Primary Function

The Civil Engineer IV serves as a senior technical contributor and task-level project lead for municipal waterline and sanitary sewer infrastructure projects. This role independently delivers design assignments and manages smaller projects or defined project components with minimal supervision, applying advanced knowledge of civil engineering principles related to pipeline planning, design, and construction.

Our Water/Wastewater team in Oklahoma is an integral part of the design process for municipal infrastructure projects. The position requires the ability to make independent technical decisions, coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, and ensure designs are constructible, compliant, and aligned with client standards.

• Waterlines and transmission mains

• Develop project design criteria, technical approaches, and design alternatives for pipeline projects
• Prepare and review plans, specifications, cost estimates, and technical memoranda
• Coordinate utility layouts, easements, right-of-way constraints, and permitting requirements
• Analyze complex design and constructability challenges related to trenching, phasing, maintenance of service, and existing utilities
• Serve as task lead or small-project lead, managing scope, schedule, and budget for assigned projects or work packages
• Coordinate with project managers, clients, surveyors, subconsultants, and regulatory agencies
• Support construction-phase services, including:
• Responding to RFIs
• Reviewing shop drawings and submittals
• Assisting with change evaluations and pay applications
• Ensure designs comply with state and local regulatory requirements, municipal standards, and industry best practices
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and CADD designers
• Participate in client meetings and represent assigned projects as a technical point of contact

Education and Experience Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Environmental, or related Engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited program
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required (Oklahoma or ability to obtain by reciprocity)
• 5–8 years of progressive civil engineering experience, with a strong emphasis on pipeline and conveyance projects, including:
• Water distribution systems and transmission mains
• Sanitary sewer collection systems
• Force mains and related appurtenances
• Demonstrated experience leading pipeline projects or major design tasks, including coordination of scope, schedule, and technical deliverables
• Experience working directly with municipal clients and internal project managers
• Working knowledge of pipeline-related permitting and regulatory requirements applicable to municipal infrastructure in Oklahoma
• Proficiency with engineering design software and tools used for pipeline design and hydraulic analysis
