What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Project Engineer position at Civiltec Engineering, Inc?
This isn’t your typical Project Engineer role.
About 80% of your time will be hands-on engineering and project delivery, with the other 20% focused on project management and client coordination. You’ll stay close to the technical work while using your experience to lead projects, mentor others, and build strong client relationships.
Civiltec Engineering is seeking an experienced Professional Engineer to provide senior-level technical leadership for civil infrastructure projects throughout Arizona. Projects may include water, utilities, natural gas pipelines, municipal infrastructure, drainage, site development, and general civil engineering.
A Little About Us
We take our work seriously, but we don’t always take ourselves too seriously. We’re a collaborative, people-focused team that values good engineering, strong relationships, and having a little fun along the way. We believe experienced engineers should have a voice, room to make decisions, and the opportunity to make an impact. And with our 9/80 schedule, you’ll have every other Friday to enjoy life outside of work.
