Senior Civil Engineer - Water (Chicago)

Our growing WTR practice is looking for strong construction engineering candidates interested in working on some of the most exciting and challenging capital programs in northeastern Illinois. We have immediate openings on the City of Chicago's Ancillary Sewer Program, the City of Joliet's Water Main Replacement Program and the DuPage Water Commission's Waterlink Water Transmission Main Program. Each of these programs are unique and present opportunities to step into leadership roles at Burns McDonnell. The Ancillary Sewer Program involves providing the City with construction program management as well as construction engineering oversight of individual projects. Each of these projects tend to be small in nature but extremely complex and must be completed in short order to allow for larger sewer rehab projects to be initiated by the City. The Water Main Replacement Program also involves providing construction program management and construction engineering of multiple projects each construction season. This program is an extension of Joliet's Alternative Water Source Program to switch from groundwater wells to Lake Michigan as their drinking water source. Finally, Waterlink Water Transmission Main Program will provide the same services as the other as a part of bringing Lake Michigan drinking water to the communities of Montgomery, Oswego and Yorkville.
