Engineer I or II

Water is a necessity in Southern California, and the systems that move, store, treat, and protect it are among the most critical infrastructure our communities depend on. At Harris, we are dedicated to advancing water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure that safeguards public health, protects our coastline and watersheds, and supports resilient, sustainable growth throughout the region.

Our work focuses on complex pumping facilities, lift stations, large- and small-diameter pipelines, force mains, trunk sewers, storage tanks and reservoirs, and other water market-related infrastructure. In a region challenged by water scarcity, aging infrastructure, seismic risk, regulatory demands, and climate-driven storm events, our engineers design practical, forward-thinking solutions that keep essential systems operating safely and reliably.

From planning and alternatives analysis through detailed design and engineering support during construction, we partner with local agencies to modernize critical infrastructure and strengthen communities across Southern California. We take pride in delivering technically sound, constructable solutions that move water where it needs to go, all the while doing it efficiently, sustainably, and with long-term resilience in mind.
