Position Overview

Are you ready to transcend standard templates and architect the future of Tennessee’s landscape? We are seeking a high-caliber Civil Engineer to lead sophisticated site development projects from initial concept through final ribbon-cutting. In this role, you aren’t merely drafting plans; you are a strategic partner responsible for transforming complex land challenges into innovative, sustainable realities. You will steer multidisciplinary efforts, ensuring that every grading plan, utility layout, and drainage system aligns with a bespoke vision tailored to the unique needs of the community.

Joining our team means immersing yourself in a culture that prizes original thinking over "cookie-cutter" solutions. For over four decades, the firm has maintained an accessible, elite atmosphere where professional development is a core value, not just a buzzword. Here, you will find the autonomy to manage high-impact projects and the mentorship necessary to solidify your legacy within the AEC industry. With a flexible work environment and a robust commitment to work-life integration, this is the premier platform for a motivated engineer to transition into a senior leadership trajectory.

Core Responsibilities

• Visionary Site Design: Architect comprehensive site engineering plans, including precision grading, complex drainage systems, utility infrastructure, and advanced erosion control measures.

• Project Stewardship: Navigate multiple high-priority projects simultaneously, ensuring every milestone is achieved on schedule, within budget, and to the highest technical standards.

• Technical Analysis & Modeling: Execute rigorous engineering calculations and feasibility studies utilizing industry-leading software to validate design integrity and environmental sustainability.

• Regulatory Authority: Master and implement local, state, and federal regulations, serving as the technical lead for flood elevation certificates, subdivision plats, and jurisdictional hydrologic determinations.

• Multidisciplinary Integration: Synchronize efforts with internal architects, landscape architects, and surveyors to deliver a unified, holistic project vision.

• Client & Stakeholder Advocacy: Communicate complex technical concepts with clarity and confidence to clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies, fostering long-term professional partnerships.

• Leadership & Mentorship: Elevate the technical prowess of the firm by providing guidance and professional coaching to junior engineers and interns.

• Quality Assurance: Oversee the preparation and review of meticulous engineering reports, specifications, and construction documentation to ensure "zero-defect" project delivery.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field from an accredited institution.

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license, or the clear ability to obtain licensure within a specified timeframe.

• Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience in civil/site engineering, specifically within a private consulting environment.

• Software Proficiency: Expert-level command of AutoCAD Civil 3D and professional experience with hydrologic modeling tools (e.g., StormCAD, HydroCAD).

• Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of modern construction methods, stormwater management principles, and site development workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Regional Expertise: Direct experience navigating the regulatory landscape and permitting processes specific to Tennessee and surrounding communities.

• Advanced Certifications: Specialized certifications in erosion control (CPESC) or floodplain management (CFM).

• Business Development: A proven track record of maintaining client relationships and identifying new project opportunities.
