The Town of Timnath is seeking a versatile and experienced Civil Engineer II to help plan, review, and deliver the infrastructure supporting a growing Northern Colorado community.
As part of Timnath’s Public Works team, you’ll have the opportunity to work across a broad range of projects, from streets, sidewalks, multimodal connections, and traffic systems to stormwater, development infrastructure, utilities, and capital improvements.
Reporting to the Town Engineer, you’ll take ownership of assigned projects, technical reviews, consultants, contractors, permits, studies, and field issues from planning and scoping through construction and closeout. Transportation experience is preferred, but engineers with strong public infrastructure, capital-project, development-review, or construction experience are encouraged to apply.
Why Timnath?
Timnath offers the technical variety and project ownership of a growing community without the layers of a large organization. You’ll work directly with Town leadership, consultants, contractors, developers, and operations staff to solve problems, make decisions, and see your engineering work take shape in the community.
With significant investments underway in transportation, safety, connectivity, and long-term infrastructure, this is an opportunity to work on meaningful projects, apply your expertise across disciplines, and make a visible impact on a community’s future.
What You Will Do
- Independently manage municipal capital projects and Public Works programs from planning and scoping through design, permitting, construction, acceptance, and closeout.
- Prepare, review, and oversee engineering plans, specifications, calculations, cost estimates, technical reports, studies, permits, and construction documents. Sign and seal engineering documents when required and within your area of competence and delegated authority.
- Review development plans, subdivision plats, construction plans, drainage reports, traffic-impact studies, utility plans, grading plans, right-of-way permits, traffic-control plans, and other technical submittals.
- Conduct complex plan checks and engineering analyses, evaluate design alternatives, identify conflicts, and develop practical recommendations consistent with Town standards, adopted plans, codes, permits, and regulations.
- Manage and coordinate consultants, contractors, developers, utility providers, districts, inspectors, and internal departments. Review scopes of work, proposals, submittals, RFIs, pay applications, change orders, schedules, budgets, and field issues.
- Coordinate utility infrastructure, conflicts, crossings, relocations, easements, right-of-way needs, construction impacts, and service-provider requirements for Town and development projects.
- Perform or oversee construction observation, site inspections, public-improvement acceptance, warranty inspections, punch lists, documentation, and corrective work.
- Provide engineering and technical support for transportation and traffic programs, including signals, signs, pavement markings, streetlighting, traffic assets, replacement priorities, system reliability, work-zone traffic control, and MUTCD compliance.
- Support capital-improvement planning, annual budgeting, asset management, infrastructure inventories, standards updates, maintenance planning, procurement, and professional-services administration.
- Prepare clear staff reports, technical memoranda, presentations, maps, exhibits, project updates, budget information, and recommendations for Town leadership, boards, commissions, Town Council, residents, and other stakeholders.
- Represent the Town in meetings with applicants, residents, developers, contractors, consultants, utility providers, agencies, and regional partners. Investigate concerns and communicate technically sound, timely, and practical solutions.
- Provide technical guidance to inspectors, less-experienced engineers, interns, consultants, contractors, and other team members as assigned.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a closely related engineering field from an accredited college or university
- At least five years of progressively responsible experience in civil engineering, municipal engineering, public infrastructure, capital-project delivery, construction management, development review, transportation, stormwater, utilities, or a related Public Works field
- Experience independently managing projects, programs, technical reviews, consultants, construction administration, or comparable professional engineering assignments
- Current Professional Engineer licensure in Colorado, or active PE licensure in another U.S. jurisdiction with the ability to obtain Colorado licensure within six months of employment
- Strong project-management skills, including scope, schedule, budget, consultant and contractor coordination, documentation, problem resolution, and project closeout
- Ability to interpret and apply engineering standards, adopted plans, codes, ordinances, permits, contracts, policies, and federal, state, and local requirements
- Ability to communicate clearly with technical and nontechnical audiences and work constructively with residents, applicants, elected officials, consultants, contractors, and agency partners
- Valid Colorado driver’s license, or the ability to obtain one by the date of hire, with a satisfactory driving record
- Must past post offer background screening
Preferred Experience
Experience in one or more of the following areas is preferred but not required:
- Municipal transportation or traffic engineering
- Roadway or multimodal capital-project delivery
- Pavement management and street-preservation programs
- Transportation planning or traffic-safety studies
- Traffic-impact-study review
- Traffic signals, signs, pavement markings, or streetlighting
- Municipal development review
- Public Works construction and contract administration
Who Will Thrive in This Role
The successful candidate will be a practical, well-rounded engineer who takes ownership of assignments and is comfortable moving between technical analysis, project management, construction coordination, public communication, and field problem-solving. You should enjoy working in an environment where priorities are varied, collaboration is essential, and your professional judgment has a visible effect on projects and community outcomes. The ideal candidate knows when to independently resolve an issue, when to engage project partners, and when to elevate a significant technical, financial, regulatory, or community concern.
Bring your technical expertise, project leadership, and public-service mindset to a community where your work will be visible, valued, and built into Timnath’s future.
