Buried Infrastructure Specialist

Arcadis is the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets.

We are more than 34,000 people, in over 30 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life. Everyone has an important role to play. With the power of many curious minds, together we can solve the world’s most complex challenges and deliver more impact together.

Role description:

We are looking for dedicated, creative, and energetic candidates interested in tackling challenges and developing sustainable solutions to address key issues in sanitary/environmental engineering, particularly in buried infrastructure and conveyance disciplines (i.e., water distribution, sewer (storm, sanitary, combined) collection, pumping, storage, and/or treatment systems). This role is as a Buried Infrastructure Specialist supporting our Pennsylvania team, with a preference for candidates located in Allentown, PA or within a commutable distance to Allentown, PA. Previous experience with condition assessment, construction management, renewal and/or rehabilitation design, especially trenchless construction methods, and hydraulic modeling is desirable. This team works in both municipal and industrial systems, so experience in either area is also desirable.

Role Accountabilities:

These positions are likely to include short-term (i.e., 1-4 weeks at a time) travel to out-of-area project sites for fieldwork. Some staff selected for these roles will have the opportunity to work at various client sites outside the region (across the US and sometimes around the world). Applicants must be open to travel and fieldwork, as this role requires frequent travel for field assignments. Approximately 75% of the responsibilities are field-oriented and include tasks related to construction engineering as well as the application of various infrastructure condition assessment techniques.

Our ideal candidate is self-motivated, works well both independently and as part of a team, is interested in a combination of office work, field assignments, and travel, and maintains a flexible attitude towards assignments. The position includes a high degree of client contact, contractor contact/management, and team leadership, and thus requires strong communication and leadership skills.

We provide multiple development programs created for our young professionals that support professional growth and help drive creativity, innovation, and greater integration within our local, national, and global teams.

As a Buried Infrastructure Specialist, you:

• Must be willing to work in an office and field environment with an emphasis on fieldwork.
• Possess technical skills including Microsoft Office Suite, AutoCAD, and GIS.
