The posting

Kennedy Jenks is looking for a Project Engineer to join our Oregon team and contribute to the delivery of municipal water and wastewater infrastructure projects. This role is a great fit for an engineer who enjoys solving technical challenges, working across disciplines, and helping move projects from initial planning and design through construction. You’ll work closely with Project Managers, engineers, and technical specialists to develop design solutions, coordinate project activities, and deliver quality engineering work. From preparing calculations and technical reports to supporting construction activities and resolving design questions, you’ll have an active role in the successful execution of projects that serve local communities. This position offers the opportunity to deepen your technical expertise, take ownership of project deliverables, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team while supporting the development of emerging engineering talent.

Varied technical work: Apply your engineering experience across municipal water and wastewater projects, with opportunities to work on complex treatment and infrastructure systems. A connected project role: Work at the intersection of engineering design, multidisciplinary coordination, and construction support, gaining a broader understanding of project delivery. Collaborative problem-solving: Partner with specialists across engineering disciplines to work through design challenges and develop coordinated solutions. Room to grow: Build your technical capabilities, take on increasing responsibility for project deliverables, and help support the growth of other team members.

What You Bring

Engineering experience: A background in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, including experience contributing to multidisciplinary projects. Project coordination: The ability to organize technical work, communicate effectively across teams, and keep assigned tasks and deliverables moving forward. Accountability and initiative: A proactive approach to identifying issues, exercising sound judgment, and following through on responsibilities until they are resolved. Technical problem-solving: The ability to evaluate engineering challenges, apply relevant standards, and develop accurate, practical solutions. Communication and teamwork: Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, clients, and external partners. Technical tools: Familiarity with engineering design documentation, hydraulic modeling, project scheduling, and document review software.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering or a related scientific discipline. Experience: Five or more years of relevant engineering experience in the planning, design, and analysis of municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. Professional licensure: Oregon Professional Engineer (PE) license in Civil or Environmental Engineering preferred.
