  • Participate in site visits, field activities, construction observation, and data collection as assigned

  • Assist with redlines, submittals, preparation of exhibits, and record (as-built) drawings

  • Engage in progressively more complex design tasks as experience, proficiency, and technical understanding develop

  • Assist in the design and preparation of plans for residential, commercial, and site development projects, including grading, drainage, and utility layouts

  • Evaluate site constraints and design alternatives to support constructability and compliance with project requirements.

  • Support permitting and coordination activities related to land development projects

  • Additional related duties as needed

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university

  • Familiarity with engineering principles, practices, and procedures

  • Basic proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Microsoft Word, and Excel

  • Effective written and verbal communication skills

  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment

  • Adaptable and flexible in managing shifting priorities and deadlines
