Sr Civil SWPPP Engineer

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Oversee all civil SWPPP engineering efforts to ensure warranty claims are resolved on time, comply with client and regulatory requirements, meet quality standards, and align with budget and constructability expectations
• Serve as Signal’s lead authority on SWPPP compliance and performance and own all SWPPP warranty and O&M erosion-related issues across operational projects
• Evaluate post-construction erosion, sediment control failures, and drainage deficiencies and develop corrective action plans that are constructable, cost-effective, and compliant
• Conduct site investigations and forensic evaluations of erosion and drainage issues to identify root causes (grading, hydrology, soil conditions, installation, maintenance, etc.)
• Provide clear field direction to Operations teams for execution
• Collaborate with EORs to align on design intent vs. field performance gaps
• Review civil design packages to ensure SWPPP constructability and long-term performance
• Develop and standardize SWPPP best practices, details, and specifications
• Collaborate with other engineering disciplines to ensure seamless integration
