Position Overview
Are you a visionary engineer ready to pivot from technical execution to high-level strategic leadership?

  • Team Mentorship: Direct and develop a talented team of engineers and EITs, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional licensure.
  • Technical Authority: Lead the preparation and review of sophisticated construction documents, leveraging advanced design software to solve complex site challenges.
  • Client Integration: Act as the primary technical liaison for stakeholders and clients, translating intricate engineering requirements into successful project outcomes.
  • Quality Governance: Implement rigorous quality control protocols across all civil engineering outputs to ensure technical accuracy and regulatory compliance.

Required Qualifications
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering.
  • Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.
  • Experience: 8+ years of progressive experience in civil land development.
  • Software Proficiency: Expert command of AutoCAD Civil 3D; familiarity with Revit.

Preferred Qualifications
