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.

Successful candidates will need to complete pre-employment onboarding, which may include a background check, drug screen and motor vehicle records search.

Essential skills and knowledge 

Candidate's Profile

  • 11+ years of civil design or engineering technician experience
  • Associate degree in Drafting or an Engineering Design related technology (Bachelor's preferred)
  • Advanced Autodesk Civil 3D skills, particularly grading, drainage and utility design
  • Experience with Bentley MicroStation and/or OpenPlant Modeler is a strong plus
  • Background in site development for power generation, utility or industrial projects
  • Experience leading or supervising other technicians and reviewing their work
  • Comfortable performing design calculations and quantity takeoffs
  • Strong understanding of codes, standards and drawing control
  • Clear communicator who can present to teams and run training
  • Must live within 50 miles of Overland Park KS, Ann Arbor MI, Houston TX or Cary NC
