Job Description

Job Summary: Generally responsible for supervision and technical direction over a team of engineers and designers when functioning as a lead engineer. As lead engineer, responsibilities include total delivery of the civil/structural deliverables and services on time, within the performance budget, and meeting quality expectations. Duties may include performing advanced engineering work and serving as a technical specialist for complex engineering assignments. Work at this level requires extensive progressive experience in civil/structural engineering and involves the utilization of project controls for cost, schedule, and quality of projects. This work will be performed under minimal supervision. 

Primary responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

• Reviewing and approving all civil/structural deliverables.
• Validating professional service and construction estimates at the beginning of a project, and then tracking changes as the project progresses.

• Consult with design leaders from other disciplines in proportion to their technical skills and experience, then follow up for support to ensure efficient progress and quality.
• Producing estimate-level preliminary designs and material take-off suitable for the level of estimate being performed on a project.
• Developing conceptual layouts and cost studies as necessary to determine the simplest, most efficient approach to solving engineering tasks at hand.
• Familiarity with and utilizing department design and drafting standards.
• Producing detailed design calculations and sketches for materials of construction associated with the project. Calculations produced will be neatly prepared and organized for efficient checking by others and efficient use by drafters/designers for preparing drawings and as a deliverable when required.
• Producing project designs with efficient use of construction materials with an overall emphasis on ease of construction and completed products meeting the expectations of the client.
• Checking calculations made by other engineers to ensure accuracy, conformance to codes, specifications, design criteria, and conformance to good engineering practice.
• Producing construction specifications.
• Monitoring drawings in progress to ensure conformance to design calculations and specifications.
• Assisting the drafting group in resolving routine layout and detailing problems. Ensuring that sufficient sketches and details are provided for the completion of engineering drawings.
• Reviewing and checking vendor drawings and other discipline drawings for civil/structural input.
