Associate Civil Engineer – Municipal Infrastructure

Provost & Pritchard is offering opportunities for associate civil engineers with experience working on water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure projects for public agencies and private developers.  Candidates must have excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to build relationships, the ability to work in multidisciplinary project teams, and the ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.  The ideal candidate will have experience working on engineering projects from the planning/feasibility phase through design and construction and be able to demonstrate the ability to solve problems independently and in a team environment.

Candidates must show a practical understanding of the engineering principles that underlie municipal infrastructure (fluid flow mechanics, engineering economics, general theory of wastewater treatment, etc.).  Furthermore, candidates must have experience or be willing to take on the management of projects and project teams and client relationships.  We work with clients ranging from large cities to very small unincorporated communities throughout California.  Our projects improve the lives of the residents and represent an investment in long-term sustainable growth.  An Associate Engineer will contribute to this important work by directing more junior staff and supporting more senior staff with a variety of tasks, including:
