Job description

Are you seeking a career where you can foster a positive working environment and enhance employee relations? Do you possess flexibility, proactivity, approachability, a knack for problem-solving, and a good sense of humor? If so, you've found the right place!
Wood Rodgers, a leading engineering consulting firm, is hiring an assistant civil engineer to join our Land Development Department. We seek individuals with E.I.T certification or those eligible to obtain within 6 months. In this role, you will prepare engineering studies for grading, sanitary sewer, drainage and water systems, preparation of construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates (PS&E) for infrastructure improvements including roads, sewer and water systems, grading, and drainage facilities for a variety of private and public projects.  Project assignments may include entitlement/tentative maps and subdivisions and site developments, infrastructure planning, roadway, and utility Capital Improvement Programs.  Duties require ability to perform engineering analyses and prepare related reports such as hydraulic analyses, alternatives analyses and development of designs using Computer Aided Design (AutoCAD) applications. 
This is a staffed, hourly, non-exempt position.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure project objectives are met efficiently and effectively.
  • Preparation of engineering analysis, designs, and calculations for roadway systems and other transportation related structures, including calculations and cost estimating.
  • Assist with layout and drawings with other design team members.
  • Prepare technical reports such as hydraulic analyses, alternative analyses, and other project documentation as required.
  • A bachelor's degree in civil engineering is required.
  • 0 to 3 years of relevant experience, with a solid understanding of civil engineering principles, practices, and methods.  
  • E.I.T certification or ability to obtain it within 6 months is required.
  • Proficiency in using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Strong analytical skills are required to gather, organize, and analyze engineering data.
  • Effective teamwork and strong communication skills
A note on hourly pay ranges
 
The range does not reflect geographic variations and may fluctuate above or below the stated amount. Offers will be based on several factors, including experience, education, skills, licensure, certifications, training, and location. Base pay is just one part of the comprehensive compensation package offered by Wood Rodgers. If you feel you meet the requirements but may be outside of the pay range, please apply anyway and let's talk through it. 
Joining Wood Rodgers comes with perks to support you in your personal and professional journey:
  • A Unique Culture: We're an engineering firm that feels refreshingly different. As inventors who ask, "why not?", our leadership empowers employees to grow, challenge conventions, and develop creative solutions. We host grand parties, offer surprise days off, and consistently reinvest in our employees rather than focusing solely on corporate profits. While these perks contribute to our vibrant culture, it's the remarkable people at the heart of it all - individuals who are passionate about learning, teaching, helping, and collaborating.
  • Teamwork: Experience what it means to be part of the Wood Rodgers family. Be inspired by your leaders, supported and encouraged by your teammates to live a full and exciting life, and receive holistic support in your work and personal endeavors.

  • Learning + Development: Engage in leadership development programs and goal setting to unlock new possibilities for your career and life. Grow within the company through mentorship and achieve your potential as a leader from the moment you're hired.
