  • Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and related design tools.
  • Experience with construction observation, field data collection, and field engineering.
  • Willingness to travel seasonally for field work and construction projects for up to 2 weeks at a time.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work across disciplines and with diverse stakeholders.

Bonus experience includes:
