Job description

The Mannik & Smith Group (MSG) is a people-focused, award-winning, full-service consulting firm offering civil and geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, planning, landscape architecture, agriculture, surveying, and construction support. Our talented team of 650+ professionals delivers integrated planning, design, engineering, and construction solutions.

Build Things That Actually Matter (in Maumee, Ohio)

Somebody has to design the roads, drainage systems, and site layouts that make communities work — and we'd love for it to be you. MSG is seeking an Associate Civil Engineer to join our team in Maumee, Ohio, and get real, hands‑on experience across land development, municipal, and infrastructure projects. No fetching coffee, no shadowing from a distance — you'll be involved in every stage of a project, from design and permitting through field support and construction documentation, with experienced engineers who are genuinely invested in helping you grow (and eventually get licensed).

And because we believe in backing that up with more than good intentions, 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. It all wraps up with an in‑person capstone event where you'll present your work and map out your goals for the year ahead.

Your Future Starts With A Plan.

What You'll Do

• Develop civil engineering designs and drawings — site layouts, grading, drainage, utilities, and roadways — using AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Help navigate the permitting maze, preparing applications for local, state, and federal agencies (yes, it's a lot of acronyms — you'll get the hang of it)
• Prepare engineering calculations, feasibility studies, and technical reports that actually inform design decisions
• Collaborate with project managers, surveyors, and other engineering disciplines to deliver coordinated solutions
• Support stormwater management and drainage design (prior software experience a plus, not a requirement)
• Get out of the office for site visits and field inspections to see your designs come to life — and troubleshoot when they don't quite go as planned

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
• 0–3 years of civil engineering design experience (land development or municipal projects preferred, but we know everyone starts somewhere)
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and related engineering software
• Genuine interest in stormwater management and site development design
• EIT certification preferred (or a willingness to get there)
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills
• Comfort working in a team‑oriented, multidisciplinary environment
• Motivation to grow professionally and pursue licensure (PE a plus)

Why MSG?

• 401(k) with company match
• Health insurance with HSA option, Vision, Dental, Life
• Flexible schedule
• Paid time off
• Referral program
• Tuition reimbursement
• Catalytic Coaching — a personalized development plan built to grow your contributions today and your opportunities tomorrow. At MSG, bringing out the best in our people isn't a slogan — it's how we operate.
