Waste Systems Design Engineer

Job Title: Landfill Design Engineer

Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled and dedicated Landfill Design Engineer with up to 6 years of experience, actively engaged in hands-on landfill design work. This is not a managerial or project management role; instead, it is a technical design position focused on developing expertise under the mentorship of a leading landfill designer. The ideal candidate is eager to grow as an understudy and contribute directly to innovative landfill gas capture projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and perform engineering calculations and direct CADD efforts to translate concepts into detailed design drawings.
• Prepare comprehensive design reports, project documentation, and certification materials.
• Collaborate on all project phases from feasibility studies through construction and startup, including the preparation of drawings, plans, specifications, bid documents, and reports.
• Develop technical proposals for mid to large-scale projects, including technical plans, schedules, and cost estimates, working closely with project staff.
• Apply specialized knowledge to the design of landfill gas capture mechanisms, with a strong focus on renewable natural gas systems.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• PE licensed or EIT with the ability and commitment to obtain PE licensure.
• Up to 5 years of direct landfill design experience, particularly with landfill gas capture system design (strongly preferred).
• Proven hands-on experience with mechanical engineering design related to gas capture and renewable natural gas (strongly preferred).
• Ability to independently perform engineering calculations and produce technical design documentation.
• Strong communication skills for writing reports and contributing to project decisions under the guidance of senior client managers.
• Willingness to learn and grow under mentorship from senior landfill designers.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work closely with top industry experts in landfill design.
• Hands-on experience across all project phases, from concept to startup.
• A collaborative and supportive work environment focused on professional growth.
