Thomas & Hutton

Job Description

Job Description

Bring independent technical judgment to complex, multi-system civil designs. As a Civil Designer III, you'll apply independent judgment to prepare design calculations and engineering analyses across the full range of civil systems, take on a moderate level of direct client contact, and begin mentoring toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure. This is a role for EIT/EIs ready to own technically demanding assignments with less day-to-day oversight.

What You'll Do:

  • Use independent judgment to prepare design calculations and engineering analyses on an assignment basis, including drainage/hydrology, storm pipe sizing, detention pond design, water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, sewer pumping systems, sediment control, and pavement design
  • Independently prepare portions of construction plans, specifications, reports, studies, supporting documentation, cost estimates, and permit applications utilizing company and industry-accepted standards
  • Anticipate potential problems on assignments and resolve conflicts before they affect schedule or quality
  • Prepare drawings, exhibits, and details using CADD tools and company graphics standards, with the capability to produce all necessary graphic elements of a moderately complex project without assistance
  • May assist the Project Engineer or Project Manager in preparing cost proposals, project schedules, and cost estimates
  • Carry a moderate level of client contact at the staff level; may attend meetings on behalf of the company with clients, contractors, or resource agencies at the direction of the Project Manager
  • Work as part of a project team, coordinating with others and assisting in determining schedule and budget requirements
  • Receive direction on unconventional or complex problems and a thorough review of completed work for sound application of professional judgment
  • Attain mentored experience toward PE licensure from a licensed civil engineer
What You Bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering
  • 3+ years of experience designing land development projects using Civil 3D
  • Passed FE/EIT certification; eligible to sit for the PE exam where state rules allow
  • Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D software
  • Clear, confident written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to prioritize multiple complex tasks and thrive with reduced day-to-day oversight
  • A client-service mindset, strong initiative, and a collaborative approach to project teams
Why Thomas & Hutton?

  • Competitive salary plus performance bonus
  • Condensed work schedule for better work-life balance
  • Top-tier health, dental, vision, and prescription coverage
  • 401(k), generous PTO, holidays, and tuition assistance
  • Thomas & Hutton University and hands-on Civil 3D mentoring to advance your career

Schedule

On-site: Monday–Thursday 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.; Friday 7:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m.
