Civil Engineer in Training (EIT) / Early-Career Civil Engineer

Looking to accelerate your civil engineering career? Join a small, collaborative engineering and surveying firm where you'll gain hands-on experience across all phases of site development projects while working directly with experienced engineers and surveyors. In this role, you'll support a variety of civil site and land development projects including parks, municipal facilities, public spaces, stormwater infrastructure, and other community-focused developments.

You'll use Civil 3D to create grading, drainage, utility, and erosion-control designs while receiving direct mentorship and exposure to permitting, agency coordination, and construction support.

• Support small to mid-sized site development and land development projects.
• Design and prepare grading, drainage, utility, stormwater, and erosion-control plans using Civil 3D.
• Develop engineering calculations related to grading, drainage, stormwater, and utility design.
• Create and revise coordinated construction plan sets utilizing survey, topographic, and utility information.
• Prepare permit applications, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimates.
• Review drawings and calculations for accuracy, constructability, and coordination.
• Maintain project documentation, records, and design assumptions.
• Coordinate with engineers, surveyors, landscape architects, agencies, and consultants.
• Manage project deadlines and communicate potential risks or schedule impacts.
• Participate in site visits and construction observation activities.
• Incorporate feedback from project reviews and agency comments into final deliverables.

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
• 2-5 years of civil engineering experience focused on site development or land development projects.
• Strong Civil 3D design experience with the ability to work independently.
• Understanding of grading, drainage, stormwater, utility design, and erosion control.
• Ability to interpret survey, topographic, and utility information to develop complete plan sets.
• Experience preparing construction drawings, engineering calculations, and design revisions.
• EIT certification preferred with progress toward PE licensure; early-career PEs also encouraged to apply.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Willingness to conduct site visits and construction observations.
• U.S. work authorization required. Sponsorship is not available.

• Parks, municipal, public-space, or stormwater projects.
• Land development and site-civil engineering projects.
• Erosion-control planning and documentation.
• Permitting, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimating.
• Carlson software experience.
• Interest in continued professional growth and PE licensure.

• Direct mentorship from senior engineering professionals.
• Broad project exposure rather than a highly specialized role.
• Opportunity to work on diverse site development projects from concept through construction.
• Close-knit, principal-led team environment with significant responsibility and visibility.
• Clear path for professional growth and development.
• Primarily in-office St. Louis team with potential flexibility for hybrid work when appropriate.
