Land Development Senior Civil Engineer

We're growing our Land Development team in Kansas City and looking for a Senior Civil Engineer to help lead our projects and the people working on them.

This role is for an engineer who loves the work: solving site challenges, getting the details right, and seeing a project go from concept to built. You'll have real ownership of your projects and a hand in developing the engineers around you. If you're thinking about team leadership down the road, there's a path here for that too.

You'll lead land development projects from early planning through construction, working directly with clients, municipalities, and our internal teams. Along the way, you'll:

• Lead site design for commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments, including grading, drainage, utilities, and stormwater
• Own construction documents from first sketch to final set
• Guide projects through permitting and municipal approvals
• Support projects during construction and solve issues as they come up in the field
• Mentor and review the work of engineers earlier in their careers
• Build relationships with clients who come back to work with us again

• [6+] years of land development or site civil experience
• PE license (or the ability to obtain one in Kansas or Missouri within [X months])
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from ABET accredited program
• Strong working knowledge of site design, grading, drainage, and utility design
• Experience taking projects through municipal review and permitting in the Kansas City area
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or Civil 3D
• A sense of ownership: you care about the work, your team, and your clients

• At OWN, ownership means something. We’re 100% employee-owned, equitably, and we help our OWNers understand how the business performs, how their work impacts it, and how that connects to the value they’re building.
• Trust and autonomy. You’re empowered to make decisions and take ownership of your work without unnecessary layers.
• Room to make an impact. Your ideas are heard, and you’ll have a real say in how your team works, improves, and grows.
• Flexibility that’s real. The freedom to be a professional. The freedom to be a person.
• People you actually enjoy working with. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. Good people, low egos, plenty of laughs along the way.

We take care of the people who take care of the work. That includes:

• Employee ownership (ESOP) at no cost to you
• 401(k) with a 3% company contribution
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 16 days of PTO plus 8 paid holidays, growing with tenure
• Paid parental leave
• Company-paid life and disability insurance
• Training and leadership development programs
