The Project Engineer / Solid Waste Engineer will work with other engineers and CAD technicians on various civil, solid waste, and environmental related projects in our Charlotte, NC office. 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: develop master plans, design drawings, design of stormwater management and erosion control systems, technical specifications, and cost estimates
Prepare various types of related reports and studies to secure permitting for projects
Draft work for scoping/conceptual work/engineering packages
Assist with oversight and guidance of projects from initial concept through construction
Assist in the preparation of project proposals
Collaborate, mentor, and lead as appropriate
Prepare preliminary engineering reports
Perform and review detailed calculations: stormwater management, leachate generation and pipe sizing, slope stability, and compaction density
Produce effective and high-quality project documents (including reports, drawings, and specifications)
Assist clients with construction procurement
Provide bidding and construction administration services
