Review civil design deliverables for consistency with project requirements, constructability, and integration with environmental and permitting constraints.
Ensure civil designs incorporate requirements related to flood protection, stormwater management, erosion control, and site access.
Support optimization of site layout and grading to minimize environmental impacts, earthwork quantities, and construction risk.
Participate in civil design reviews, value engineering exercises, and constructability assessments.

Hydrology, Drainage & Water Resources

Coordinate and supervise hydrology, drainage, and stormwater studies supporting site development and civil design.
Review hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, floodplain assessments, stormwater management plans, erosion and sediment control measures, and drainage designs.
Ensure hydrology and drainage assumptions are appropriately reflected in civil engineering design and construction sequencing.
Support development of mitigation measures to address flood risk, erosion, and surface water impacts.

Environmental Engineering & Permitting

Coordinate and supervise environmental engineering and permitting activities for gas turbine power generation projects, including simple cycle and combined cycle facilities.
Oversee EPC contractors and environmental/engineering consultants responsible for environmental studies, emissions calculations, technical documentation, and permit applications.
Review environmental deliverables for technical accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable regulations and project requirements.
Manage permitting schedules and ensure alignment with overall project development and execution milestones.
Track permit conditions and ensure environmental requirements are incorporated into civil and plant design, construction planning, and commissioning activities.

EPC & Consultant Supervision

Serve as the civil, environmental, and water resources coordination lead in interactions with EPC contractors.
Define scopes of work, review proposals, and manage performance of civil, environmental, and engineering consultants.
Supervise quality, schedule, and budget of EPC and consultant deliverables related to civil engineering and environmental permitting.
Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, and risk assessments to ensure civil and environmental requirements are fully integrated.
Support resolution of civil, environmental, and permitting issues during engineering, procurement, and construction.

Regulatory & Stakeholder Interface

Support and coordinate communications with regulatory authorities and other stakeholders related to civil, environmental, and water resource approvals.
Assist in responding to regulatory comments, information requests, and stakeholder inquiries.
Support public consultation or disclosure processes as required.

Documentation, Reporting & Risk Management

Maintain organized records of permits, technical studies, design documentation, correspondence, and compliance records.
Provide regular reporting on permitting status, civil design progress, environmental risks, and hydrology/drainage constraints.
Support civil and environmental inputs to project schedules, budgets, and risk registers.
Assist with civil and environmental sections of development reports, internal approvals, and financing or due diligence materials.

Job requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
5–10 years of experience supporting civil and environmental engineering for power generation or large industrial infrastructure projects.
Experience supervising EPC contractors and engineering/environmental consultants.
Working knowledge of civil site design, environmental permitting, and hydrology/drainage considerations for gas turbine facilities.
Strong technical review, coordination, and communication skills.

Preferred

Experience with gas turbine or combined cycle power generation projects.
Experience reviewing civil and environmental design packages during EPC execution.
Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification.

Key Competencies

Project owner/developer-side EPC and consultant supervision
Civil, environmental, and water-related risk management
Integrated site and plant design coordination
Regulatory awareness and compliance oversight
Schedule- and cost-aware decision-making
