Haskell’s opening for a Senior Civil Engineer in its private facilities design group offers teamwork, travel, professional challenges and involvement in projects from concept to completion.

The Civil team of 15 is expanding to meet customer demand for facilities that manufacture and store just about everything sold at Walmart and Target, whether it’s consumer products, food or alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.

The projects are large and complex, and they stretch from coast to coast.

“That's the exciting and challenging part of it because, with projects across the country, we are faced with constantly changing requirements,” Lead Civil Engineer Josh Hough said. “It’s a lot of fun. You're constantly learning something new. You're not always just doing a Florida project. You're working in New York, where you're dealing with frost depths and stringent stormwater requirements, and you may go to California, so now you're dealing with seismic considerations. There are different projects and different requirements at each one.”

Each project is unique, and regulations vary by geography. However, teamwork is a constant.

“The best part about Haskell, first of all, is the people,” Hough said. “The 15 that we have are a really dynamic group that gets into civil engineering design deeper than any other group I've ever seen. We're getting into the real detailed ideas of geometric layout. We’re putting so much more thought into our site development. And just on the geometry sides, we're, we're really allowing our teams to dig deep into it, and then come up with creative ways to best meet the client's needs.”

That same level of collaboration exists across the disciplines and extends to virtually every aspect of each project. As a leader in integrated design-build delivery, Haskell has virtually every architecture and engineering discipline in-house. What’s more, construction professionals take part in project design, and designers stay involved through project completion.

It’s common for Civil team members to visit job sites once or twice a month.

“At the beginning of a project, what we do is similar to any other engineering position,” he said. “You're meeting with municipalities and agencies, doing pre-apps and all the permitting. That's very similar to what most engineers are doing. Once you’re through design and get into construction, that's when it’s different. A lot of engineers hand off the design and don't get to see it completed. Here at Haskell, we’re in the preconstruction meetings to make sure they understand what we're looking for. Then we

go out there and work with our construction teams.

“We’re involved through the whole process. There's some travel involved, but you're getting to see what you designed and put on paper actually built in the field.”

In addition to providing a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment, Haskell operates with the direction of six strategic pillars, the first of which is to “Provide Team Members the BEST Job of Their Lives.” It offers a robust benefits package that includes a 401k match and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which creates stock ownership for every full-time team member.
