The posting

Kennedy Jenks is seeking a Civil Engineer with a Structural focus in Virginia to lead design and consulting services for water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the United States. This role supports the integrity, life safety, constructability, and long-term performance of facilities such as pump stations, reservoirs, treatment plant buildings, tanks, clarifiers, and related infrastructure while working closely with engineers, designers, and construction teams as part of the Kennedy Jenks Technical Services Team. What You’ll Do As a Civil/Structural Engineer, you’ll contribute across design, multidisciplinary collaboration, construction-phase support, and technology-enabled project delivery.

Lead design: Develop concrete, steel, wood, masonry, and composite solutions for infrastructure projects of varying size and complexity. Prepare design deliverables: Produce structural calculations, drawings, and specifications that support clear, coordinated project delivery. Analyze infrastructure systems: Design and evaluate treatment plant buildings, tanks, clarifiers, pump stations, piping support systems, and existing structures. Support construction-phase services: Provide engineering input during construction, including field observation and coordination with multidisciplinary project teams. Collaborate across disciplines: Partner with civil, mechanical, electrical, process, and construction professionals to solve technical challenges for municipal agencies and industrial facilities. Use digital delivery tools: Apply BIM and analysis tools to support coordination, client input, and project visualization from planning through construction.

What Makes This Role Different

High-impact infrastructure work: Your designs support critical water and wastewater systems that communities rely on every day. Visible technical influence: You help shape decisions that affect safety, resilience, constructability, and long-term facility performance. Full project lifecycle exposure: You contribute from early planning and design through construction support, giving you a broad view of how structural solutions perform in the field.

What You Bring

Consulting mindset: You bring sound judgment, client awareness, and the ability to translate complex structural considerations into practical recommendations. Technical judgment and infrastructure perspective: You understand how design choices affect constructability, operations, maintenance, and long-term facility performance. Collaborative communication: You work effectively with designers, engineers, construction teams, clients, and stakeholders across disciplines. Problem-solving ownership: You balance technical requirements, project constraints, schedules, and client needs while adapting to changing priorities. Digital design fluency: You are comfortable using analysis, drafting, and modeling tools to support coordinated design.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering with a Structural Engineering focus (ABET Accredited)  Experience: 8+ years of consulting engineering experience focused on structural design. Technical knowledge: Strong understanding of structural design principles, codes, and standards, including application to buildings, tanks, support systems, and related infrastructure. Licenses: Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) required in Virginia. Licensed Structural Engineer (SE) preferred but not required.  Tools: Knowledge of AutoCAD and 3D/BIM modeling; experience with Revit, RISA 3D, Enercalc, RAM Elements, RAM Structural Systems, or STAAD preferred. Preferred background: Experience supporting structural engineering for industrial or municipal infrastructure projects.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
