Civil Engineer | Regional Lead

Civil Engineer Regional Lead

Cushing Terrell is seeking a Civil Engineer Regional Lead based in Billings, MT. The role exists to grow Cushing Terrell's civil engineering presence in the Billings market, and the person who fills it will have the opportunity to build an in-office team where one does not yet exist. Our Billings office already includes architecture and engineering disciplines, providing a built-in foundation for collaboration and internal project referrals from day one.

This role will be a part of and supported by the Civil Engineering Service Sector across the firm. Day to day, this person is developing client relationships, pursuing and winning civil engineering work from internal and external stakeholders, and delivering projects across land development, transportation, and municipal engineering. A strong first year looks like active projects in delivery, first hires made, and a growing reputation in the Billings market as the civil engineering practice to call.

The autonomy to shape what this team becomes is real, and so is the backing of a 500-person multidisciplinary firm with established relationships across the region and nationally.

Relocation assistance is considered for the right candidate.

The expected salary range for this position is $90,000 to $120,000 annually.
