Subsurface Utility Engineer Jobs in Houston, TX (NOW HIRING)

Civil Engineer (Drainage)

Company Name: Amani Engineering
Location: Houston, TX (On-Site)
Project Focus: Municipal Infrastructure (Drainage)
Work Setting: Integrated Engineering & Surveying Studio
Salary: $70,000 – $95,000 + Benefits + PTO
Recruited Exclusively By: Luxus | AEC Talent Partners

Position Overview

This is not a “sit behind Civil 3D and redline plans” kind of role. This is where early-career engineers level up—fast. You'll step into real ownership of municipal infrastructure projects, getting hands-on with everything from hydraulic modeling to construction coordination. If you're ready to stop being the extra set of hands and start being the person people rely on, this is your lane.

What sets this opportunity apart is exposure—real, cross-functional exposure. Instead of being boxed into one discipline, you'll work alongside in-house survey crews and SUE teams, gaining a full-picture understanding of how projects actually come together in the field. It's the kind of environment that accelerates your path to PE licensure and builds the foundation to lead projects, not just contribute to them.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead the design and analysis of water distribution, wastewater collection, roadway paving, and stormwater drainage systems for municipal infrastructure projects
• Perform hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, preparing detailed engineering reports and technical calculations
• Develop plan and profile drawings and full construction document sets using Civil 3D and MicroStation
• Support traffic signal design and analysis, including signal pole relocation and utility conflict coordination
• Collaborate directly with survey crews to interpret topographic data and support SUE and construction observation efforts
• Ensure all deliverables meet DOT standards and local municipal requirements (City of Houston, Sugar Land, Pearland, etc.)
• Manage assigned design tasks with a focus on accuracy, quality control, and on-time delivery
• Contribute to a collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment where engineering and field execution align

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering
• Experience: 5+ years of civil engineering design experience, focused on municipal or infrastructure projects
• Licensure: PE licensure in Texas
• Software: Proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D
• Technical Foundation: Working knowledge of water, wastewater, roadway, and drainage design principles
• Communication: Strong analytical thinking and ability to work within a team-driven environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency in MicroStation
• Exposure to traffic signal design or transportation engineering
• Experience with Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) coordination
• Familiarity with local standards in Harris, Fort Bend, or Brazoria County
