Civil Project Engineer - Waste & Recycling

Job Description

Job Description

The Project Manager / Civil Engineer will work with other engineers and CAD technicians on various civil, solid waste, and environmental related projects in our Birmingham, AL 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

• 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
• Prepare preliminary engineering reports
• Perform and review detailed calculations: stormwater management, leachate generation and pipe sizing, slope stability, and compaction density
• Produce effective and high-quality project documents (including reports, drawings, and specifications)
• Assist clients with construction procurement
• Provide bidding and construction administration services
• Manage project budgets and schedules

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil and/or Environmental Engineering
• 5-8 years experience
• Registered as a Professional Engineer preferred or E.I.T. on track to become PE
• Project management experience
• Minimum 4 years of civil engineering experience, including solid waste, land development, or closely related projects
• Effective communication skills using oral, graphic, and written forms
• Ability to relate well to project team, clients, regulators, and contractors
• Ability to perform assigned tasks with minimal supervision
• Ability to travel to project sites and work remotely as needed
• Ability to manage workload and budgets as allocated
• Knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil3D
• Team player who is enthusiastic about all aspects of engineering and project management and can lead projects from planning and preliminary engineering through design and construction

Physical Requirements:

• Stand/Sit for extended periods of time.
• Use a computer and keyboard.
