Marketing Coordinator

Ciorba Group is looking for a creative and technically versatile Marketing Coordinator / Graphic Designer who can bridge the worlds of marketing communications and engineering visualization. This unique dual-function role sits within the Marketing Group while also collaborating directly with our technical engineering teams to produce high-quality renderings and visual content for both proposals and active projects.

You'd be joining Ciorba Group at a pivotal moment, our Chicago office is the engine of a nearly 100-year-old firm that's expanding its footprint across Illinois and deepening relationships with IDOT, the Illinois Tollway, CDOT, and municipalities throughout the region. This is where our largest, most complex infrastructure pursuits are managed, and where career trajectories move fast for the right people.

Our office is conveniently located near the I-90/Cumberland interchange on Chicago's Northwest Side, offering easy access for commuters throughout the region. For those using public transit, the office is just a short walk from the Cumberland Station on the CTA Blue Line, providing a direct connection to/from downtown Chicago.

Ciorba Group is an employee-owned (ESOP) engineering firm with offices in Chicago, Peoria, and Crown Point. We partner with DOTs, counties, and municipalities on roadway, structural, water resources, electrical and lighting, and construction engineering projects that improve communities across the Midwest. We're people-first, collaborative, and built for the long haul, just like the infrastructure we design.

If you have a passion for design, an interest in infrastructure and the built environment, and the skills to bring engineering concepts to life visually, this role was built for you.
