Now Hiring: Civil Project Engineer (PE) - Land Development

Wilmington, NC | Full-Time | On-Site


A respected multidisciplinary engineering firm on the coast of North Carolina is looking for a Civil Project Engineer to take ownership of land development projects from design through construction. If you're a PE who wants to lead, not just support, we want to connect.


🔹 What You'll Do:

  • Lead civil site design across residential, commercial, and public infrastructure projects
  • Own full project delivery - grading, drainage, stormwater, utilities, permitting, and construction documents
  • Collaborate directly with firm leadership on project execution and client relationships
  • Navigate complex coastal regulatory environments including NCDOT, NCDENR, and municipal permitting


🔹 Why Apply?

  • Boutique firm with hands-on ownership - you're not a number here
  • Genuine project ownership from day one with a team that values technical depth
  • Work on complex coastal and wetland-adjacent development projects
  • Competitive benefits including health, dental, vision, 401(k) with employer match, bonus opportunities, and PTO
  • Relocation support available for the right candidate


🔹 What We're Looking For:

  • B.S. in Civil Engineering or related field
  • PE licence (NC preferred, or obtainable through reciprocity)
  • 3–10 years of civil engineering experience with a focus on land development
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Carlson, HydroCAD, Hydraflow, and WaterCAD
  • Proven track record delivering full construction documents through permitting
