About the position

Parsons is seeking an experienced Senior Civil Design Engineer specializing in Water and Wastewater Infrastructure to join our Pasadena office and contribute to our Los Angeles team. This role focuses primarily on civil design projects related to water and wastewater infrastructure, including pipelines, pump stations, and wastewater treatment plants. As a civil design discipline engineer, you will collaborate with a talented team to perform civil engineering design work across various infrastructure engineering fields. Your responsibilities will include preparing deliverables such as studies, drawings, and specifications for both conventional design and design/build projects. This position offers a full-time hybrid work schedule, requiring 2 to 3 days a week at our Pasadena, CA office. In this role, you will be responsible for performing civil design on projects, which encompasses the design of site infrastructures, excavation and backfill, grading, drainage, erosion and sediment controls, paving, underground pipelines and utilities, and stormwater pollution prevention plans, utilizing 3D software. You will produce construction documents, including detailed drawings and specifications, and conduct engineering computations for various aspects of site infrastructure, including grading, drainage, and material quantity takeoffs. Your work will involve preparing engineering drawings and completing a variety of assignments suitable for procurement and construction purposes. You will frequently interface with other engineering disciplines and departments, review supplier drawing submittals, and perform technical bid analyses. Additionally, you will provide technical guidance to CAD Designers, Drafters, and lower-level Engineers working on the same project, and you will be responsible for providing the seal and signature of the professional engineer when required by statute or contract.

Responsibilities

• Perform civil design on projects, including design of site infrastructures, excavation and backfill, grading, drainage, erosion and sediment controls, paving, underground pipelines and utilities, and stormwater pollution prevention plans, using 3D software.
• Produce construction documents, including drawings and specifications.
• Perform engineering computations for grading, underground pipelines, site infrastructure, stormwater roundoffs, pavement and drainage, material quantity takeoffs, estimates, surveys, and designs.
• Prepare engineering drawings and complete a variety of assignments such as drawings, specifications, and other materials suitable for procurement and construction purposes.
• Frequently interface with other Engineering disciplines as well as other departments.
• Review supplier drawing submittals and perform technical bid analyses.
• Prepare specifications, data sheets, and other construction documents.
• Provide technical guidance to CAD Designer/Drafters, Designers, and lower-level Engineers working on the same project.
• Provide the seal and signature of the professional engineer when required by statute or contract.

Requirements

• B.S. degree in Civil Engineering.
• EIT Certified OR P.E Licensed Civil Engineer Preferred.
• Minimum 5+ years of applicable experience in site layout, grading, drainage, and underground pipeline and utility design for waste and wastewater infrastructure projects.
• Strong experience in civil engineering infrastructure or land development design for site work, such as grading, paving, drainage, and utilities, including drawings and specifications on public works projects as deliverables for construction of pipelines, pumping stations, and wastewater treatment plants.
• Experience in preparing selected civil engineering specifications, including sitework, earthwork, pavement, and pipeline utilities.
• Experience in designing water and/or wastewater treatment facilities, wastewater collection systems, water transmission/distribution, pipeline rehabilitation, and pump stations is highly preferred.
• Experience in preparing CAD drawings in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or MicroStation are mandatory.
• Working knowledge of REVID is desirable.
• Working knowledge and experience in hydraulics (drainage, open channel, and pressure flow) and preparation of calculations.
• Working knowledge and experience in stormwater hydrology and preparation of calculations.

Nice-to-haves

• Ability to prepare pipeline calculations such as steel, ductile iron, HDPE, PVC, and concrete pipes per AWWA manuals of practice.
• Ability to prepare earthwork take-offs.
• Knowledge in designing to applicable codes.
• Understanding and applying civil discipline's design standards and practices.
• Proficient in the use of specialty software used by the Civil discipline without supervision.
• Strong in verbal and written technical communications.
• Understanding survey files, with the ability to understand/generate Digital Terrain Models (DTM).
• Experienced in developing scaled civil site plans (grading, paving, drainage, and underground pipelines) from various media (hand sketches, PDFs, CAD drawings).
• Ability to establish alignments to generate plan and profile drawings of underground pipelines (both site and linear infrastructure projects).
• Ability to calculate earthwork quantities/generate reports, with an understanding of slope grades.
• Experienced in coordination of modeling and drawing production activities between all disciplines at the project level.
• Experienced in performing quality checking of deliverables conforming to company quality control procedures, including project specific CAD/BIM requirements.
