  • Support project leadership in defining scope, schedules, and budgets
  • Participate in client meetings and presentations, communicating technical concepts clearly and confidently
  • Ensure all designs meet applicable codes, standards, and project requirements
  • Contribute to a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For Experience & Credentials
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering
  • 4+ years of experience in civil/site development engineering

    Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred
Technical Expertise
  • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D
  • Hands‑on experience with grading, drainage, utilities, and stormwater design

  • Skilled in performing and reviewing advanced engineering calculations
Leadership & Collaboration
  • Ability to lead project tasks and coordinate across multidisciplinary teams
  • Experience mentoring or reviewing work of junior staff
  • Strong communication skills for client interaction and presentations
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Leadership Opportunity:
    Play a key role in both project execution and team development
  • Project Variety:
    Work on a wide range of impactful land and site development projects
  • Career Growth:
    Clear path toward increasing responsibility and technical leadership
  • Collaborative Culture:
    Join a supportive team that values expertise, innovation, and mentorship
  • Flexibility:
    Hybrid work model (3 days in-office, 2 remote)
