What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering
  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration
  • 8+ years of water and/or wastewater process engineering experience
  • Strong facility planning and design experience
  • Project management capabilities
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills
  • A desire to mentor others and contribute to the growth of the practice

What We Offer

Our staff members enjoy a comprehensive compensation package that includes:
