Professional Civil Engineer, Utilities & Infrastructure Design
TKDA, Downers Grove, Illinois, United States, 60516
Overview
At TKDA, a 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you\'ll own a piece of every project you help deliver. We\'re looking for an experienced Professional Civil Engineer to lead comprehensive utility design and site design projects—from domestic water and fire protection systems to sanitary sewer and stormwater infrastructure. You\'ll work out of our Downers Grove, Illinois office as part of our Rail division, which provides services for Class I, short-line, and commuter rail projects throughout the country. You\'ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams while growing your project management skills and beginning to lead design efforts. You may work on industrial waste systems, potable water design, or complex utility coordination for building projects. This is your chance to expand beyond individual design work: you\'ll start managing projects from conception through construction, mentor newer team members, and take ownership of both technical and financial project aspects. It\'s the perfect role for a PE ready to step into leadership while still getting hands-on engineering experience. Ready to join a team where your growth directly impacts your future? Let\'s talk.
