Senior Concrete Engineer, Kiewit Infrastructure Engineer

Senior Concrete Engineer, Kiewit Infrastructure Engineer

The Senior Concrete Engineer is a team member of Kiewit Infrastructure Engineering (KIE). This position's primary role is to provide support to construction operations, perform analysis, and design to Kiewit projects, including having a direct impact to other teams within the engineering district.

Project involvement of a Senior Concrete Engineer can be at any stage (Get Work or Build Work) of a project's life cycle. Get Work project tasks can include proposal development, Task Force participation, technical proposal design including alternative technical design concept (ATC), and proposal cost estimating support. Build Work project tasks can include Task Force participation, development of final designs including but not limited to concrete troubleshooting, development of project specifications, concrete mixes, testing procedures, preparations of thermal control plans, durability and service life engineering, construction engineering, and construction operations oversight.

Projects often rely on KIE technical resources, consultants, and/or subcontractors for staffing engineering related construction tasks. Typical project deliverables may include technical solutions, design reports, memorandums, and letters. These deliverables provide technical analysis, technical interpretations, and professional recommendations; all these project deliverables are subject to KIE's Design Quality Management Plan. Project deliverables may require field technical support with investigations and site visit observations during project construction.

Concrete Engineering is considered a "specialty" engineering service and as such has high visibility with Project upper management where high professionalism is always expected. Project related travel varies but it is projected to be approximately 25% and it can be anywhere in North America. Continued job related learning (Kiewit University, Professional Engineer Continued Education, personal professional development) is encouraged and expected.

This position is based out of our Westlake, TX office.

Responsibilities include reporting to the Chief Concrete Engineer in providing and managing concrete technical solutions, supporting with pre-bid evaluation, design constructability reviews, technical risk assessments and construction operations work planning, assisting in improving concrete quality and reducing concrete quality issues, collaborating in developing concrete related design requirements and specifications for construction, interpreting concrete materials properties and construction quality results including process control data, serving as field engineer during construction when interest and opportunities align, interpreting/learning/applying client specific design methodologies, specifications, and standards, developing and maintaining internal and external client relationships and construction partners, including project and non-project related face-to-face meetings.

Qualifications include a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering. A Master's degree with emphasis in concrete or related engineering field is preferred. Fifteen years of experience with a minimum of 10 years directly applicable to concrete is required. Active US PE is required. Ability to travel in North America (expected travel approximately 25%) is required. Proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite of products is required. Knowledgeable in concrete industry standards, such as ASTM, ACI and CSA is required. Experience with industry specific software analysis and design software with emphasis related to concrete mixture proportioning, theremal modeling, and service life analysis is required. Proficient written and verbal communication skills are required.
