* Familiarity with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS), and other Federal design criteria.

* Design-Build project experience.

* BIA certification.

* Active security clearance or ability to obtain one.

* Experience supporting resilience, flood protection, pump station, or water resources projects.

Ideal Candidate:

The ideal candidate is a hands-on civil engineer who remains actively engaged in project design while serving as a technical leader and mentor. They are comfortable managing multiple assignments, solving complex engineering challenges, and delivering high-quality site development solutions for Federal clients in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
