What Your Day Will Look Like:

As a District Engineer, you will serve as a key leader responsible for the planning, design, execution, and successful delivery of municipal capital improvement projects that support critical public infrastructure.

Working closely with contractors, consultants, regulatory agencies, and internal stakeholders, you will help ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.

 

You will play an instrumental role in maintaining project quality, budget performance, and schedule adherence throughout the construction lifecycle. Through the effective management of submittal tracking logs, permitting documentation, daily labor utilization reports, material delivery records, and controlled inspection logs, you will monitor project progress, identify potential risks, and drive timely resolution of issues.

• Review, approve, record, and maintain easement and right-of-way documentation submitted by external stakeholders, developers, consultants, and property owners to ensure legal compliance and protection of district assets.
• Prepare and administer detailed technical specifications, bid packages, contract documents, requests for proposals, and program management documentation to support procurement, contractor selection, and successful project delivery.
• Analyze survey reports, topographic data, maps, engineering drawings, and construction blueprints to evaluate project feasibility, identify design conflicts, and develop effective engineering solutions for complex infrastructure challenges.
• Collaborate with contractors, consultants, utility providers, and internal stakeholders to resolve technical design issues, review construction submittals, evaluate change orders, and ensure timely completion of project milestones.
• Monitor project performance through analysis of schedules, budgets, material deliveries, inspection records, and construction progress reports, proactively identifying risks and implementing corrective actions to maintain project quality, cost control, and schedule adherence.

 

 

What You'll Need:
