Responsibilities

* Lead and assist in the design of civil engineering projects, including land development, site design, transportation improvements, roadway projects, stormwater management systems, and utility infrastructure.

* Prepare comprehensive engineering plans, specifications, and technical reports that meet applicable codes, standards, and client requirements.

* Perform advanced engineering calculations, including grading, drainage, stormwater, and utility design, as well as detailed cost estimates for civil projects.

* Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D and other design and modeling tools to develop accurate, constructible civil site and roadway designs.

* Coordinate project details with clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies to ensure timely approvals and compliance with local, state, and federal requirements.

* Support and participate in project planning, scheduling, and quality control processes to help deliver projects on time and within scope.

* Collaborate with internal team members, including drafters and other engineers, to produce complete, high-quality design packages.

* Prepare to mentor junior staff as your experience grows, providing guidance on design practices, drafting standards, and project workflows.

* Contribute to continuous improvement of design standards, templates, and workflows to enhance efficiency and quality across projects.

* Assist with or support permitting efforts by preparing design documentation and coordinating with agencies involved in municipal, transportation, and land development projects.

Essential Skills

* 3-5 years of civil engineering design experience in a consulting or professional services environment.

* Experience in civil engineering design, including land development, site design, civil site design, roadway design, grading, drainage, stormwater, wastewater, and municipal engineering.

* Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D for civil design, drafting, and preparation of construction documents.

* Experience with civil site layout, roadway geometry, and utility design in an engineering or drafting capacity.

* Ability to prepare engineering plans, specifications, and technical reports with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

* Ability to perform advanced engineering calculations and develop detailed cost estimates for civil infrastructure projects.

* Strong communication skills, including the ability to coordinate effectively with clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies.

* Demonstrated leadership potential and the ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously.

* Capability to participate in and support project planning, scheduling, and quality control processes.

* Fundamental understanding of local, state, and federal permitting processes for civil and land development projects.
