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

Construction engineering and inspection
Client-facing project leadership
Why Consider This Opportunity?
Direct path toward senior leadership responsibilities
Potential future ownership opportunities
