Experience in civil engineering design including stormwater management plans (flood control and water quality), SWPPPs, heavy civil, wastewater, and manufacturing/industrial operational construction

Site development background with experience designing roadways, grading, pavements, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, domestic and fire water main systems, erosion and sediment control, and traffic plans

Proficiency in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and hydrology/stormwater management software

Working knowledge of IBC, ASCE 7, and NFPA with the ability to quickly research local jurisdictional requirements

Ability to conduct, document, and stamp engineering calculations and design packages applying established procedures and safety requirements
