- Mentor and develop junior engineers and project engineers
- Conduct project reviews and ensure quality standards are maintained
- Coordinate with contractors, municipalities, public works departments, and stakeholders
- Prepare project updates and communicate progress to clients
- Support construction activities through site visits and field oversight
- Assist in developing and maintaining long-term client relationships
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering
- Professional Engineer (PE) License required
- 5+ years of municipal engineering experience, 10+ years preferred
- Experience managing or leading civil engineering projects
- Strong background in both design engineering and construction engineering
- Experience with municipal infrastructure projects
- Knowledge of publicly funded projects and regulatory requirements
- Strong communication, leadership, and mentorship skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and teams simultaneously
Preferred Experience
- Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) projects
- Municipal consulting engineering
- Transportation improvements
- Water distribution systems
- Sanitary sewer systems
- Construction engineering and inspection
- Client-facing project leadership
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- Direct path toward senior leadership responsibilities
- Potential future ownership opportunities
- Diverse mix of design and construction work
- Strong backlog of municipal projects
- Collaborative and team-oriented culture
- Opportunity to make a visible impact within communities
- Competitive compensation, bonus opportunities, and profit sharing
