Job Description

INTRO TO EXCEL

Excel is an employee-owned, full-service architecture and engineering firm located in Fond du Lac, WI. We provide architecture and engineering solutions to a range of markets, including Food/Industrial Facilities, Education, QSR Franchises, Land Development, Residential Housing, and Municipal Facilities.

Civil Engineering in our world means creating site development plans for the markets listed above. Our team of surveyors, civil engineers, and due diligence staff work together to advocate for our client's plan throughout the entirety of a project. This involves due diligence, site layout and design, grading and drainage plans, erosion control plans, utility layout, environmental permitting, stormwater management, expediting submittals, landscape plans, and photometrics. 

You won't get bored working on the same type of project over and over. When you work on our team, you're not just the "street and utility design" or "stormwater" person. You'll gain experience in all responsibilities required to complete a job. We create well-rounded Civil Engineers who are able to take on any task.

• Back to it! Hop on a call with the client and our other in-house disciplines to run through the latest project scope. Communication is a major key to our success. 
• Need to ask the architect a question? Stroll on over to their office.
• Wrapping up the day, grab a drink in the Excellar with the team or shoot a game of pool.
