Principal Civil Engineer
Land Development | Phoenix Metro | Chandler, Arizona
Own the Market. Lead the Team. Build Something Lasting.
CAGE is looking for a seasoned Principal Civil Engineer with deep roots in the Phoenix metro market to lead our Chandler office operations and serve as the face of our Arizona practice. This is not a senior PM seat. This is a leadership role with a clear trajectory toward full operational ownership of the Chandler office. We want someone who can walk into a room with a developer, municipality, or architect and already know the players, the projects, and the market. If you have 12+ years of Phoenix area land development experience, established client relationships, and the instincts to run a business unit, we want to talk. We are specifically looking for someone with established relationships in the Phoenix metro development community who knows the market, the players, and how to win work here. If that describes you, this role was designed with you in mind.

About CAGE
CAGE is a growing civil engineering, surveying, and construction management firm serving private and public sector clients across the Southwest and beyond, with offices in Illinois, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina. We specialize in land development consulting and partner with developers, architects, contractors, municipalities, school districts, and institutional clients to bring projects from concept through construction. Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing development markets in the country, and our Chandler office is positioned to grow with it. Our culture combines the capabilities of a multi-office firm with the entrepreneurial energy of a growing organization. We empower our leaders to make decisions, develop people, win clients, and shape the direction of the business. There is no bureaucratic ceiling here.What You'll Do

Why This Role Is Different
