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.

This role requires regular communication, both verbal and written, with staff across Arcadis, clients, subcontractors, and other stakeholders, as well as preparing progress reports and participating in client meetings. Responsibilities include handling the conceptual to detailed design and preparation of contract documents for municipal, industrial, and remedial water/wastewater treatment units, as well as water/sewer force mains, sewer gravity mains, and pump stations. The position also involves interpreting flow monitoring data, conducting data management activities, and integrating GIS for modeling. Candidates will analyze data and develop recommendations for infrastructure renewal, plan and implement renewal projects, and engage in field activities such as construction inspection, inflow and infiltration studies, sampling, asset inventory, and condition assessment, which may include confined space entry, subcontractor oversight, and flow monitoring setup.
