Our employees are the heart of our company. As an employer of choice, our goal is to provide a challenging, progressive and inclusive work environment which fosters personal leadership, career growth and development for every employee. We value passionate individuals who challenge the norm, deliver world-class solutions and bring diverse perspectives. Join our team, and together we will make a difference and change the world.
We are seeking an experienced Civil Engineer to support the civil site design and utility conveyance system planning, design, and delivery for large-scale municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. This role requires technical expertise, the ability to coordinate effectively with other disciplines, and strong communication and teamwork with staff in our local and regional offices. The ideal candidate brings extensive experience in complex public infrastructure projects, including treatment facilities, pump stations, transmission mains, storage facilities, and integrated water systems.
This role focuses on developing design solutions for site development, grading, and linear utility systems. Responsibilities include technical analysis, preparation of construction documents, and coordination with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality, compliant designs.
Key Responsibilities:
• With high-level goals provided, create and sign off on basic to highly complex engineering designs involving site layout development, site grading and drainage, roadway, utility improvements, hydraulics and hydrology calculations, water distribution systems, collection systems, storage tanks and impoundments, foundation designs, stormwater infrastructure and treatment, and occasionally single-story structures.
• Perform engineering analyses and calculations related to pipeline hydraulics, system capacity, and site drainage.
• Prepare and review construction documentation, including civil plans, utility layouts, profiles, specifications, cost estimates, bid packages, and as-built drawings.
• Design and support implementation of stormwater conveyance systems, including pipe networks and open channel drainage systems.
• Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams (survey, geotechnical, structural, environmental) to integrate site and utility designs into overall project delivery.
• Support utility master planning and feasibility studies, focusing on alignment, sizing, and expansion of pipeline networks.
• Perform plan checks and design reviews to ensure quality, accuracy, constructability, and compliance with applicable codes and standards.
• Conduct hydraulic and hydrologic modeling using tools such as H2ONet, Hydra, and WSPG to support pipeline and stormwater system design.
• Assist with permitting, site assessments, and constructability reviews for civil and utility infrastructure projects.
• Contribute to cost estimating, value engineering, and optimization of pipeline and site development designs.
• Promote continuous improvement through application of engineering best practices in civil and utility design.
In addition, you will would have an opportunity to represent CDM Smith at conferences and provide technical support on business development opportunities. You'll learn every day from our highly-skilled technical staff and project managers, participate in our mentoring program, and drive your professional development and gain skills through our Leadership Academy and extensive trainings available within the CDM Smith University. This position is perfect for you if you are looking to elevate your career and take on increasingly challenging work. We will provide the encouragement and support so you can become a strong leader within our industry.
