Civil Engineer

The role of a civil engineer is to work on smaller projects, and/or as a team member of a larger project under the guidance and supervision of a senior engineer/designer.

You should be able to evaluate, select, specify, and engineer systems or products for a project.

You will perform a variety of tasks which may include calculations, and field work.

The smaller projects that a civil engineer may be assigned to will have relatively few complex features.

A civil engineer will assist more senior engineers/designers by performing the routine aspects of civil engineering assignments.

May assist in the analysis of proposed projects.

• Supports project team in development of design documentation, plans and reports for relevant project design elements.
• Assists in the development of a design through sketches, electronic models, diagrams, and other visual formats.
• Utilizes technologies in development of three-dimensional models of civil systems.
• Prepares and revises documentation in various project phases.
• Coordinates with other disciplines to ensure compatibility with the design intent.
• Assists in the review of shop drawings and submittals, responds to request for information, prepares site observation reports, and performs other contract administration tasks.
• Assists with the development of job specific discipline specifications.
• Assists in the evaluation and selection of civil systems and materials.
• Attends project coordination meetings with internal team members and/or external consultants.
• Participates in value engineering and cost estimating.
• Implements sustainable design principles.
• Performs calculations to analyze and design civil system components using company standard software and proprietary manufacturer software.
• Recreational improvements – multi-use trails, campgrounds, day-use areas, boat launches/ramps
• Restoration – water quality, stream/riverine restoration
• General Civil Engineering – stormwater improvements, general development
• Transportation – Hydrologic, Hydraulic and Drainage design portions of larger projects
• Hydroelectric relicensing – studies and engineering assessments to support Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licensing

Within the environmental services division of Stantec in the western US we work on a variety of projects throughout the region.

The projects are engaging, satisfying, and typically are for betterment of the general public throughout the region.

Projects are typically in remote settings of the Sierra Nevada, though some projects are in larger metropolitan areas.

Example projects you may be engaged in, include the following types of projects:
