Civil Engineer

Portland, OR

You’ll take the lead on civil projects that actually get built – from early concepts through construction administration.

Site development, stormwater, wastewater, potable water, transportation – you’ll touch the full spectrum and see the impact on the ground.

You’ll manage projects, guide younger engineers, and be the face of the firm to clients who count on you to deliver.

This is a role for a civil engineer who wants responsibility, variety, and a clear line of sight from design to ribbon-cutting.

If you’ve run civil projects from concept through construction and enjoy the consulting side, we want to talk to you.

You’ll support and manage a portfolio of civil engineering projects across public and private sectors, including:

• Site development projects
• Stormwater management systems
• Wastewater collection and treatment systems
• Potable water distribution systems
• Transportation-related civil improvements
• Regulatory permitting at local, state, and federal levels
• Construction-phase support and administration
• Multi-disciplinary coordination with internal design teams

You’ll leverage AutoCAD and common civil engineering design software to take projects from conceptual layouts to final construction documents.

Your challenge: balance technical quality, client expectations, schedules, and budgets – all at once.

• Managing civil engineering projects from initial design through construction administration
• Coordinating and supervising design team personnel and resources
• Interacting with clients and professionally representing the firm
• Monitoring and controlling active projects to keep them on schedule and within budget
• Mentoring and directing staff on technical assignments
• Reviewing technical work completed by engineers under your supervision
• Preparing and refining designs for site development, stormwater, wastewater, potable water, and transportation projects
• Navigating local, state, and federal regulatory permitting processes
• Using AutoCAD and common civil design software to produce plans and documents
• Traveling to project locations typically within a 200-mile radius
• Working with minimal supervision while keeping stakeholders informed

• B.S. degree in Civil Engineering
• 2 years of engineering experience
• EIT certification or ability to obtain within 6 months of hire
• Experience with engineering consulting
• Experience with local, state, and federal regulatory permitting processes
• Familiarity with AutoCAD software
• Familiarity with common civil engineering design software
• Excellent computer skills
• Strong organizational, written, and verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to deliver projects from conceptual design through construction
• Ability to work with minimal supervision

You’ve cut your teeth in civil consulting, supported or led projects that made it all the way to construction, and you’re ready to own more. You’re comfortable in front of clients, you enjoy mentoring junior staff, and you know how to juggle multiple deadlines without dropping quality.

The ideal fit is someone who can move fluidly from design software to job site, from internal coordination to permitting conversations, and who understands the full project lifecycle – not just a single slice of it.

High-signal experience: AutoCAD ● Civil engineering design software ● Site development ● Stormwater management ● Wastewater systems ● Potable water systems ● Transportation projects ● Regulatory permitting ● Project management ● Construction administration

You won’t be a tiny cog – you’ll manage real projects and see your work built in the Portland region and beyond.

You’ll get broad exposure across water, wastewater, stormwater, site, and transportation work instead of being pigeonholed into one narrow niche.

You’ll work with a team that values technical excellence and trusts you to operate with real autonomy once you’re up to speed.

Travel to project locations typically within a 200-mile radius is required.

EIT certification required or ability to obtain within 6 months of hire.

If you’re a civil engineer who wants to grow your project management chops and see your designs turned into real infrastructure, let’s get a conversation going.
