- Salary repeated.
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide what goes where.
- About the role: could be the introductory paragraph about the role (first paragraph). Also maybe "Who We Are" could be part of About the role? But we have separate sections.
- Responsibilities: list of duties: develop designs, assist with construction support for dam removals, embankment dam repairs, fish passage facilities, recreation facilities, renewable energy projects, stream restorations. Also site visits, field data collection, engineering calculations, design using CAD, spatial analysis/GIS, review/application of hydraulic modeling results, technical writing of specs, reports, presentation slides, construction observation. Also collaborating with scientists, data analysts, engineers, licensing experts. Also leading multidisciplinary teams, mentoring junior staff, performing technical quality reviews, managing project scope, schedule, budget. Also serving as task lead/project engineer coordinating design development, technical quality, delivery. Also development and technical review of construction drawings, notes, typical details, specifications, material schedules, quantity takeoffs. Also preparing existing conditions basemaps from publicly available datasets. Also leading hydrologic/hydraulic evaluations using modeling platforms. Also familiarity with BIM workflows, model coordination using Revit. Also working knowledge of CSI-format specs, construction documentation. Also familiarity with AACE cost estimation methodologies, OPCC. Also project management experience. Also willingness to travel, valid driver's license. Also permanent authorization to work in US.
But many of these are qualifications/skills. We need to separate.
Typically:
- Responsibilities: what you will do on the job.
- Requirements: mandatory qualifications (education, experience, licensure, etc.)
- Qualifications: maybe preferred qualifications.
- Skills: technical skills (software, tools).
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: hybrid, 2-3 days in office.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So if we have content for a section, include it.
Let's extract.
About the role: The first paragraph: "Kleinschmidt has a full-time opening for a Senior level Civil Engineer to work with a multi-disciplinary team to develop designs and assist with construction support for dam removals, embankment dam repairs, fish passage facilities, recreation facilities, renewable energy projects, and stream restorations. Multiple office locations in the United States would be considered (including Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Pittsfield, Maine; Falmouth, Maine; and Madison, Wisconsin). Our flexibility and core value of relationships allow us to offer employees the opportunity to work in a hybrid environment including working from the office and remotely. This position prefers to come into the office 2-3 days a week."
That seems appropriate for About the role.
Responsibilities: The "About The Position" paragraph describes responsibilities: work directly with senior staff on all stages of project delivery from conceptual designs to issued for bid construction drawings. Project work will require close collaboration with scientists, data analysts, engineers, and licensing experts to develop innovative solutions that support renewable energy projects. Through these projects you will gain specialized expertise related to civil site design, hydraulic fish passage, slope and embankment protection, and stream channel design for dam decommissioning, fish passage barrier correction, and embankment dam protection. The scope and scale of projects at Kleinschmidt will engage your curiosity and facilitate professional growth. Project work will include site visits, field data collection, engineering calculations and analysis, design using CAD programs, spatial analysis or data processing in GIS, review and application of hydraulic modeling results, technical writing of specifications, reports and presentation slides, and construction observation.
Also maybe the bullet list of duties from earlier: "Develop designs and assist with construction support for dam removals, embankment dam repairs, fish passage facilities, recreation facilities, renewable energy projects, and stream restorations." That's also responsibility.
We'll combine.
Requirements: Required Qualifications list (the ones under "Required Qualifications").
- BS in Civil Engineering or related field
- Development and technical review of construction drawings, notes, typical details, specifications, material schedules, and quantity takeoffs.
- Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, including alignments, profiles, corridors, grading design, earthwork modeling, and preparation of existing conditions basemaps from publicly available datasets.
- Prior experience with civil site development for roadways and drainage, land development, dam decommissioning or removal, stream restoration, and/or fish passage engineering
- Experience serving as a task lead or project engineer responsible for coordinating design development, technical quality, and delivery of engineering projects.
- Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering teams, mentor junior staff, perform technical quality reviews, and manage project scope, schedule, and budget.
- Professional Engineer (PE)
Also Additional Requirements: Must possess permanent authorization to work in the United States; Must be willing to travel and possess a valid driver's license.
We could include those under Requirements as well.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list.
- 10+ years of progressively responsible civil engineering practice, including project leadership and client-facing responsibilities.
- Project Management Experience
- Working knowledge of CSI-format specifications and construction documentation.
- Familiarity with AACE cost estimation methodologies, including development of Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC).
- Demonstrated ability to lead hydrologic and hydraulic evaluations using HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, SRH-2D, HydroCAD, or similar modeling platforms.
- Familiarity with BIM workflows and model coordination using Autodesk Revit.
Skills: Could be technical skills like AutoCAD Civil 3D, GIS, hydraulic modeling, BIM/Revit, CSI specs, AACE cost estimation, etc. But many of those appear in qualifications. Might be redundant. Perhaps we can put software/tools under Skills: AutoCAD Civil 3D, GIS, HEC-RAS/HEC-HMS/SRH-2D/HydroCAD, Autodesk Revit, etc. Also maybe "development and technical review of construction drawings" is a skill.
But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But we have headings defined; we must use them if we have content. We could decide to not include Skills if content overlaps heavily with Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. If we think Skills content is covered elsewhere, we could omit Skills section. However, we might still have distinct skills like "AutoCAD Civil 3D", "GIS", "HEC-RAS", "HEC-HMS", "SRH-2D", "HydroCAD", "Autodesk Revit", "CSI-format specifications", "AACE cost estimation". Those are specific. Could put them under Skills.
But then Qualifications would be more about experience/education/licensure. That seems reasonable.
Thus:
- About the role: intro paragraph.
- Responsibilities: duties list (including the "About The Position" paragraph and maybe the initial duty sentence).
- Requirements: mandatory: BS, PE, experience items, authorization, travel, driver's license.
- Qualifications: preferred: 10+ years, project management, CSI specs, AACE cost estimation, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, BIM/Revit.
- Skills: technical proficiencies: AutoCAD Civil 3D, GIS, hydraulic modeling platforms (HEC-RAS etc), Revit, maybe also "development and technical review of construction drawings" but that's more a duty.
- Benefits: list.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: hybrid, 2-3 days in office.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Salary is given.
