What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Civil Engineer position at Lutz?
*Only the most qualified candidates will be contacted
If you’ve ever wanted to lead, shape, and grow an office from the ground up—while still rolling up your sleeves to deliver high-impact projects—this is your shot. Our client’s fully integrated approach brings surveying, engineering, and construction under one roof, so you’ll have the unique advantage of seeing your designs come to life without the delays and disconnects of traditional handoffs.
What You’ll Do
- Take the helm of their new Sioux Falls office—launch, lead, and set the standard for excellence in the region.
- Oversee civil infrastructure projects, especially in wastewater treatment, utility systems, and site development.
- Drive design-build projects from initial concept through final construction.
- Lead technical design efforts and provide redline reviews.
- Cultivate strong relationships with municipalities, agencies, and industry partners.
- Support business development by identifying new opportunities and crafting winning proposals.
What You Bring
- Professional Engineer (PE) license in South Dakota, or ability to obtain within 6 months.
- 8 years of civil engineering experience, with a focus on wastewater infrastructure and utilities.
- Proven project management skills and the ability to lead teams effectively.
- A “draw it and build it” mindset—comfortable flexing between the design desk and the field.
- Strong communication skills and a knack for navigating tough conversations when needed.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another engineering role—it’s a chance to create your own blueprint for success. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the Sioux Falls office, the support of a well-established leadership team, and the satisfaction of watching your projects go from CAD drawing to completed construction, all without the typical industry silos.
Perks & Benefits
- Performance-based bonuses in addition to competitive base pay.
- Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, life, disability insurance, PTO, and 401k match.
- Growth-focused, flexible culture that values initiative and innovation.
- Relocation assistance available for ideal candidate.
