What they need
Our client, a growing civil engineering and surveying team is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (Civil) to lead the design, technical delivery, and stamping of land development, site design, and infrastructure projects. This role collaborates closely with project managers, surveyors, and external consultants to guide projects from early concept through permitting and construction.
The ideal candidate brings strong technical capability, confidence in decision‑making, and the ability to manage multiple active projects in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities
Prepare, review, and stamp civil engineering plans including grading, drainage, utilities, and site layout
Interpret project specifications, engineering drawings, and survey data
Coordinate with municipalities, agencies, and clients throughout the permitting process
Perform engineering calculations and conduct quality control reviews on deliverables
Provide technical guidance to project managers during project execution
Participate in post‑project reviews and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
Mentor junior engineers and technicians as needed
Required Qualifications
Active Professional Engineer (Civil) license
Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related discipline
Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D
Experience with grading, drainage, and site utility design
Ability to independently manage multiple concurrent projects
Experience with land development and subdivision design
Familiarity with municipal and state‑level submittal requirements
Strong written communication skills for client‑facing deliverables
Ideal Candidate Profile
Self‑directed, accountable, and solutions‑oriented
Thrives in a small, high‑performance team environment
Comfortable with transparent communication and results‑driven expectations
Strong organizational and time‑management skills
Clear communicator with both clients and internal teams
Collaborative but capable of working independently
Detail‑oriented with a quality‑first mindset
Active PE license already in hand (no pending reciprocity)
Experience at a small‑to‑mid‑sized civil firm with direct client interaction
Proven track record of delivering projects on time and within budget
Familiarity with regional permitting processes and agency requirements
What Makes a Candidate Stand Out
Deep experience in land development and site design from concept through construction
Strong Civil 3D proficiency, including surfaces, corridors, pipe networks, and plan production workflows
Ability to take full ownership of project engineering with minimal oversight
Demonstrated success working directly with clients, municipalities, and reviewing agencies
History of mentoring junior staff and contributing to team development
Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, HSA
Why This Role Stands Out
This position offers meaningful technical ownership, direct client visibility, and the ability to influence project outcomes from day one. The team operates in a lean, collaborative environment where individual contributions are highly visible and rewarded. Compensation is tied to performance through a project‑based incentive structure, making this an excellent opportunity for a PE who wants to make a real impact and be recognized for it.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
