• Lead Civil Engineer

    Actalent (Seattle, WA)


    Description

    Lead Fisheries Engineer. The ideal candidate would have 15 years + relevant experience. Typically that is a civil engineer or mechanical engineer. The candidate will have to have a current P.E, license at some state in the Pacific Northwest or CA, with the ability to obtain licenses in other states.

     

    As our Lead, the candidate needs to have experience and proven success as a Seller – Doer. That is, experience leading/managing engineering design teams to deliver successful projects, and experience in client service, business development, preparing/pricing proposals and negotiating contracts for work.

     

    Most of our fisheries engineering projects are on the west coast, and the candidate must have very good regional experience. The fisheries issues on the west coast are quite different than in the eastern U.S., so that regional experience is essential.
