Position Description
As a senior civil engineer, you will play a key role in leading and managing complex engineering projects from conception to completion. You will leverage your extensive experience and technical expertise to provide guidance to junior engineers, oversee project teams, and ensure the successful delivery of projects within scope, budget, and schedule. Primarily the engineer will be asked to:
1.) Perform professional civil engineering work to develop, investigate, and design construction and maintenance projects in support of Santee Cooper's dams and dikes. Other projects may be focused on generating stations, transmission system, properties, and economic development activities.
2.) Assist with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) compliance requirements.
3.) Be responsible for multiple engineering projects from concept to completion, and providing technical expertise as a corporate resource to all departments as directed by unit supervision.
4.) Perform project management of projects to ensure adherence to budget and schedule, resource allocation, etc. to optimize efficiency and minimize cost with maintaining high quality deliverables.
Essential Job Tasks:
Dams and Dikes:
Responsible for the oversight of the Santee Cooper Project's 40 miles of earthen embankment and associated concrete structures.
Responsibilities include the inspection and monitoring of the dams, dikes, and instrumentation on the Project; structural evaluation of earthen dams, concrete structures, and spillway gates; construction oversight during repairs to Project features; project management; and regulatory coordination with FERC.
Additional requirements included:
Performing engineering computations related to site design, foundation design, structure design, etc. on the dams from concept to completion. NOTE: Computations will include knowledge and application of engineering concepts and standards. Projects are often several million dollar investments in capital or involve complex investigations to reduce likelihood of failure. Creates engineering and construction plans and specifications for construction projects. Prepares purchase requisitions, bid packages, and material orders to acquire materials, equipment, and/or services necessary for construction projects and engineering projects. Prepares necessary permitting documents and submittals throughout various phases of a project. NOTE: Attendance and participation in public meetings may be required. Serves as the project lead for assigned projects by attending project meetings and managing design activities and material/equipment/service acquisitions to meet the project schedules. Ensures that all projects are completed in accordance with approved design guidelines accurately and within the scheduled time frame. Provides project update status to management on routine bases.
Projects and Project Management:
