• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D for civil design production
• Ability to work onsite and independently produce engineering drawings
• Experience with construction documents for public infrastructure projects

Preferred Experience

• PE license (Texas PE strongly preferred)
• Experience transitioning from design engineering into project or construction management
• Field or construction experience on municipal utility projects (inspection, support, or site engineering)
• Background in civil/site development with significant water/wastewater exposure
• Experience working in consulting engineering or municipal utility environments

Technical Skills

• AutoCAD (Intermediate – Daily production use)
• Civil 3D (Intermediate – Civil modeling, grading, pipe networks, plan production)
• Municipal water/wastewater systems design
• Construction documentation and engineering deliverables

Additional Information

This is a long-term opportunity with a well-established engineering organization with a 55-year history and a strong municipal infrastructure portfolio.
