysis, and plan set production.
- Conduct a linear design for site development. Prepare grading and surface modeling in AutoCAD Civil 3D using corridor modeling and automated surface modeling grading techniques.
- Assist client with permitting, bidding, construction, and as‐built phases of projects.
- Prepare technical reports and exhibits to support planning, permitting and design phases of projects.
- Perform QA/QC construction materials field testing based on experience or with training. This is a key component of the job.
