Job Description

ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world's largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you're an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you've come to the right place.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Civil Engineer is a shared resource covering grading, drainage, utilities, and site design review across Hut 8's data center projects, supporting permitting and site development packages from diligence through construction. You are the owner's civil eyes across a portfolio of fast-moving sites: catching design problems before they become field problems, and keeping permits off the critical path.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Site Design Review

Review civil packages across projects - grading and earthwork balance, storm drainage and detention, wet and dry utilities, roadways and access, erosion and sediment control - for constructability, code compliance, and alignment with program standards. Verify civil design supports equipment logistics: heavy-haul routes, crane pads, and laydown.

Permitting & Entitlements Support

Support permitting strategy and submittals with pre-construction and consultants: site development permits, SWPPP/NPDES, floodplain and drainage approvals, utility permits, and DOT access. Track review cycles, drive comment responses, and escalate when agencies threaten the schedule.

Utility & Site Infrastructure Coordination

Coordinate water, sewer, gas, and telecom infrastructure design with serving utilities and the HV team's substation site needs - shared corridors, easements, and crossing conflicts.

Construction Support

Respond to civil RFIs and field issues; review submittals, shop drawings, and mix designs; support earthwork QA/QC decisions (compaction, subgrade acceptance, dewatering) with CSA superintendents and project engineers.

Diligence & Early Works

Support site diligence for new projects: grading feasibility, drainage constraints, geotech review coordination, and early-works packages that let construction mobilize before full design completes.

Program Standards

Maintain civil design standards, typical details, and specification updates across the portfolio; capture lessons learned from each site into the next.

 

ABOUT YOU

- What we're looking for:

- 5+ years of civil site design or owner's-side civil review for industrial, mission-critical, or large commercial developments.

- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering; PE license preferred.

- Strong working knowledge of grading and drainage design, stormwater management, and utility infrastructure.

- Experience supporting entitlement and site permitting with AHJs, environmental agencies, and DOTs - you know how to keep a permit review moving.

- Comfortable reviewing Civil 3D-based deliverables and geotechnical reports.

- Construction-phase experience: RFIs, submittals, and earthwork QA/QC judgment calls.

- Able to support multiple concurrent projects and re-prioritize weekly against construction schedules.

- Clear communicator with consultants, agencies, and field teams.

- Periodic travel to project sites across Texas, Louisiana, and the Southeast (typically 15-25%).

ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role will be based at our Miami headquarters, with travel to project sites as needed.
