Civil Engineer

A 100% employee-owned engineering and architecture firm built around the southwest Virginia, east Tennessee, and southern West Virginia corridor. Eight offices, civil engineering, survey, transportation, structural and MEP, architecture, and designer-led design-build all under one roof. Every engineer at the firm is also an owner, which shapes how the practice runs day to day.

We're hiring a Civil Project Engineer to lead and design land development projects across the firm's footprint. The work spans private commercial and residential development, mixed-use, institutional sites, and public infrastructure, with strong relationships across local municipalities and developers in the corridor.

You’ll own projects from concept through construction administration. Site design, grading, drainage, stormwater management, utility coordination, and entrance and roadway design will all sit within your scope. You’ll work directly with clients, lead design teams, mentor junior engineers, and have a real say in how the work gets done.

This is a seller‑doer culture without silos between design and PM. You design, you run the project, you talk to the client, and you grow the work that interests you. No corporate matrix, no layers of approval, no being assigned to projects you’ve never seen the client on.
