Senior Civil/Stormwater Engineer

About The Job

GSI Environmental is seeking a Senior Civil Engineer to join our growing stormwater and water resources practice. This position will have a strong focus on civil design and will support a diverse range of environmental and water-related projects, including site grading and drainage, stormwater management and treatment, industrial site improvements, conveyance and pumping systems, infiltration and low-impact development (LID) BMPs, and other site and water infrastructure projects. Much of the work will support projects in California, with periodic travel to project sites as needed.

The successful candidate will work closely with GSI’s engineers and scientists to develop practical solutions to complex environmental and engineering challenges. We are looking for an experienced civil engineer who can lead and review design work, manage projects, mentor junior staff, and contribute to the continued growth of GSI’s civil design capabilities. The position offers the opportunity to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in GSI’s technical, team-oriented environment. The position offers flexibility for remote work, but candidates should be located near one of GSI’s offices in Irvine, Folsom, Emeryville, or Missoula.
