Senior Professional Engineer, Civil/Site Design

TKDA

Job Description

Job Description

At our 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you'll actually own a piece of every project you help deliver. We're looking for a Senior Professional Civil Engineer who loves variety—from renewable energy sites to food processing facilities, academic campuses to municipal infrastructure.

You'll work out of our Downers Grove, Illinois office, leading project teams, mentor junior engineers, and work directly with clients on everything from preliminary design through construction. One day you might be tackling stormwater management, the next you're designing utility infrastructure or managing a corporate campus development.

We follow a "seller-doer" approach, which means you'll collaborate with our Market Managers to build client relationships while focusing on what you do best—great engineering and project leadership. No pressure to be a full-time salesperson, just authentic client partnerships that grow naturally from solid work.

Ready to join a team where your success directly impacts your future? Let's talk.

Hybrid Work Environment: Tuesday - Thursday in office \u007C Monday & Friday WFH

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering.
  • Professional Engineer in the State of Minnesota or Illinois.
  • Minimum of ten years of progressive technical design experience with site development projects including site layouts, site grading, roadway design, utility design, vehicular and/or pedestrian access, stormwater management, and site permitting.
  • Minimum of five years of progressive and successful experience managing projects; strong working knowledge of the project development process including coordination with other disciplines during design and construction.
  • Minimum of two years of business development experience demonstrated by a track record of securing new project opportunities.
  • Ability to apply effective written and verbal communication and presentation skills when developing proposals, negotiating project contracts, preparing technical reports, leading project team meetings, and delivering client presentations.
  • Demonstrated ability to coach, mentor, and develop less experienced professionals with an emphasis on technical design standards, quality control, and/or project management practices.
  • Provide and lead Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) reviews for civil projects.
  • Experience working with regulatory agencies, and knowledge of the permit application process with FEMA, DOT, DNR, and state / local government entities.
  • Experience and understanding of AutoCAD Civil 3D used to develop site designs.
  • Flexibility for limited overnight travel to conduct on-site consultations, participate in project meetings, or attend business development and industry events.
  • Must possess a valid Driver’s License with a clean driving record.
Advantageous Qualifications
  • Active professional registration or the ability to obtain registrations in additional states with a preference of Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Iowa.
  • Prior management and site design experience for private commercial / industrial developers.
  • Prior management and site design experience for renewable energy (solar and/or wind) infrastructure and facilities.

The listed salary range reflects base pay for candidates with 10-15 years of related experience. Compensation may vary based on experience, qualifications, and responsibilities. 

Upon acceptance of a conditional offer of employment, the selected candidate will be required to complete a standard pre-employment background screening, which consists of Social Security verification, educational verification, review of criminal convictions, and driving history.

*Notice to Recruiters and Placement Agencies*

TKDA will not accept unsolicited resumes from recruiters or placement agencies unless a service agreement is in place. In the event TKDA receives an unsolicited resume without a service agreement in place, TKDA will not be obligated to pay a service fee of any amount nor will TKDA be held liable to terms or conditions under any agreement of any kind that has not been authorized in writing by a TKDA officer.
