• Prepare civil engineering calculations, technical reports, plans, specifications, and construction documents.
• Assist with site grading, drainage, stormwater management, utilities, pavement, and earthwork design.
• Review site plans, grading plans, utility plans, and construction documents for technical accuracy and constructability.
• Coordinate civil designs with structural, geotechnical, architectural, environmental, and other engineering disciplines.
• Evaluate existing site conditions and assist with developing practical engineering recommendations.
• Participate in field investigations, site visits, and construction observations.
• Assist with subsurface investigations and incorporate geotechnical recommendations into civil and site designs.
• Support foundation, pavement, site utility, and earthwork-related engineering activities.
• Coordinate permitting and project requirements with local and state agencies.
• Prepare and respond to RFIs, submittals, design revisions, and construction-related technical questions.
• Assist Project Managers with project schedules, budgets, proposals, and client communication.
• Monitor construction activities for general compliance with project plans and specifications.

• Experience with civil/site design, construction engineering, or infrastructure projects.
• Understanding of grading, drainage, utilities, pavements, earthwork, and general site development.
• Ability to read and interpret civil, structural, architectural, and geotechnical drawings.
• Experience preparing engineering calculations, reports, plans, and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a consulting engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, or geostructural projects.
• Experience with commercial, residential, industrial, education, healthcare, transportation, or infrastructure projects.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D.
• Experience with stormwater management, hydrologic and hydraulic calculations, or drainage design.
• Knowledge of site utilities, pavement design, retaining structures, and foundation systems.
• Experience performing construction observations or field inspections.
• Familiarity with local and state permitting requirements.
• Experience coordinating directly with contractors, owners, architects, and regulatory agencies.
