  • Collaborate with Project Managers and Team Leads to develop and execute detailed plans for large-scale initiatives, coordinating complex scopes, schedules, budgets, and technical decisions.
  • Advise clients, internal leaders, and government agencies as a civil engineering subject matter expert, applying current regulations, industry trends, and best practices to reduce risk and strengthen outcomes.
  • Review complex technical documents and project deliverables for design accuracy, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance, and lead field inspections to confirm construction aligns with design intent.
  • Mentor team members, lead lessons-learned and professional-development activities, and provide technical guidance that expands team capability and supports major strategic project decisions.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering.
  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) licensure.
  • Typically 15+ years of post-graduation professional engineering experience and/or 15+ years of professionally licensed experience.
  • Expert proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, along with proficiency using standard technology, software tools, and search engines.
