  • Mentor and develop junior engineers and EITs with support that helps them grow fast.
  • Partner with clients, architects, contractors, and agencies to turn ideas into built projects that serve communities.
  • Own schedules, budgets, QA/QC, and documentation—keeping projects moving and teams aligned.
  • Shape proposals and scopes with your insight and experience.
  • Leverage top tools like Civil 3D, stormwater modeling software, and GIS to streamline design and push for innovation.
  • Champion smarter, greener, more resilient engineering solutions that raise the bar for every project.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering.
  • PE license
  • 8+ years of civil or municipal engineering experience.
  • Strong design and project management chops—you know how to get projects across the finish line.
  • A leadership style that’s supportive, open, and collaborative.
  • Bonus points for experience in land development, transportation, or water infrastructure.
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to client sites and commission meetings.

Preferred Experience

  • Working with rural or small-town municipalities.
  • Familiarity with local, state, and federal funding and permitting processes.

What We Offer

Real Career Growth
