Job Description & How to Apply Below

At our 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you'll actually own a piece of every project you help deliver. We're looking for a Senior Professional Civil Engineer with over 10 years of experience who enjoys working on a diverse range of projects across the Transit and Transportation, Industrial, Higher Education, Commercial, and Municipal markets.

You'll work out of our Seattle, Washington office, leading multidisciplinary project teams, mentoring junior engineers, and partnering directly with clients from concept development through construction. One day you might be supporting a major transit facility improvement, the next you're designing site infrastructure for a renewable energy project, academic campus, industrial facility, or municipal development.

We follow a "seller-doer" approach, which means you'll collaborate with our Market Managers to strengthen client relationships while focusing on what you do best: delivering high-quality engineering solutions and leading successful projects. No pressure to be a full-time salesperson, just authentic client partnerships built through technical expertise and trusted service.

Hybrid Work Environment:

Tuesday - Thursday in office | Monday & Friday WFH

Required Qualifications:
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Washington or ability to obtain Washington licensure through reciprocity.
  • 10+ years of progressive technical design experience with site development projects including site layouts, site grading, roadway design, utility design, vehicular and/or pedestrian access, stormwater management, and site permitting.
  • Minimum of five years of progressive and successful experience managing projects; strong working knowledge of the project development process including coordination with other disciplines during design and construction.
  • Minimum of two years of business development experience demonstrated by a track record of securing new project opportunities.
  • Ability to apply effective written and verbal communication and presentation skills when developing proposals, negotiating project contracts, preparing technical reports, leading project team meetings, and delivering client presentations.
  • Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor, and develop less experienced professionals with an emphasis on technical design standards, quality control, and project management practices.
  • Experience working with regulatory agencies and knowledge of permit application processes involving local jurisdictions, WSDOT, transit agencies, FEMA, Ecology, and other state and local government entities.
  • Experience and understanding of AutoCAD Civil 3D used to develop site designs.
  • Flexibility for limited overnight travel to conduct on-site consultations, participate in project meetings, or attend business development and industry events.
  • Must possess a valid Driver's License with a clean driving record.

Qualifications:
  • Active professional registration or the ability to obtain registrations in additional states, with a preference for California, Minnesota, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

  • Experience supporting agencies such as Sound Transit, King County Metro, Community Transit, WSDOT, or local municipalities is preferred.
