(Relocation assistance provided)

Seeking a Civil Engineer to champion civil engineering municipal infrastructure projects—including site-development, utilities, water systems, pumping, collection, distribution, roadways, and construction administration in our local community.

The Role

The Civil Engineer will take on increasing responsibility for designing, coordinating, and delivering civil infrastructure projects while working closely with senior engineers and project managers. You’ll apply your technical expertise to produce high-quality plans, calculations, and reports, and support client communication and project execution. This role is ideal for engineers who are developing deeper civil engineering design capabilities, strengthening their judgment, and preparing to lead components of projects with greater independence.

You’ll work on a broad range of civil engineering projects—including municipal infrastructure, site development, utilities, stormwater, and transportation systems—and contribute to project delivery from concept through construction.

These responsibilities include:

• Perform engineering analyses, design calculations, and modeling for civil infrastructure projects with moderate independence.
• Develop and refine plans, specifications, and cost estimates using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, GIS, and other civil engineering software.
• Review design alternatives, evaluate technical solutions, and recommend approaches that meet client, regulatory, and project requirements.
• Support project managers in planning, scheduling, and coordinating project tasks and deliverables.
• Lead defined portions of projects—such as discipline-specific design packages or task-level work plans.
• Assist with preparing permitting documents, technical reports, and presentations for clients or regulatory agencies.
• Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observation to verify design intent and resolve construction challenges.
• Review submittals, respond to RFIs, and provide technical support during project execution.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams to complete project delivery.
• Communicate clearly with clients, contractors, and internal stakeholders to support project progress and outcomes.
• Follow established engineering standards, QA/QC processes, and safety requirements in all design work.
• Contribute to improving workflows, templates, and best practices within the civil engineering team.
• Stay current with industry trends, design standards, and emerging technologies.

As employee-owners, we don’t just work here, we grow here. Together, we take on challenging projects, support one another, and create opportunities to thrive. Our culture empowers every team member to find success—professionally and financially—while building something greater than themselves.”

– Arian Bloomfield, President/CEO
