Responsibilities
- Lead civil assessments for new and converted sites, evaluating topography, drainage, utilities, soil conditions, floodplains, and environmental limitations
- Analyze traffic studies and offsite infrastructure needs, identifying potential civil-related cost and schedule risks during site evaluation
- Oversee geotechnical investigations, define RFP scope, evaluate drilling plans, interpret findings, and direct design responses
- Evaluate site viability for major grading, infrastructure installation, and stormwater control measures
- Identify critical site constraints and estimate civil-related expenses early in site selection
- Create and maintain civil design standards, master specifications, and standardized drawings for campus-wide projects
- Manage third-party civil consultants from concept through issued-for-construction phases, ensuring quality and compliance
- Develop earthmoving strategies, balance cut and fill volumes, and sequence earthwork for large developments
- Plan phased project delivery, including early work packages like bulk grading and utility installation, to shorten overall timelines
- Coordinate routing of site utilities including water, sewer, storm drainage, and medium-voltage underground systems, with attention to offsite connections and roadway upgrades
- Align civil design with structural, mechanical, electrical, fiber, and architectural disciplines
- Lead permitting efforts across jurisdictions, covering land disturbance, stormwater (NPDES/SWPPP), floodplain (CLOMR/LOMR), environmental, and utility approvals
- Engage with state and local agencies, drainage districts, and utility providers
- Track permit timelines as part of the overall project critical path
- Assess regulatory risks related to wetlands, 100-year flood zones, karst formations, and expansive soils, and develop mitigation approaches
- Review contractor submissions, RFIs, and field conditions specific to civil works
- Conduct regular site inspections to verify construction quality and regulatory compliance
- Manage design modifications and change orders for civil components
- Coordinate civil closeout documentation, as-built records, and approvals with local authorities
Requirements
