The Civil Engineer position at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) involves serving as an on-site technical expert for civil engineering aspects of a construction, maintenance, and repair program. The role requires performing engineering work in the preparation of civil, structural, and architectural designs, drawings, and specifications for various construction projects. These projects include alterations, renovations, additions, and rehabilitation of complex major and minor facilities such as office buildings, laboratories, manufacturing and production facilities, warehouses, and historic family housing, as well as infrastructure like roads, sidewalks, ramps, and stairs. The engineer will be responsible for designing and engineering large and complicated projects that do not have previous precedents, often involving conflicting issues between economic feasibility and management desires. This includes developing and reviewing designs, plans, specifications, and design analyses to ensure technical adequacy, compliance with government standards, and conformance with best engineering practices. The engineer will also prepare detailed design criteria for new construction and modifications to existing facilities, ensuring that all projects meet the established objectives. In addition to design responsibilities, the Civil Engineer will prepare plans and specifications for both in-house and contract projects, accumulate technical engineering data, and write specifications for facilities that support machinery and equipment.

The engineer will also be involved in preparing project cost estimates, drafting change orders, and managing project progress and contractual change orders.
