What are the responsibilities and job description for the Civil - Site Engineer position at Leidos?
Description
Leidos is seeking a Civil - Site Engineer to join our civil engineering department in our growing Charlotte, Orlando, Atlanta, and/or Portland office to work on a variety of electric utility projects. This is an excellent career opportunity for an enthusiastic, energetic and talented person to join a team of outstanding professionals and the opportunity to apply the latest technology to help our clients solve their most challenging problems. Typical projects involve site/civil design engineering for both large- and small-scale utility projects. Candidates who have commercial/industrial site development, or roadway development, mass grading experience will also be considered for the position. Candidate will primarily function as a senior engineer performing design reviews on a regular basis, as well as developing junior staff members, and contributing to bids and proposal development. This role will also consist of taking a responsible engineer role on main client projects, overseeing the work and ensuring quality control on design packages. Site-visits to client substation facilities are expected to be part of the work, along with occasional travel for client meetings and industry related events. Experience in front-facing client operations such as lunch and learns, and kick-off meetings is preferred. Candidate must comply with quality control and safe work practices and maintain compliance with project scope, schedule and budget expectations. This position will be a senior member of a design team comprised of engineers, designers, and drafting technicians.
This position will ideally be staffed at the Leidos office in Charlotte, NC, Orlando, FL, Atlanta, GA, or Portland, OR. However, the following locations will also be considered for this position. Hybrid or fully remote may be considered here.
