Key Responsibilities
- Prepare detailed engineering drawings, construction plans, grading plans, and technical exhibits for landfill and solid waste projects.
- Develop and modify designs for landfill cells and cell closures, berms and grading systems, slope stability improvements, leachate collection and conveyance systems, landfill gas collection and control systems, and stormwater management systems.
- Create and maintain Civil 3D surfaces, alignments, corridors, profiles, and pipe networks.
- Utilize ArcGIS to support mapping, site analysis, spatial data management, and project visualization.
- Coordinate with engineers and project managers to ensure designs comply with regulatory and operational requirements.
- Assist with preparation of permit drawings, technical reports, and construction documentation.
- Review and interpret survey data, geotechnical information, and field data for incorporation into design plans.
- Support construction-phase services including drawing revisions, as-built documentation, and contractor coordination.
- Maintain drafting standards, CAD templates, and project file organization.
- Provide technical guidance as needed.
- Associate’s degree or technical certification in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Civil Design, or related field.
- Minimum of 5+ years of experience in civil/site drafting and design, preferably within the solid waste or environmental engineering industry.
- Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and ArcGIS.
- Experience supporting landfill design and operations projects.
- Strong understanding of earthwork and grading, slope stability concepts, leachate collection systems, landfill gas systems, and cell development and closure design.
- Ability to interpret engineering calculations, specifications, and technical reports.
- Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- Experience with municipal solid waste landfill permitting and regulatory compliance.
- Familiarity with state and federal solid waste regulations.
