  • Work closely with other disciplines on multi-discipline projects.
  • Independently create and manage CAD designs and production of design drawings.
  • Attend project meetings both internally and with clients.
  • May act as liaison with client, contractors, or others directly on a variety of projects, assisting with required coordination and problem solving between all parties and site activities.
  • Assist Project Manager with project costs by managing the budget, invoicing, and reporting of projects for both internal and client needs.
  • Participate in networking events to support business development, talent outreach, and foster new relationships.
  • Other assignments as needed.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field
  • At least 3 years of experience in transportation, infrastructure, and/or municipal civil design with increased technical and management responsibilities over time
  • EIT and/or PE preferred, and actively working toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure
  • Familiarity with local agencies including Illinois municipalities, IDOT, Will/Cook/DuPage County, and regulatory permitting agencies
  • Working knowledge of Micro Station and Geopak, or similar tools like AutoCAD Civil 3D or Open Roads Designer
