What does a junior civil designer do?

A Junior Civil Designer assists in the planning, design, and drafting of civil engineering projects such as roads, bridges, and infrastructure. They use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create technical drawings and collaborate closely with engineers and senior designers. Their responsibilities may also include preparing project documentation, conducting site visits, and ensuring designs comply with relevant standards and regulations. This entry-level role is ideal for those starting their career in civil engineering and design.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a junior civil designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Junior Civil Designer, you need a solid understanding of civil engineering principles, drafting techniques, and an associate or bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related field. Proficiency with CAD software (such as AutoCAD or Civil 3D), GIS systems, and familiarity with relevant design standards are typically required. Strong attention to detail, effective communication, and a willingness to learn from senior designers help set candidates apart. These skills ensure accurate design deliverables, efficient project collaboration, and professional growth within the civil engineering field.

What are some typical projects a junior civil designer works on, and how do they collaborate with senior team members?

As a Junior Civil Designer, you will often be involved in drafting plans for infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, subdivisions, or utility systems. You’ll use CAD software to create detailed drawings and support the development of design documents. Collaboration is key—junior designers regularly work under the guidance of senior engineers and designers, participating in team meetings and revising designs based on feedback. This environment provides valuable mentorship and learning opportunities while contributing to larger project goals.

Job description

The Junior Civil Engineer will work closely with other engineers and CAD technicians on various civil, solid waste, and environmental related projects in our Daphne, AL office. The projects are challenging and provide unique design opportunities. You will be responsible for designing solid waste facilities that will enable LaBella to create sustainable, cost-effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients. The projects are intricate and incorporate both civil and environmental engineering skills, including land development (grading and stormwater management); leachate collection, treatment, and management; renewable energy designs; and organic waste management. Brand new, already operational, and closed solid waste facilities face many different types of challenges – there is never a dull moment, nor is there a cookie-cutter solution that fits every similar situation.

Duties:

  • Projects will include solid-waste related site development projects: developing master plans, design drawings, design of stormwater management and erosion control systems, technical specifications, and cost estimates.
  • Preparing various types of related reports and studies to secure permitting for projects.
  • Drafting work for scoping/conceptual work/engineering packages.
  • Position will require some travel to clients’ facilities to better understand design issues and to monitor construction progress.

Requirements

  • Minimum requirements include a BS in Civil or Environmental Engineering, Passed the FE Exam with intent to obtain Professional Engineer license, and 0 to 5 years of experience, including solid waste, land development, or closely related projects.
  • Knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil3D.
  • Ideal candidate has the traits of a team player who is enthusiastic about all aspects of engineering and project management and can lead projects from planning and preliminary engineering through design and construction.
  • Must have good communication skills, be a team player and be able to relate well to project team, clients, regulators, and contractors.
