SCS Engineers is seeking a licensed Senior Civil Engineer / Orlando Office Leader to lead, develop, and expand its growing Orlando-area operation.

This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished civil or environmental engineer who wants to take the next meaningful step into office leadership—or for an experienced office, department, or practice leader who wants greater autonomy, visibility, and long-term growth potential within a nationally recognized, 100% employee-owned organization.

The Orlando office currently consists of three employees
, giving the selected leader an immediate opportunity to shape the office’s future. This person will establish the local culture, mentor and develop employees, strengthen project delivery, expand client relationships, recruit additional talent, and build the office into a larger multidisciplinary operation serving Central Florida.

This is not a purely administrative position. Approximately 50% of the role will remain focused on technical production and project delivery
, with the remaining 50% dedicated to leadership, client development, staff management, operational oversight, and strategic growth.

The ideal candidate is a technically credible, client-oriented Professional Engineer who enjoys both engineering and leadership. Candidates do not need to have previously held the title of Office Leader. SCS is open to an established Senior Project Manager, Project Director, Department Manager, Practice Leader, or Senior Civil Engineer who is ready to move into a broader leadership role.

This position offers the chance to lead a small office with the backing, resources, technical specialists, and project history of a well-established national firm.

The selected candidate will have the opportunity to:

• Lead and expand an existing three-person Orlando office.
• Influence local hiring, market strategy, client development, and office culture.
• Continue performing meaningful technical work instead of moving completely away from engineering.
• Build a team around their technical strengths, client relationships, and vision.
• Access company wide environmental, civil, geotechnical, solid waste, energy, and regulatory specialists.
• Work with public- and private-sector clients throughout Central and South Florida.
• Participate in the financial success of a 100% employee-owned company.
• Pursue a defined pathway toward broader regional and executive leadership.
• Relocate to Central Florida with company-supported relocation assistance.
