In this position, you'll play a key role in designing and preparing engineering documents for land development projects, with a strong focus on stormwater management, site development, and utility design.

+ Preparing grading plans, right-of-way improvements, and maintenance of traffic plans

+ Overseeing and mentoring design engineers and technicians, reviewing their work for accuracy and quality

+ Coordinating with clients, internal teams, agencies, and external consultants to keep projects moving smoothly

+ Contributing to site development efforts across K-12, commercial, and industrial projects

+ Preparing technical reports and clearly communicating project updates and expectations

What We're Looking For

+ 3-5+ years of civil engineering experience, ideally with 5-7 years using Civil 3D on land development projects

+ Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering

+ EIT or PE highly preferred

+ Strong technical background in grading, drainage, stormwater management, utilities, and roadway design

+

Experience with site development and land development projects

+ Comfortable writing engineering reports and managing project-related documentation

+ Strong communication skills and an organized, detail-oriented approach

+ Someone who can jump in quickly and contribute from day one

Additional Experience That Stands Out

+ Exposure to drainage design and analysis

+

Experience with traffic control (MOT) and right-of-way plans

+ background working with clients, agencies, and consultants

+ Interest in growing into more formal project management responsibilities over time
