We are seeking an experienced civil engineer to serve as a strong technical producer on our site development team. The ideal candidate is a proficient AutoCAD Civil 3D user who can independently take site development projects from concept through permitting and construction documents, with a working knowledge of MADEP and NHDES stormwater regulations. This role is heavy on production and design — client interaction and project coordination duties are present and will grow with experience.

Primary Duties:

A thorough understanding of the core Civil 3D utilities — including styles, labels, surfaces, parcels, alignments, profiles, corridors, and sections — and the ability to use these utilities to independently produce site development plans.
• Preparation of stormwater drainage designs to comply with MADEP and NHDES stormwater regulations, including hydrologic and hydraulic modeling using HydroCAD.
• Preparation of grading, utility, and erosion control designs.
• Preparation of permit application materials and supporting documentation for local, state, and federal permitting agencies.

Secondary Duties:

• General office management and coordination, including coordination with surveyors, landscape architects, environmental consultants, and other sub-consultants.
• Attending client meetings and local land use board hearings (Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, Conservation Commission) in support of project managers.
• Mentoring entry-level engineering staff and reviewing their work product.

Ideal Experience:

• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
• 3–5 years of experience performing similar duties.
• EIT certification required; PE licensure (MA and/or NH) preferred, or actively progressing toward it.
• Demonstrated proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, including the core utilities listed above.
• Demonstrated proficiency in HydroCAD and a working knowledge of MADEP and NHDES stormwater regulations.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage workload across multiple concurrent projects and meet deadlines with limited supervision.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• Company matched IRA retirement plan.
• Health, Dental & Vision insurance.
• Paid Vacation and Holidays.
• Flexible work schedules.
• Support for continued professional development and PE licensure.
