Civil Engineer

The Civil Engineer will design and prepare engineering documents for land development and related infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on stormwater management, grading, utilities, and site design. This role combines hands-on technical design work with coordination across internal teams, external consultants, and public agencies. The position offers exposure to diverse projects, including K–12, light commercial, and industrial developments, and provides a clear path toward project management responsibilities.

• Design and prepare engineering documents for specific design components of land development and infrastructure projects.
• Develop stormwater management designs, including Environmental Site Design (ESD) and structural stormwater solutions.
• Prepare sediment and erosion control plans in compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
• Design storm drain systems and perform associated hydraulic and hydrologic computations.
• Complete water and sewer designs in accordance with local utility standards, including WSSC water and sewer design requirements.
• Prepare grade establishment plans, ensuring appropriate grading, drainage, and constructability across project sites.
• Develop right-of-way improvement plans, including roadway, streetscape, and utility improvements.
• Create and refine maintenance of traffic plans to support safe and efficient construction phasing and traffic control.
• Manage standard to routine design tasks, including running engineering reports and performing technical calculations.
• Work independently on assigned tasks to deliver accurate, timely, and high-quality design outputs.
• Supervise, coordinate, and review the work of Design Engineers and Technicians to ensure consistency, accuracy, and adherence to project standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less experienced team members in civil design and software tools.
• Coordinate project efforts with clients, regulatory agencies, internal departments, and external consultants.
• Contribute to engineering reports, technical memoranda, and project documentation.
• Support project engineering activities, including design iterations, quality checks, and responses to review comments.
• Engage in site design, grading, drainage, and utility layout for K–12, light commercial, and industrial projects.
• Participate in internal meetings and cross-office collaboration to align design efforts and project objectives.
• Demonstrate initiative by taking ownership of tasks from day one and proactively identifying design issues and solutions.
• Develop professional skills and experience with an eye toward future project management responsibilities.

• Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Civil Engineering.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in civil engineering, preferably with a focus on land development projects.
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience using AutoCAD Civil 3D on land development, water resources, or transportation projects.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D for site design, grading, and utility layout.
• Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite for reports, calculations, and documentation.
• Technical proficiency in roadway and street design, including alignment, grading, and associated improvements.
• Strong skills in grading design for site development projects.
• Experience in stormwater management design, including ESD and structural stormwater solutions.
• Experience in erosion and sediment control design in accordance with applicable standards.
• Experience in stormwater and drainage design, including storm drain layout and related computations.
• Experience in water distribution system design, including preparation of water plans and profiles.
• Experience in sanitary sewer design, including layout, grading, and hydraulic considerations.
• Ability to run engineering reports and perform technical calculations accurately and efficiently.
• Strong written communication skills for report writing and documentation.
• Strong verbal communication skills for coordination with clients, agencies, and internal teams.
• Detail-oriented approach with strong organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
