Are you ready to launch your engineering career with purpose?

We’re looking for a Project Associate who’s eager to dive into complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure projects and grow their technical capabilities from the ground up. You’ll work side-by-side with experienced Engineers and Project Managers, contributing to high-impact work in water systems, stormwater, wastewater, and transportation design—all while building a strong foundation for long-term success.

Whether you’re passionate about sustainable infrastructure, data-driven decision-making, or designing communities that thrive, this is a role where your curiosity and work ethic will take you far.

What You’ll Do
In this role, you’ll play a key supporting role across a variety of engineering services:

• Assist with project scoping, task planning, and technical execution
• Conduct stormwater modeling, drainage impact analysis, and utility system design
• Support permitting, capital planning, and regulatory compliance assessments
• Use tools like GIS, CMMS, and AutoCAD to manage and analyze infrastructure data
• Prepare reports, technical figures, and proposal materials
• Collaborate with a tight-knit team of engineers who take pride in quality, process, and innovation

You’ll receive hands-on mentorship and regular feedback to help accelerate your development.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You…

• Have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (civil, environmental, or related field)
  
• Are looking for an early-career engineering role
• Thrive in a team-oriented environment and bring a curious, solutions-focused mindset
  
• Have strong communication skills and take pride in your work
  
• Want to grow into a well-rounded engineer with cross-disciplinary exposure
• Plus if you’ve used GIS, AutoCAD, or have a working knowledge of hydrology/hydraulics.

Why Join Us?

We invest in process and mentorship because we know that’s what grows great engineers. Here, you won’t get stuck doing busywork—you’ll gain real project exposure, responsibility, and guidance to level up your skills and confidence.
