Civil Engineer

About the Firm

American Services of Miami is a full-service civil engineering, land surveying, and site planning firm with over 30 years of history in South Florida. We handle the entire development lifecycle in-house, from boundary surveys through final plat, for residential, commercial, and industrial developers across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

About the Role

We’re adding a civil engineer to assist with paving and drainage design, as well as water and sewer design for land development projects. You’ll take each plan set from start to finish instead of handing off half-finished work. You’ll work directly with our licensed engineers, surveyors, and permitting team. Our field crews are in-house, so the data you design from is data we collected.

What You’ll Do

• Design paving, grading, and drainage for residential subdivisions, commercial sites, and mixed-use developments
• Prepare stormwater calculations and ERP drainage reports
• Design potable water distribution and sanitary sewer systems to Miami-Dade WASD and municipal standards
• Produce complete construction plan sets in Civil 3D, from concept through permit submittal
• Respond to agency review comments from Miami-Dade, DERM, Public Works, SFWMD, and municipalities with clear, accurate revisions
• Coordinate with surveyors, field crews, and our permitting team on data needs and deadlines
• Check plans and calculations against standards before they go to a licensed engineer for review
• Support tentative and final plat work as you grow

What We’re Looking For (Required)

• B.S. in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
• EIT certification (FE passed) or Florida PE license
• 3+ years of land development or site civil design experience
• Paving, grading, and drainage design experience, including stormwater calculations
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Clear communication and ownership of deadlines
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for occasional site and agency visits

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with South Florida agencies (WASD, DERM, Public Works, SFWMD)
• ICPR or Cascade stormwater modeling
• Water and sewer design, including pump stations
• Working toward your PE (exam scheduled or planned)
• Bilingual English/Spanish

What We Provide

• Competitive pay based on experience and licensure
• Health insurance contribution and 401(k) with employer match for eligible employees
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Support toward PE licensure
• Direct access to senior engineers and firm leadership
• Ownership of your work and a clear path to lead design or move into project management

Apply directly on Indeed. American Services of Miami is an equal opportunity employer.

Pay: $70,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Application Question(s):

• What is your current licensure status (FE passed, EIT, or Florida PE)? If you’re not yet a PE, when do you plan to sit for the PE exam?
• Have you designed paving, grading, and drainage plans for land development projects as the primary designer? If yes, about how many plan sets, and what project types (subdivision, commercial, mixed-use)?
• Have you prepared an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) application or stormwater/drainage report with calculations? If yes, which agency (SFWMD, county, municipal) and what was your role?
