* Planning, design, and construction experience in wastewater systems, including pipelines, pump station, and treatment plants and knowledgeable about water systems.

* Experience in successfully delivering supporting projects spanning multiple years in collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams.

* Strong analytical, conceptual, communication and organizational skills.

* Ability to effectively interface with all levels of personnel and management.

* Ability to work and thrive in a team environment.

* Strong problem solving skills.
