You will also oversee and support a small engineering team as the department continues to grow.
This role would suit a Civil Engineer with strong Civil 3D experience and an EIT (or close to PE) looking for a role where you can broaden your project exposure, develop your technical capability, and progress with a growing design-build team.
The Role:
- Civil design for commercial / land development projects using AutoCAD Civil 3D
