• Perform detailed engineering calculations and develop accurate drawings for grading, stormwater, roadway, and utility systems.
• Conduct hydraulic and hydrologic (H&H) modeling and design for drainage infrastructure and stormwater management systems; calculate precise earthwork volumes to support construction planning.
• Oversee the production of complete engineering plan sets, technical specifications, and construction documentation in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Integrate GIS data, field-verified information, and public datasets into design exhibits with a high level of precision and attention to detail.
• Prepare drainage reports and perform H&H analyses in accordance with jurisdictional permitting standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Produce complete engineering plan sets, technical specifications, and construction documentation packages in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
• Apply industry-standard engineering principles, practices, and procedures to ensure high-quality deliverables across all phases of design.
• Maintain awareness of evolving regulations relevant to project scopes and client industries.
• Develop clear, comprehensive technical reports and project presentations that support internal reviews, permitting packages, and client communication.
• Apply established engineering principles and internal QA/QC standards to ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality across all deliverables.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—including Survey, GIS, Permitting, and Project Management—to ensure cohesive design integration across all project components.
• Research and verify data inputs from internal departments and external agencies to support informed design decisions and regulatory alignment.
• Support mentoring and technical oversight of junior engineers and drafters.

Required Skills & Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from an accredited institution.
• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the State of Colorado, or ability to obtain Colorado licensure immediately upon hire required; must be in good standing with the ability to obtain reciprocity in project states.
• Minimum of 8 years of progressive civil engineering experience, including leadership on energy or industrial infrastructure projects.
• Proficiency in UDFCD (Urban Drainage and Flood Control District) hydrologic and hydraulic software, including CUHP, UD-Culvert, UD-Detention, UD-Inlet, and UD Rational.
• Working knowledge of the UDFCD Criteria Manual Volumes 1, 2, and 3.
• Direct experience in the Oil & Gas and Renewable Energy sectors, with a demonstrated ability to deliver civil design solutions tailored to energy infrastructure projects.
• Experience working in and evaluating designs within floodplain areas; knowledge of applicable floodplain regulations at the local, state, and federal levels.
• Comprehensive understanding of civil engineering and land surveying principles, terminology, and best practices.
• Proven ability to design and produce complete civil plan sets, drainage reports, and Stormwater Management Plans (SWMP/SWMPP) in alignment with regulatory standards.
• Strong working knowledge of Drainage, Erosion, and Sediment Control (DESC) and Grading, Erosion, and Sediment Control (GESC) permitting processes.
• Zoning & Regulatory Knowledge – Understanding of zoning regulations and land use codes relevant to project design.
• Proficiency in civil engineering design software including AutoCAD Civil 3D, Hydraflow, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, and SWMM5.
• Familiarity with GIS tools and spatial datasets to support design accuracy, regulatory compliance, and exhibit production.
• Data Verification – Ability to compare datasets and follow up with internal departments and government agencies to confirm data accuracy and regulatory compliance.
• Excellent technical writing and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce high-quality documentation and collaborate effectively across disciplines.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, high-quality, and code-compliant work with a focus on technology and innovative workflows.
• Customer-focused mindset with a proven ability to deliver responsive, client-oriented solutions.
• Self-motivated, accountable, and receptive to feedback, with a consistent track record of ownership and follow-through on tasks.

Big Bonus Points if you Have:
• Advanced knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D.
• Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) credential.
• Department of Transportation (DOT) experience, including roadway and intersection design, and knowledge of DOT design criteria and manuals.
