Job Description

Our client, a growing civil engineering and surveying team is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (Civil) to lead the design, technical delivery, and stamping of land development, site design, and infrastructure projects.

• Interpret project specifications, engineering drawings, and survey data

• Coordinate with municipalities, agencies, and clients throughout the permitting process

• Perform engineering calculations and conduct quality control reviews on deliverables

• Participate in post‑project reviews and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives

• Mentor junior engineers and technicians as needed

• Strong organizational and time‑management skills

• Clear communicator with both clients and internal teams

• Collaborative but capable of working independently

• Detail‑oriented with a quality‑first mindset

• Active PE license already in hand (no pending reciprocity)

• Experience at a small‑to‑mid‑sized civil firm with direct client interaction

• Ability to take full ownership of project engineering with minimal oversight

• Demonstrated success working directly with clients, municipalities, and reviewing agencies

• History of mentoring junior staff and contributing to team development

 

Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, HSA

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers meaningful technical ownership, direct client visibility, and the ability to influence project outcomes from day one. The team operates in a lean, collaborative environment where individual contributions are highly visible and rewarded. Compensation is tied to performance through a project‑based incentive structure, making this an excellent opportunity for a PE who wants to make a real impact and be recognized for it.
