About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Help navigate the permitting maze, preparing applications for local, state, and federal agencies (yes, it's a lot of acronyms — you'll get the hang of it)
Prepare engineering calculations, feasibility studies, and technical reports that actually inform design decisions
Collaborate with project managers, surveyors, and other engineering disciplines to deliver coordinated solutions
Support stormwater management and drainage design (prior software experience a plus, not a requirement)
Get out of the office for site visits and field inspections to see your designs come to life — and troubleshoot when they don't quite go as planned
