What is municipal engineering?

Municipal engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure and services for towns and cities. This includes public works such as roads, water supply, sewage systems, waste management, parks, and public transportation. Municipal engineers work with local governments to ensure communities have safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure to improve quality of life for residents.

What are some common challenges municipal engineers face when working on public infrastructure projects?

Municipal engineers often encounter challenges such as coordinating with multiple stakeholders, managing tight budgets, and addressing regulatory requirements. They must balance the needs of the community with environmental considerations and ensure projects meet safety standards. Effective communication and problem-solving skills are crucial, as municipal engineers frequently collaborate with city planners, contractors, and government officials to deliver projects on time and within scope.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Municipal Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Municipal Engineer, you need strong knowledge of civil engineering principles, urban infrastructure design, and a bachelor's degree in civil or municipal engineering. Familiarity with CAD software, GIS systems, and relevant certifications like Professional Engineer (PE) licensure are typically required. Excellent problem-solving, project management, and communication skills help you collaborate with stakeholders and address community needs effectively. These skills ensure the safe, efficient, and sustainable development of public infrastructure critical to community well-being.

Job description

CEDARVILLE ENGINEERING GROUP
Municipal Engineer
Improving Communities Through Infrastructure
About CEG
Cedarville Engineering Group (CEG) delivers civil infrastructure and land development engineering for municipalities and clients across Southeastern Pennsylvania. We serve townships and boroughs as their engineers and advisors — designing and reviewing the water, sewer, stormwater, road, and land development projects that keep communities running. We are headquartered in Pottstown, PA. Our mission is to improve the life through infrastructure.
The Role
We are seeking a Municipal Engineer to serve our township and borough clients across Southeastern Pennsylvania. You will design municipal infrastructure, review land development plans against local ordinances, and represent CEG in front of the municipalities we serve. Familiarity with Pennsylvania municipal practice is a real plus — understanding how PA municipalities operate and how PA regulations get applied helps you hit the ground running.
This role involves:
  • Site civil design — grading, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, storm and sanitary sewer
  • Subdivision and land development (SALDO) plan review against municipal ordinances and the PA Municipalities Planning Code
  • Technical specifications, bidding documents, and construction cost estimates
  • Construction observation that holds the work to the design
  • Based in Pottstown, PA, serving municipal clients across the surrounding region
What This Role Really Is
You are the engineer our municipal clients rely on — and the one who gets the design right and sees it through.
You ensure:
  • Designs and plan reviews meet PA code, municipal ordinance, and PA DEP / PennDOT requirements
  • What gets built in the field matches what was engineered on the page
  • Our municipal clients get responsive, knowledgeable engineering they can stand behind at a public meeting
We are open to a range of experience — from EIT to licensed PE — and we will invest in you. CEG supports the path to your PA PE and the continuing education you need to grow.
What You'll DoMunicipal Design amp; Engineering
  • Produce site civil designs including grading, stormwater management, erosion and sedimentation control, and storm and sanitary sewer
  • Prepare technical specifications, bidding documents, and construction cost estimates for municipal projects
  • Prepare Stormwater Management Reports, PA DEP Chapter 102 (E amp;S / NPDES) and Chapter 105 submittals, and Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H amp;H) studies
  • Support Act 537 sewage facilities planning and PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) applications as needed
  • Use AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and related design tools to deliver clean, constructible plans
Land Development amp; Ordinance Review
  • Review subdivision and land development plans for township and borough clients against local SALDO and zoning ordinances and the PA Municipalities Planning Code (MPC)
  • Prepare review letters and represent CEG at township meetings, planning commission, and public hearings
  • Advise municipal staff, boards, and officials on engineering requirements and ordinance compliance
Construction Support
  • Perform construction observations and document field conditions
  • Resolve design questions that come up in the field and keep the project moving
  • Coordinate with surveyors, environmental staff, contractors, and municipal officials
What You BringEducation (Required)
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent
Pennsylvania Knowledge (Preferred)
  • Experience working for or with PA municipalities — townships and boroughs — is a strong plus
  • Familiarity with the PA Municipalities Planning Code (MPC) and municipal SALDO / zoning ordinance review
  • Familiarity with PA DEP regulations — Chapter 102 (E amp;S / NPDES), Chapter 105, and Act 537 sewage planning
  • Comfortable navigating PennDOT, county conservation district, and municipal permitting and review processes
Experience Levels
  • We hire at multiple levels and match the role to your background:
  • Engineer I: 0–2 years in site, civil, or municipal engineering; EIT preferred
  • Engineer II: 2–3 years; EIT obtained
  • Engineer III: 3–6 years; eligible for or pursuing a PA PE
  • Engineer IV: 5–7 years; PA PE licensed
Certifications
  • EIT and progress toward PA PE expected as you advance; PA PE required at senior levels — CEG supports your path to licensure
  • Valid driver’s license
Preferred
  • Prior role as a municipal / township engineer or in a firm serving municipal clients
  • Relationships with municipalities, conservation districts, or PA DEP regional offices
  • Strong technical writing — clean review letters and reports are a real plus
  • Experience balancing multiple clients and projects at once
Capabilities
  • Proficiency in engineering software and design tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, etc.)
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills — you can hold your own in front of a township board
  • Sound problem-solving and judgment — you apply the code, you don’t just quote it
  • Flexible and willing to take on a variety of tasks as client needs change
  • Able to work independently and collaboratively across disciplines
What Matters Here – Our Core Values
  • Responsive – You communicate clearly and act quickly
  • Driven – You take ownership of outcomes
  • Problem-Solver – You fix gaps, not just document them
  • Growth Mindset – You keep learning and take on new skills as the work demands
  • No Assholes – We hold the line and treat people right
If you want to design in a vacuum and never stand behind your work in public, this is not the place for you.
If you take pride in engineering that gets built right and lasts — and in serving the communities behind it — you'll fit.
Work Environment
  • Based in the Pottstown, PA office, with field visits to job sites and occasional evening attendance at township and borough meetings
  • Office work in a climate-controlled environment; field work outdoors across varying conditions and terrain
  • Local and regional travel to municipal clients and project sites
  • This is a safety-sensitive position
  • Occasional lifting of supplies and materials up to 30 pounds; bending, standing, and walking, sometimes over rough terrain
Why This Role Matters
The infrastructure you design and the plans you review are what our communities drive on, drink from, and build their neighborhoods around.
Your role ensures:
  • Our municipal clients get engineering they can trust and stand behind in public
  • Projects stay on schedule and on the right side of PA code and local ordinance
  • CEG keeps delivering on its mission — to improve the life through infrastructure
This is not busywork. This is infrastructure that improves the life.
