Our client is seeking a seasoned Site Civil Engineering leader for a leadership role within a well-established, modern, and growing civil engineering practice. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys leading people, managing clients, and owning project outcomes, while remaining technically sharp.

You will oversee a team of 4–8 engineers, including a secondary team lead, and play a critical role in project execution, staff development, and client relationships.

• Participate in business development efforts, including proposals and public meetings
• Maintain strong relationships with contractors, municipalities, and reviewing agencies
• Foster team morale, engagement, and professional growth
• Primarily 2–5 acre single-user retail and commercial projects
• Mix of commercial, residential, and industrial/warehouse developments
• No single-family residential work
• Projects span multiple New Jersey counties and regulatory jurisdictions

• 6+ years of site civil engineering experience
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• Strong command of New Jersey site civil regulations, including NJDEP and local county approvals
• Experience with AutoCAD and Civil 3D (hands‑on production not required)
• Proven ability to lead teams and manage client relationships
