In the office, you will support engineers with site layouts, grading and drainage plans, stormwater management systems, utility design, and other civil infrastructure improvements. You may also assist with preparing and updating technical drawings using AutoCAD and Civil 3D, compiling and analyzing project data, maintaining project documentation, and contributing to technical reports and project deliverables.
