  • Plats/subdivisions
  • Easements or right-of-way
  • Municipal permitting
  • Zoning or development review
  • Entitlement processing
  • Surveys/property documentation
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Interest in developing deeper expertise in South Florida land-development processes
  • Comfortable working collaboratively with multidisciplinary technical teams
  • Valid driver's license

Preferred Background

  • Experience with a private civil engineering, surveying, landscape architecture, planning, real estate development, or land-development consulting firm
  • Familiarity with South Florida municipalities and development requirements
