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
