Work directly with public agencies and utility districts to understand needs, build trust, and deliver successful outcomes..
Manage and review work prepared in AutoCAD Civil 3D, SewerCAD, and related software.
Support business development through client relationships and proposals (as your experience allows).


Who You Are

Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Oregon or Washington (or able to obtain within 6 months).
10+ years of experience designing wastewater infrastructure for public or private clients.
Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D and wastewater modeling software (e.g., SewerCAD).
Excellent communicator and collaborator who enjoys working with multidisciplinary teams.
Self-motivated with strong organizational and time-management skills.
Committed to mentoring others and developing talent from within.

Ability to confidently present to clients, councils, and community groups.
