Job Description
AECOM is seeking a highly motivated Civil Underground Utility Design Engineer to support the planning, design, coordination, and implementation of underground utility infrastructure projects. This role is primarily a civil engineering position focused on underground pathway design, utility corridors, duct banks, utility crossings, and associated civil infrastructure. The successful candidate will have practical experience developing buildable underground utility designs for electric, water, wastewater, telecommunications, or other buried infrastructure systems. Telecommunications experience is helpful, but not required. The strongest fit is a civil design professional with hands-on experience creating underground pathway layouts, reviewing plan-and-profile drawings, coordinating utility conflicts, and supporting permitting and construction delivery. This position requires strong proficiency with Autodesk Civil 3D for developing, reviewing, and validating engineering design packages throughout the project lifecycle. A Professional Engineer (PE) license is preferred. This is a fully remote position requiring collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams, utility owners, permitting agencies, municipalities, transportation agencies, and construction personnel across multiple geographic regions. The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to: Underground Utility Infrastructure Design Develop and review civil engineering designs for underground utility systems and utility corridor projects. Design underground pathways, duct banks, trenches, utility crossings, access structures, conduit systems, and related civil infrastructure. Evaluate utility routes and develop buildable alignments for greenfield and brownfield projects. Incorporate utility conflicts, right-of-way constraints, environmental considerations, agency requirements, and permitting conditions into design solutions. Prepare construction drawings, plan-and-profile sheets, details, specifications, exhibits, and permit packages. Support utility relocation planning, pathway optimization, and coordination between proposed and existing infrastructure. Civil 3D Design and Engineering Modeling Use Autodesk Civil 3D to develop and review alignments, profiles, surfaces, corridors, grading, utility layouts, and civil design models. Generate and validate plan-and-profile drawings, utility exhibits, quantity takeoffs, design calculations, and project deliverables. Analyze conflicts between proposed underground utility pathways and existing subsurface or above-ground infrastructure. Integrate survey data, GIS information, LiDAR, utility records, as-builts,
