Position Overview

An established civil engineering team is seeking a Civil Engineer (EIT) with 2–5 years of experience in land development, site design, roadway design, or related civil engineering projects.

This is an opportunity to work directly with a licensed Senior Civil Engineer, contribute to projects from initial planning through construction, and continue developing your technical expertise while working toward your Professional Engineer (PE) license.

The position begins as a contract-to-hire opportunity, with the potential to transition into a full-time position or continue as a long-term contract role based on individual performance, project needs, and business requirements.

With a diverse project portfolio, in-house surveying resources, and direct access to experienced engineering professionals, this role offers the opportunity to take ownership of your work while building a long-term career in civil engineering.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Professional Mentorship: Receive direct guidance and design reviews from a licensed Senior Civil Engineer as you progress toward your PE license.
• PE Licensure Support: Access reimbursement for exam preparation and associated exam costs, along with time off to sit for the exam.
• Career Development: Explore additional professional development opportunities, including the potential to pursue LSIT and Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) licensure.
• Project Variety: Contribute to site development, roadway, parks, stormwater management, floodplain, and public infrastructure projects.
• Collaborative Environment: Work alongside in-house survey professionals and other design specialists, allowing for closer coordination between field data collection and engineering design.
• Regional Exposure: Support projects throughout St. Louis, Kansas City, Missouri, and eastern Kansas, with occasional company-paid overnight travel.
• Flexible Long-Term Potential: Begin on a contract-to-hire basis, with the opportunity for full-time employment or an extended contract depending on performance and business needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop site layouts, grading and drainage plans, roadway and utility designs, and erosion and sediment control plans.
• Perform engineering calculations and hydrologic/hydraulic analyses, including preparation of drainage reports and supporting technical documentation.
• Prepare and revise construction drawings using survey data, topographic information, existing utilities, and other project requirements.
• Research and apply applicable design standards, local regulations, and permitting requirements, including those established by MSD, St. Louis County, and MoDOT.
• Prepare permit applications, respond to agency review comments, and assist with the approval process.
• Complete quantity takeoffs and construction cost estimates to support project planning and execution.
• Coordinate with project engineers, surveyors, landscape architects, other design professionals, and regulatory agencies.
• Participate in site visits and construction observation activities as project needs require.
• Manage assigned tasks, maintain organized project documentation, communicate project updates, and meet established deadlines.
• Review work for accuracy, coordination, and constructability before submitting designs for review.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
• Approximately 2–5 years of relevant experience in civil engineering, land development, site design, roadway design, or similar projects.
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification and a demonstrated commitment to pursuing Professional Engineer (PE) licensure.
• Experience preparing grading, drainage, utility, and erosion control plans, along with supporting engineering calculations.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Carlson, OpenRoads, or comparable civil design software.
• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including the ability to perform engineering calculations, quantity takeoffs, and cost estimates.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across project teams.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with stormwater management design and hydrology/hydraulics software.
• Ability to interpret survey data, identify site constraints, and resolve potential design conflicts.
• Experience preparing technical reports, responding to regulatory agency comments, and supporting construction-phase engineering questions.

Career Opportunity

This position is well suited for a developing civil engineer who wants to strengthen their design capabilities, gain exposure to a variety of land development projects, and work toward professional licensure with guidance from experienced engineers.

The contract-to-hire arrangement provides an initial opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities and establish a working relationship with the team. Depending on individual performance and ongoing business needs, the position may develop into a full-time role or a long-term contract engagement.
