Introduction
What are you going to do
We're partnering with a top global engineering and construction firm to find a Senior Civil Engineering Technician for their Power Providers sector. You'll join the Virtual Design & Data Solutions (VDDS) group, leading a design team that delivers site development packages for Advanced Power Generation (APG) projects. It's critical infrastructure work on large, complex power plant sites, and it starts as a contract with a clear path to a permanent role.
This is a senior position in every sense. You'll set the design and graphic standards, review other technicians' work and be the person the team turns to when a design problem gets tricky.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading design teams producing site development plans covering grading and drainage, erosion control, roadways, fencing and underground utilities
- Creating and modifying designs in Autodesk Civil 3D, Bentley MicroStation and Bentley OpenPlant Modeler
- Establishing design and graphic standards and making sure deliverables meet applicable codes
- Reviewing design inputs and deliverables from others for quality, accuracy and consistency
- Performing design calculations, material quantity takeoffs and estimates
- Managing drawing control and project records
- Coordinating with other design disciplines to keep designs aligned
- Monitoring production against budget and schedule
- Training and mentoring other engineering technicians, including running training sessions in your area of expertise
- Contributing to process improvement and updates to design guides
- Supporting field activities when needed
Why this role:
- Contract to perm with a globally recognized engineering firm
- Leadership responsibility without leaving the technical work behind
- Power generation projects that are a step up in scale and complexity from typical land development work
- Four office locations to choose from
Location: Candidates must live within 50 miles of one of the following offices: Overland Park KS, Ann Arbor MI, Houston TX or Cary NC.
