The Utilities Engineer Coordination and Interface Management is responsible for the identification coordination and resolution of interfaces between the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project and existing utility infrastructure utility owners and municipalities.

The role includes managing utility-related data including Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) information across all quality levels (Quality Levels (QL-D to QL-A)) Geographic Information System (GIS) data legacy records and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models.

The position requires coordinating with stakeholders to define conflict resolution strategies and ensuring that third-party designs are developed reviewed and implemented in accordance with agreed requirements schedule and project constraints.

It covers both:

The engineering of existing conditions (data collection validation and constraint identification);

The engineering of proposed solutions through coordination with stakeholders to define challenge agree upon and validate utility conflict resolution strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead coordination with utility owners municipalities and third parties

Capture validate and track stakeholder requirements and constraints

Oversee collection validation and integration of utility data (SUE QL-D to QL-A GIS legacy records)
