Civil Engineer- Water/Wastewater

Our engineers design and deliver reliable, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure that directly protects public health, supports community growth, and shapes the environments where we live and work.

As a Water/Wastewater Engineer joining our rapidly growing engineering group in Latham, NY, you will tackle diverse challenges across the Capital Region and north into the Adirondack Region. No two days are the same: one day you might be working with a small village of a few hundred residents, and the next, solving complex infrastructure challenges for cities of 100,000+.

From wastewater treatment, collection, and disposal to surface water sources, groundwater wells, drinking water treatment, storage, and distribution—plus collaborating on high-profile private development projects—you will gain unmatched technical exposure and leadership opportunities.

We are seeking an action-oriented and goal-driven engineer who thrives on solving tough problems, taking ownership, and pushing projects across the finish line.
