Job Description

Woodard & Curran is a national engineering, science, and operations firm with a simple vision for clean water, a safe environment, healthy communities, and happy people. As an employee-owned company, we strive to cultivate teams that encourage collaboration in an inclusive culture. We seek talented individuals from all backgrounds to help us address a broad range of water and environmental issues. We prioritize our people, offering opportunities for professional growth, ownership, and flexibility. This commitment enables us to make a meaningful impact on our clients, communities, and the planet.

Woodard & Curran is seeking a dynamic, client-focused SCADA Controls Automation Project Engineer to join our Water Team, supporting projects across the New England Region, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. In this role, you’ll collaborate with municipal clients to develop, implement, and manage a variety of water, wastewater, remediation, and some industrial projects, with a focus on automation and control systems.

You’ll lead projects from planning through completion, supported by a team of project managers, technical managers, engineers, and operations staff to ensure delivery within scope, schedule, and budget. Regular client interaction is key—you’ll serve as a trusted advisor, keeping them and our project managers informed on project status and identifying future opportunities to enhance their operations.

This position involves regular travel to job sites (typically within driving distance) to oversee and lead SCADA project startups, lead preconstruction and kickoff meetings, and maintain strong client relationships throughout the project lifecycle.

Who are we looking for:

The successful candidate will join a strong team of motivated individuals to execute projects for our municipal, industrial water, and wastewater clients. The candidate will serve as the lead for medium to large-scale implementation projects, which may be standalone or multidisciplinary SCADA projects. It is critical for the candidate to understand and meet project requirements while working within the project’s scope, schedule, and budget constraints. Because the candidate will interface with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, they must possess strong communication and technical skills. Additionally, the successful candidate will mentor junior staff and contribute to initiatives that enhance performance and efficiency.

Offering Flexible Hybrid Work Schedule

Travel: Regional travel up to 80%. Occasional overnight travel.
