Principle Civil Design Engineer

Job Description

In this senior role, you will be responsible for overseeing the design and development of complex civil engineering solutions for wastewater treatment plants and associated infrastructure. You will lead the design of site layouts, drainage systems, structural components, and other civil works, ensuring compliance with project requirements, industry standards, and environmental regulations. As a key technical leader, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless integration of civil designs with mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems.

You will manage the preparation of design calculations, specifications, and reports, and provide guidance on cost estimation, material selection, and project planning. Additionally, you will oversee and mentor junior engineers, manage design reviews, and ensure high-quality delivery on time and within budget. Regular site visits will be required to support construction activities, resolve issues, and ensure the successful implementation of civil designs, contributing to the safe, reliable, and sustainable delivery of wastewater treatment solutions.

In joining the newly established Design Hub will give you the chance to contribute significantly to shaping a world-class design team, particularly in the water industry. This is a pivotal role, and your contributions could leave a lasting impact on AFECO and the industry at large, especially in a sector as vital and evolving as water management. If you're excited by the prospect of building something from the ground up and shaping the future of water design, this opportunity seems like a perfect fit!
