Civil Engineering Designer

About CK Engineering

At CK Engineering, we design the places where people live, work, and gather neighborhoods, campuses, mixed‑use districts, logistics hubs, and civic spaces. Our land development teams combine sound engineering with creativity to deliver sites that are buildable, resilient, and community friendly.

If you’re a civil engineer who loves taking a site from idea to ribbon‑cutting, you’ll feel right at home here.

A Civil Engineering Designer plays a key role in shaping the technical backbone of our projects. You’ll create detailed plans and blueprints for site development, transportation infrastructure, and water systems using tools like AutoCAD and Civil 3D. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, architects, and construction partners to ensure that every design is accurate, efficient, and aligned with project goals.

• Impact You Can See: From first sketch to final walkthrough, your work shows up on the map.
• End-to-End Exposure: Entitlements, grading and drainage, utilities, roadway, stormwater, and construction support you’ll participate in (and learn) the full project life cycle.
• Right‑Sized Teams: Big‑project capability with a boutique feel. Expect a voice at the table, real autonomy, and direct client interactions.
• Growth Built In: Clear technical and leadership career tracks, mentorship, paid licensure support, and dedicated time for professional learning.

• Design & Drafting: Produce detailed design drawings, plans, and blueprints for grading, roadway, drainage, and utility projects.
• Software Proficiency: Use AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and other industry‑standard tools to create precise technical drawings.
• Site Analysis: Conduct site assessments, analyze survey data, and integrate findings into design solutions.
• Collaboration: Work with engineers, architects, and construction teams to ensure designs are feasible, coordinated, and compliant.
• Documentation: Prepare specifications, technical reports, and supporting project documentation.

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related field is the most common foundation.

• Proficiency with CAD tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D).
• Understanding of core civil engineering principles.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem‑solving abilities.

• Grow into Senior Civil Designer, Project Engineer, or Project Manager with experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE) licensure opens opportunities for leadership roles and complex project work.
