This role requires the ability to work with minimal information and rough sketches to develop civil site designs into completed projects, all while working under the supervision of the firm principal. The engineer will perform discipline design tasks that necessitate the application of fundamental engineering concepts and mathematical formulas, including plan/profiles, grading, cross-sections, drainage, and water and sewer flow calculations. In addition to design tasks, the Civil Project Engineer will determine construction quantities and perform necessary calculations using accepted engineering formulas and references. The role also involves the development of site details for design elements that may not be clearly defined in the layouts and sketches. The engineer will create various section cuts, profiles, and cross-sections using AutoCAD Civil 3D, and prepare drainage designs, calculations, and reports, including storm sewer systems and detention ponds. Water quality calculations, including green infrastructure practices such as bio-retention, will be required for residential and commercial site development projects in the Middle Tennessee area. The engineer will also prepare application packages that include calculations and narrative reports, such as Class V Injection Well permit applications and SWPPP NOI/NOC permit applications for review and approval by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC).
