Project Engineer - Solid Waste Engineer

The Project Engineer / Solid Waste Engineer will work with other engineers and CAD technicians on various civil, solid waste, and environmental related projects in our Richmond, VA office. The projects are challenging and provide unique design opportunities. You will be responsible for designing solid waste facilities that will enable LaBella to create sustainable, cost-effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients. The projects are intricate and incorporate both civil and environmental engineering skills, including land development (grading and stormwater management); leachate collection, treatment, and management; renewable energy designs; and organic waste management. Brand new, already operational, and closed solid waste facilities face many different types of challenges – there is never a dull moment, nor is there a cookie-cutter solution that fits every similar situation.

Duties :

• Projects will include solid-waste related site development projects : develop master plans, design drawings, design of stormwater management and erosion control systems, technical specifications, and cost estimate
• Prepare various types of related reports and studies to secure permitting for projects
• Draft work for scoping / conceptual work / engineering packages
• Assist with oversight and guidance of projects from initial concept through construction
• Assist in the preparation of project proposals
• Collaborate, mentor, and lead as appropriate
