Civil Project Engineer - Waste & Recycling

Location: Richmond

The Project Engineer will work closely with other engineers and CAD technicians on various civil, solid waste, and environmental related projects. The projects are challenging and provide unique design opportunities. You will be responsible for designing solid waste facilities that will enable LaBella to create sustainable, cost-effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients. The projects are intricate and incorporate both civil and environmental engineering skills, including land development (grading and stormwater management);

leachate collection, treatment, and management; renewable energy designs; and organic waste management. Brand new, already operational, and closed solid waste facilities face many different types of challenges - there is never a dull moment, nor is there a cookie-cutter solution that fits every similar situation.

Duties

* Projects will include solid-waste related site development projects: developing master plans, design drawings, design of stormwater management and erosion control systems, technical specifications, and cost estimates.

* Preparing various types of related reports and studies to secure permitting for projects.

* Drafting work for scoping/conceptual work/engineering packages.

* Position will require some travel to clients' facilities to better understand design issues and to monitor construction progress.
