This includes ad hoc consultations, technical evaluations, feasibility assessments, and informal guidance on infrastructure planning, small-scale site improvements, and regulatory challenges. • Project Administration Support City staff with administrative aspects of engineering projects, such as reviewing project scopes and budgets, coordinating between departments and contractors, attending project meetings, and providing technical documentation or recommendations to help guide project decision-making. • Planning, Design & Construction Oversight Assist in the planning and design of smaller in-house projects, ranging from conceptual layouts to full construction documents. Provide construction oversight, including site visits, submittal reviews, change order evaluations, and quality assurance to ensure work aligns with approved plans and specifications. • Engineering Reports & Surveys Prepare written engineering reports based on analyses of structural conditions, geotechnical evaluations, environmental factors, freshwater supply systems, and facility conditions. Deliver recommendations for infrastructure improvements, risk mitigation, and maintenance planning. Topographic and condition surveys may also be requested for small-scale sites. • Surveying Consultation Provide consulting and technical support on best practices for field surveying, including the use of RTK rover equipment.
