• Serve as a primary engineering representative and trusted advisor for assigned municipal clients.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with municipal officials, staff, authorities, and community stakeholders.
• Manage municipal engineering and infrastructure projects from planning through completion, with responsibility for scope, schedule, budget, quality, and client expectations.
• Review subdivision, land development, infrastructure, stormwater, and other engineering submissions prepared by developers and outside consultants for compliance with municipal ordinances, standards, and applicable requirements.
• Prepare technical review letters, reports, recommendations, and engineering documentation for municipal clients.
• Advise municipal officials and staff on proposed improvements, development activities, infrastructure needs, and engineering considerations.
• Attend and present at municipal meetings, planning commissions, zoning hearings, public meetings, and other forums as required.
• Explain complex engineering issues and recommendations clearly to municipal officials, developers, consultants, and members of the public.
• Coordinate with developers, contractors, regulatory agencies, outside consultants, and RETTEW's multidisciplinary project teams.
• Support infrastructure and capital planning, including transportation, stormwater, utilities, and other community improvement initiatives.
• Identify project risks, regulatory considerations, and potential challenges and help clients develop practical solutions.
• Identify opportunities to expand RETTEW's support of existing municipal clients by connecting them with additional technical resources and services when appropriate.

What We're Looking ForRequired

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related engineering or technical discipline.
• Significant professional experience within the AEC industry, including demonstrated municipal engineering and project-management responsibility.
• Experience serving municipalities, municipal authorities, or other public-sector clients.
• Experience managing engineering projects with responsibility for scope, schedule, budget, and client communication.
• Experience reviewing engineering plans, subdivision or land development submissions, or municipal infrastructure projects.
• Working knowledge of municipal ordinances, permitting processes, land development practices, and infrastructure planning.
• Experience communicating technical recommendations to municipal officials, clients, or other public-sector stakeholders.
• Strong written communication skills with experience preparing technical reports, review letters, recommendations, or similar engineering documentation.
• Ability and willingness to attend evening municipal meetings, planning commissions, public hearings, and other client meetings as required.
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel to client, meeting, and project locations as needed.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Pennsylvania or eligibility to obtain Pennsylvania licensure.
• Experience serving as the primary engineering representative or engineer for a municipality or municipal authority.
• Experience presenting at municipal meetings, planning commissions, zoning hearings, or public forums.
• Experience reviewing subdivision and land development submissions on behalf of a municipality.
• Knowledge of Pennsylvania municipal processes, ordinances, and regulatory frameworks.
