Position Overview

EEI is seeking a Civil Engineer with broad, generalist civil design experience to join our growing team. This role will work across a range of project types - land development, subdivisions, grading and drainage, roadways, and municipal utilities - developing designs, preparing plans and specifications, and communicating regularly with clients, developers, and community leaders and staff.

• Assist in client management, including regular communication with developers, community leaders, and municipal staff

• Coordinate with project managers and senior engineers on project scheduling, budgets, and deliverable

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering

• Broad civil design experience across land development, grading/drainage, roadway, or municipal utility projects preferred

• Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus, but not required - candidates without a PE should have a clear interest in pursuing licensure

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with comfort presenting to and working directly with clients, developers, and municipal staff

• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects at once
