Director / Practice Lead - Land Development

Full-time

David Joseph & Company

Position Summary

Seeking a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer to lead and grow a Land Development practice in Central Florida. This individual will operate with a high degree of autonomy and will be responsible for managing a team, overseeing a strong book of work, and serving as a senior client-facing leader without requiring daily oversight from firm principals.

The firm maintains a diversified and active backlog across multiple sectors. Current high-growth areas include large-scale retail and entertainment developments, nationally recognized commercial projects, and several substantial mixed-use communities. The firm also continues steady work in multifamily, single-family, industrial, and other private-sector development sectors. Healthcare is an emerging growth area with strategic initiatives underway that are expected to generate sustained project flow.

This is a leadership opportunity for an experienced PE ready to take ownership of project delivery, team performance, and client relationships within a multidisciplinary civil engineering environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers and designers
• Oversee multiple residential, commercial, mixed-use, retail, industrial, and healthcare-related development projects
• Manage scope, budgets, schedules, and financial performance
• Serve as primary point of contact for clients and regulatory agencies
• Direct permitting efforts in Central Florida (municipal and county agencies)
• Coordinate with in-house planning, surveying, and related teams
• Contribute to project pursuits and strategic growth initiatives

Qualifications

• Florida PE license (required)
• 12+ years of land development experience
• Proven ability to independently run projects and supervise staff
• Strong Central Florida permitting experience
• Experience in residential and commercial development
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D

What This Is

A true practice-level leadership role with autonomy, sector diversity, and long-term growth opportunity.
