Design Southeast Michigan's Future From a Pretty Cool Office

MSG is growing, and we're looking for a motivated Civil Design Engineer with 0-2 years of experience and solid Autodesk Civil 3D skills to join our Detroit, MI office — which, fair warning, has serious industrial character. Big open space, the kind of place where you can actually picture yourself building a career. You'll support engineers and project managers in producing civil/site design plans, reports, and calculations for municipal infrastructure and private development projects across the region — real technical work that builds real skills, not busywork.

And we back that growth with more than a cool office: this role comes with a guaranteed seat in Blueprint , our new early career leadership program for engineers looking to grow beyond the typical entry-level experience. Over six months, you'll take part in a hands-on curriculum covering professional development, business acumen, and project delivery — including case studies, simulations, and role-play exercises — covering topics like project economics, communication, and leadership fundamentals. What You'll Do Develop design drawings and plans using Autodesk Civil 3D, including:

Site grading

Utility layouts

Storm sewer and sanitary sewer networks

Prepare components of engineering packages such as:

Construction drawings

Drainage calculations and reports

Assist senior engineers and project managers with:

Technical analysis

Project coordination

Quality control reviews

Scheduling and task planning

Get out of the office for periodic field visits — site assessments, measurements, and construction support

Make sure every deliverable meets municipal, county, and state standards
