BC has well established projects throughout Utah and also has projects throughout Arizona and New Mexico as part of ongoing work with the Navajo Nation. This candidate will work closely with the team in Utah to support the Navajo Nation and other related water and wastewater projects. This opportunity will require periodic travel to remote locations in Arizona and will require close interaction with the BC team in Salt Lake City.
