Current projects include water distribution systems, wells, elevated storage facilities, treatment plants, and related municipal utility infrastructure.

Depending on your background and strengths, the role may lean more heavily toward technical design leadership, project management, client relationships, or a combination of these areas.

• Hands-on experience with TCEQ permitting, submittals, regulatory requirements, and plan-review responses.
• Experience involving water distribution systems, wells, storage facilities, treatment plants, or related utility infrastructure.
• Demonstrated project-management experience covering engineering design, permitting, bidding, client coordination, construction support, and project delivery.
• Working proficiency with AutoCAD or comparable civil engineering design and drafting software.
