About this role

Trilon Group (operating as Horrocks) is seeking a Senior Professional Engineer to lead drainage design work on major transportation infrastructure projects across the region. You'll direct hydrology and hydraulic design efforts for DOT projects including bridges, roadways, and highways, preparing technical studies, plans, and cost estimates while managing project scope, schedule, and budget.

The position requires a PE license and 8–12 years of hands-on hydraulics design experience, particularly with roadway drainage, flood control, and stormwater treatment facilities. You'll need proficiency in industry-standard software (MicroStation, OpenRoads Designer, StormCAD, HEC-RAS, and related tools) and solid working knowledge of DOT, AASHTO, and FHWA standards. Experience managing technical staff and juggling concurrent projects is valued, as is an established track record with transportation or flood control agencies.

The role is based in Taylorsville, Utah and requires in-office presence. Compensation ranges from $120,000 to $155,000, with a distinctive comp time policy that lets you bank overtime as additional PTO.
