• Oversee the planning, design, and delivery of site civil engineering projects, ensuring technical accuracy and consistency.
• Mentor and develop engineers and designers through coaching, feedback, and technical oversight.
• Coordinate with Survey, GIS, and Permitting departments to align data, standards, and deliverables for integrated project execution.
• Review design work for quality and compliance, including grading, drainage, roadway, and utility design.
• Support project estimating, proposals, and business development efforts in partnership with Project Managers and senior leadership.
• Participate in client meetings and represent Ascent as a technical leader in energy and infrastructure design.

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and Professional Engineer (PE) licensure (multi‑state licensure preferred).
• 10+ years of progressive civil engineering experience in site design, grading, drainage, and utilities for energy or infrastructure projects.
• 3–5 years of leadership experience managing engineers, designers, or technical staff.
• Strong understanding of civil engineering principles and standards, with demonstrated ability to apply them across energy, oil and gas, and renewable project environments.
• Demonstrated ability to manage schedules, budgets, and departmental performance goals.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D and familiarity with hydrologic and hydraulic modeling tools (HEC‑RAS, HEC‑HMS, SWMM, Hydraflow, etc.).
• Knowledge of national civil and stormwater design standards (FHWA, AASHTO, FEMA, EPA) and adaptability to multi‑state regulatory environments.
• Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills, with a collaborative mindset.

• A small, non‑bureaucratic company culture built on adaptability, accountability, and collaboration.
• The opportunity to lead a growing, mid‑sized engineering team that works closely with Survey, GIS, and Permitting to deliver integrated solutions.
• Remote‑first flexibility with collaboration across continental U.S. time zones (Mountain Standard or Central Time preferred).
• Opportunities to work on diverse energy and renewable projects shaping the future of energy infrastructure.
• Close collaboration with Ascent’s executive and technical leadership teams.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Travel limited to client offices, project sites, and occasional in‑person meetings (approximately 5%).
