• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering or a related field is strongly preferred; equivalent education or experience is also acceptable.
• 3-5 years of experience in manufacturing, processing, or industrial environments, with field experience in civil and structural design and construction.
• Experience with underground utility systems, site drainage, building design, and field construction.
• Project management experience, including successful execution of design, specification, contracts, and installation.
• Experience with utility and process piping systems (e.g., pumps, valves, fittings, and pipe supports).
• Experience with mechanical systems such as hydraulics, pneumatics, high-pressure water, compressed air, and natural gas.
• Strong organizational skills, ability to multitask, and a strong desire to learn.
• Ability to lead and collaborate within cross-functional teams.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and achieve high performance with minimal supervision.
