We are seeking a licensed Senior Civil Engineer specializing in municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. In this role, you will lead complex utility projects from preliminary planning through construction administration.

A primary responsibility of this position includes guiding municipal clients through the capital funding landscape—helping draft preliminary engineering reports (PERs), securing state and federal grants/loans (e.g., SRF, USDA, CDBG), and maintaining long-term relationships with local government agencies.

Hydraulic Modeling: Perform and review hydraulic, hydrologic, and pipe network modeling for water and sewer networks.
Quality Control: Oversee the development of construction plans, technical specifications, engineer’s cost estimates, and contract documents (QA/QC).

Infrastructure Funding & Capital Planning

Grant & Loan Administration: Identify, write, and submit funding applications for municipal projects via key programs, including:
- Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) & Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)
- USDA Rural Development Water & Waste Disposal Loans/Grants
- Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)

Planning Studies: Prepare Preliminary Engineering Reports (PERs), Master Plans, Facilities Plans, and Environmental Information Documents (EIDs) required for funding eligibility.
Funding Agency Coordination: Serve as the main liaison between municipal clients, state funding and review agency personnel, and federal funding administrators to shepherd projects through approval cycles.

Client Management & Mentorship

Client Engagement: Attend city council, public utility board, and regulatory agency meetings to present project updates, funding strategies, and engineering plans.
Team Leadership: Supervise, mentor, and review the work of junior engineers, designers, and CAD technicians.
Construction Services: Provide senior oversight during construction, including reviewing submittals, processing change orders, and resolving field issues.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related field from ABET accredited program.
Experience with designing systems for collecting, treating, and disposing of wastewater.
Technical background and experience with design and function of wastewater treatment facilities and products.
Experience with AutoCAD or other related software.
