Are you driven by the opportunity to improve essential infrastructure and make a lasting impact on your community? The Wastewater management team in the department is seeking a skilled and passionate engineer to lead the county's Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement Program. This industry leading program plays a critical role in addressing development-driven capacity challenges and ensuring Fairfax County wastewater system can support the needs of the future.

The county requires developers to upgrade sewer which does not have capacity for new development. These upgrades will not only meet the needs of the proposed development but also be sized to accommodate future growth anticipated in the county's Comprehensive Plan. The Reimbursement Program establishes a fair and transparent process for reimbursing developers for a portion of costs when the new infrastructure supports the needs of the community beyond the proposed development. Under supervision of the Engineer V, this position allows you to take the lead on a dynamic and impactful program, guiding the entire reimbursement process from agreement development to construction monitoring and project closeout.

Responsibilities include:

• Monitoring and reporting on the status of developer-led projects from rezoning through construction.
• Serving as a point of contact for developers as they navigate the county's development process.
• Responsible for reviewing reimbursement documentation including formal agreements and reimbursement requests during construction.

• Leading the refinement of templates, agreements, processes, and tracking procedures in support of the reimbursement program.
• Tracking reimbursement program annual spending and projecting future reimbursement cashflow.
• Performing other related tasks as assigned, including engineering or project management support on county master planning efforts.

• Proven accountability in managing complex processes or projects, consistently delivering accurate work and meeting commitments with minimal oversight.
• Strong communication skills, including the ability to convey technical information clearly, facilitate productive discussions, and provide timely, professional responses to stakeholders and senior management.
• Demonstrated skill in building and maintaining collaborative partnerships with internal staff, external agencies, developers, engineers, and community members.
