Role description:
Arcadis is seeking a Project Structural Engineer to support the delivery of water, wastewater, and infrastructure projects. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to the structural design of critical public infrastructure - including treatment facilities, pump stations, and related systems -while developing technical expertise and increasing responsibility in project execution.
You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to develop practical and efficient structural solutions for both new design and rehabilitation projects. This position provides strong growth potential, including opportunities to expand technical expertise and take on increasing ownership of design tasks as you progress toward senior-level roles.
Role accountabilities:
You will perform structural design and analysis for new and existing water and wastewater infrastructure, developing calculations, drawings, and specifications for reinforced concrete, structural steel, and masonry systems. Your work will also include evaluating existing structures and contributing to repair and rehabilitation strategies that address aging facilities and improve long‑term performance. In this role, you will take ownership of defined structural design packages, manage scope and deliverables, and apply sound engineering judgment while gaining increasing independence in technical decision‑making.
You will collaborate closely with civil, mechanical, and process teams to deliver integrated design solutions, preparing construction documents - including plans, sections, details, and specifications - and supporting quality control reviews to ensure accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project requirements. During construction, you will support field implementation through submittal reviews, RFIs, and site observations, working directly with contractors to resolve challenges and ensure successful execution of your designs. You will also participate in team and client coordination and contribute technical inputs for proposals and project pursuits.
You will contribute to impactful community‑focused projects at Arcadis, helping improve water quality, advance sustainability, and enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure. In this role, you will build technical expertise through hands‑on project delivery, working alongside experienced engineers and multidisciplinary teams while supporting the design and execution of meaningful infrastructure improvements. You will take an active role in developing your professional capabilities, gaining exposure to increasingly complex responsibilities and progressing toward senior and leadership positions as you deepen your technical and project experience.
