The City of Worcester is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Junior Civil Engineer, Grade 3 for the Water Operations Division within the Department of Public Works. Under the direction of the Assistant Director of Water Operations, the Junior Civil Engineer, Grade 3 will perform a wide array of entry level technical and professional engineering work in the office and in the field. Engineering duties will include tasks associated with construction, repair, and rehabilitation of the City’s water distribution system. This position will review plans and applications for construction projects and will be assigned to conduct resident engineering oversight on public and private construction projects.

This role may be required to supervise small groups of sub-professional assistants when needed. Successful candidates will interact regularly with contractors, consultants, and the public.
Work will be supported and reviewed by experienced supervisors and senior engineers, creating a strong learning environment where you can sharpen your technical skills, expand your professional knowledge, and build a rewarding career.
