- Develop roadway and site design plans, grading plans, drainage layouts, profiles, details, and construction documents.
- Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to evaluate stormwater runoff, conveyance systems, culverts, channels, bridges, and other drainage infrastructure.
- Support floodplain assessments, FEMA-related studies, flood hazard evaluations, and floodplain permitting activities.
- Develop and review drainage calculations, hydraulic models, and technical reports using applicable engineering methodologies and software.
- Apply HEC-RAS and other hydraulic modeling tools to evaluate existing and proposed drainage conditions and infrastructure improvements.
- Prepare roadway and civil design deliverables using OpenRoads Designer (ORD), AutoCAD, and other applicable engineering design software.
- Support stormwater management and water quality design, including treatment facilities, erosion control, and permanent stormwater infrastructure.
- Coordinate with CDOT, local municipalities, regulatory agencies, and other project stakeholders to support project development and delivery.
- Assist with the preparation of technical specifications, engineering reports, cost estimates, and construction documents.
- Coordinate design activities with multidisciplinary teams, including roadway, structural, traffic, geotechnical, environmental, and water resources professionals.
- Participate in AECOM's regional workshare initiatives, coordinating with other Southwest offices to support project delivery, resource planning, and technical collaboration.
- Review engineering work for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable design standards, agency requirements, and project specifications.
- Support project managers and senior engineers in meeting project schedules, budgets, quality expectations, and client commitments.
QualificationsMinimum Requirements- BA/BS + 4 years of relevant experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience in transportation civil engineering design, with an emphasis on highway and roadway projects, drainage design, stormwater management, and hydraulic analysis.
- Experience with OpenRoads Designer (ORD) and AutoCAD for the development of roadway plans, drainage plans, grading plans, and construction documents.
- Demonstrated experience with hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, including HEC-RAS, drainage system analysis, floodplain evaluations, and FEMA flood hazard requirements.
- Experience supporting CDOT projects and familiarity with CDOT design standards, drainage criteria, specifications, and project delivery processes. Experience with other Colorado transportation agencies or local municipalities is also desirable.
- Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification is preferred. Professional Engineer (PE) licensure in Colorado, or the ability to obtain Colorado PE licensure through reciprocity, is highly desirable.
- Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering workshare assignments across geographically distributed teams, with the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain quality standards, and deliver technical work products within established project schedules.
