Entry Level Civil Service Jobs in Minnesota (NOW HIRING)

See projects move from sketches and site visits to permits, construction, and ribbon cuttings-often within your first year.

At Landform, you'll do more than support projects. You'll help shape the places where people live, work, shop, and connect.

As an Entry-Level Civil Engineer, you'll work alongside civil engineers, planners, land surveyors, landscape architects, and development professionals in a collaborative studio environment where learning happens across disciplines-not just within one studio.

Simply put, you'll help design projects that actually get built-not just drawings that sit on a screen.

We're looking for an on-site Civil Engineer (EIT or 0-3 years of experience), based in the Minneapolis, MN area, who wants hands-on experience, meaningful responsibility, and an accelerated path toward becoming a well-rounded engineering professional.

• You'll contribute to projects that may include retail developments, commercial expansions, mixed-use sites, medical campuses, community-focused developments, and other projects that help shape communities throughout Minnesota.

• For early-career engineers, that broad exposure can help accelerate professional growth and provide valuable perspective that lasts throughout an entire career.
