Job Description

Job Description
Overview

As a Project Engineer, you’ll design infrastructure that communities rely on every day, including clean water, resilient wastewater systems, and sustainable stormwater solutions. You’ll work on meaningful public and municipal projects from concept through construction, gaining hands-on experience while being mentored. This role is ideal for an engineer who wants technical depth, real responsibility, and a clear path for growth.

Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare design drawings, specifications, calculations, permitting documents, and construction exhibits

  • Perform independent engineering calculations, product research, and technical evaluations

  • Collaborate with Project Managers to identify and resolve design challenges creatively and efficiently

  • Support construction administration through RFIs, submittal reviews, site visits, and field reports

  • Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to ensure seamless project delivery

  • Contribute to quality assurance by reviewing drawings, calculations, and documentation for accuracy and compliance

  • Mentor and support junior engineers and technicians through hands-on guidance and knowledge sharing

  • Serve as technical representative of firm at all required project meetings, presentations, and public hearings

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering or a related field

  • Ohio Professional Engineer (PE) license, or ability to obtain within six months of hire

  • 4+ years of utility infrastructure experience (graduate school may count toward experience)

  • Experience with water, wastewater, stormwater, green infrastructure, and municipal or public utility projects

  • Strong understanding of regulatory requirements and engineering standards.

  • Active involvement or interest in professional organizations (WEF, AWWA, ASCE, etc.)

  • Design and deliver water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects, including distribution systems, pumping stations, treatment facilities, green infrastructure, and utility relocations

  • Travel: Occasional day trips to project sites and client meetings

  • Field Work: Occasional site assessment, field measurements, construction observation

Why You’ll Love This Role
  • Purpose-driven work: Design infrastructure that directly improves public health, sustainability, and quality of life

  • Growth and mentorship: Learn from senior engineers while building leadership and technical expertise

  • Ownership and impact: Take real responsibility for projects, not just pieces of them

  • Collaborative culture: Work with cross-functional teams that value communication and shared success

  • Variety and challenge: No two projects are the same, keeping your work engaging and meaningful

  • Career momentum: Clear opportunities to advance technically and professionally

Compensation Range: $70K - $120K
