About The Position
Mott MacDonald offers an opportunity to have a career with one of the premier employers in the ports, coastal, and offshore wind engineering industries. We are currently hiring a principal coastal engineer with 15+ years of experience to join our West Coast engineering team. Mott MacDonald is a full-service engineering company focused on the development and rehabilitation of port and harbor infrastructure, dredging planning and design, planning and development of renewable energy projects, and improving coastal resiliency of coastal/port infrastructure and habitats. Typical projects include port infrastructure assessment and design, offshore wind enabling infrastructure project development, habitat/shoreline protection and stabilization, waterfront parks, and civil engineering. Primary job responsibilities include leading the direction of both coastal engineering led, and multi-disciplinary projects. Responsibilities may include concept, preliminary, and detailed design of coastal infrastructure and dredging, civil engineering design, review of geotechnical assessments, hydraulics and hydrology, and other miscellaneous civil engineering tasks. The role also involves assessment of coastal processes such as currents, waves, storm surge, sediment transport, and coastal/estuarine morphology and compound flooding. Coordination of data collection plans for surveying, assessments, geotechnical exploration, and environmental data collection is essential. The principal engineer will collaborate with multiple Project Principals, managers, and project engineers to execute projects, develop clients and opportunities, and mentor mid and junior level staff. The position supports projects across the USA, Canada, and Caribbean as a coastal design subject matter expert. The engineer will drive and oversee performance baseline management (scope, budget, schedule) and work with sub-consultants and team members to assure quality control of work throughout project execution and delivery. Effective communication and interface with clients, regulatory agencies, stakeholders, and other Mott MacDonald professionals across the US and Canada are crucial. Additionally, collaboration with Mott MacDonald practices across North America and abroad will contribute to the development of technical excellence.
