The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator—both in writing and in person—and brings strong project planning and management abilities. This role works closely with District staff, consultants, contractors, and partner agencies, so the ability to collaborate tactfully and effectively is essential.

This is an exciting time to join our team. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to support and contribute to a range of impactful upcoming projects, including rehabilitation and recoating of major reservoir facilities (Res 20B and Res 2A), the Hypochlorite Building Rehabilitation, and water and sewer main installation associated with the Dublin Boulevard Extension. Additional work may include supporting development-related projects such as the GHPacVest commercial site and helping advance new tools such as the District’s water and sewer capacity tracking system.

In this role, you may serve as a Project Engineer supporting the Senior Engineer on multiple Capital Improvement Projects identified in the District’s FY26/27 Capital Improvement Program, including pipeline replacements, facility upgrades, and system reliability improvements.

Additional opportunities include supporting procurement activities—such as specifications and bid document preparation—coordinating with contractors, and contributing to CIP reporting by tracking milestones, preparing status updates, and identifying risks requiring elevation to the Senior Engineer.
