Valley Metro
Overview
The Senior Civil Engineer is responsible for managing the rail transit standards and criteria and reviewing corridor design and construction projects including evaluating scope, budget, and schedules. Typical duties include managing and coordinating engineering activities in support of transit capital improvements; reviewing designs and plans for compliance with Valley Metro standards and criteria; and providing highly responsible and complex technical support to the assigned Manager and capital projects teams. Responsibilities
Review contract documents, shop drawings, design plans, specifications, RFI (request for information), and other related design and construction documentation for compliance with codes, project specifications, and agency criteria. Provide continuous updates of the Agency’s design criteria manuals, standard project specifications, and standard details for Valley Metro''s light rail, streetcar, and bus programs; review and approve Design Criteria Revisions/Deviations. Provide technical expertise and oversight of rail standards and issues for Valley Metro; interact with design consultants, contractors, and the development community near and adjacent to Valley Metro''s transit system. Review the work and work product of engineering staff and consultants and/or related project contractors to ensure quality work products and timelines are met. Direct staff in technical lines of work to ensure successful completion of capital improvement projects by coordinating with stakeholders, cities, utility companies, and other agencies. Develop engineering designs and cost estimates, particularly for smaller projects and upgrades; manage smaller capital projects on behalf of Valley Metro and/or member agencies (e.g., park-and-ride expansions, pavement repairs at Valley Metro facilities). Provide technical analysis and review in support of projects related to Valley Metro''s Project Development (Planning, Design and Construction). Oversee all aspects of project implementation, including development of design and construction, ensuring compatibility and consistency within the overall program. Attend and participate in professional group meetings, and on the Technical Review Advisory Committee and Safety Certification Committee. Coordinate projects with utility companies, railroad, and city, county, and state agencies as needed. Provide assistance in real estate technical matters related to project real estate definition and acquisitions. Establish and manage effective internal and external communication and coordination with Valley Metro departments, consultants, contractors, and member agencies. Maintain proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word and Excel) and related software; experience with Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD (Civil 3D), and ProjectWise/AcConex is preferred. Make field visits for research and coordination purposes; perform other duties of similar nature and level as assigned. Qualifications
Bachelor''s Degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field, and six years of increasingly responsible experience in the design and management of capital projects. Three of the six years must reflect experience in managing capital projects, particularly public-transit projects, at a supervisory level. A minimum of two years of experience in light rail, streetcar, heavy rail, or freight rail design is highly preferred. Registration as a Professional Engineer (P.E.) in the State of Arizona. Minimum of two years experience as a professionally registered engineer is highly preferred. Note: PE experience in another state qualifies; Arizona PE must be obtained within six months of hire. A valid Arizona Class C Driver License or the ability to utilize an alternative method of transportation efficiently when required to complete essential job functions. Knowledge and Skills
Knowledge of engineering analysis, design, and construction as it relates to light rail transit; fundamentals of architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, vehicle, and environmental engineering. AREMA Manuals and Standard Detail Drawings; FTA Project and Construction Management Policies and Procedures including Management Plans and Risk Assessments. Management principles and practices; transit operations; project budgets, estimating, and related documents; project scoping and contract administration. Familiarity with local, regional, state, and federal agencies involved in transit planning, development, and delivery; applicable laws, codes, and regulations related to public transportation; ADA Accessible Guidelines and Public Right-of-Way guidelines. Skills in reading and understanding plans, specifications, design criteria, and details; performing complex engineering analysis and design; coordinating with Valley Metro staff; time management; and computer proficiency (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and document management tools such as ProjectWise/AcConex. Physical Demands
Mobility to work in an office setting and to drive to work sites; strength and stamina to inspect construction projects and facilities; vision to read printed materials; hearing and speech to communicate in person or by phone or radio. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities. Work Environment
Sedentary work with occasional lifting of up to 10 pounds; exposure to potential hazards at construction sites. Some travel may be required.
