Port Hadlock, WA - Wastewater Project
|DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING NEW!
This is a great opportunity for an Engineer who wants to be part of a team bringing a new wastewater treat-

management experience to use and learn new skills working with a team that already includes several experi-
enced engineers and an established consulting group. Great experience and unique career-building oppor-
tunity! Construction of the first sewer system in Port Hadlock will open up opportunities for multi-family
housing and commercial projects that are currently not possible. This is a very exciting time to join the project
team with the project currently in final design and headed for construction! Want to get an idea of what you
