Associate / Civil Structural Engineer

Summary

Power Supply Engineering Services provided technical engineering support to PGE's generation facilities. Civil Engineering ensures that capital projects, support of plant maintenance, and compliance work supports safe, efficient, and reliable power generation. Projects in support of the generation facilities will touch all disciplines in civil engineering and may include civil, structural, geotechnical, and water resource designs.

A Civil Engineer will apply engineering design and analysis skills to a wide variety of challenging projects. Typical project work would be task focused in support of larger multi-disciplinary projects as well as design management of more defined scopes of work. This position provides the opportunity to develop professional engineering skills with a combination of in-field and office work delivering results from conception to commissioning project lifecycles. Creativity, communication, and collaboration are key when working on state of the art and first of its kind projects.

1 Position available to be filled at either Civil Engineering (p2) or Associate Civil Engineering (p1) level. See determining qualifications below.
