Our talented team of 500 professionals takes pride in a collaborative approach that ensures project success for clients and communities. With a passion for top‑quality solutions and cost‑effective outcomes, our experts thrive personally and professionally.

Who is Sunrise Engineering?

We hold 25 offices across the states of Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho committed to creating solutions that work and relationships that last. Join our dynamic team at Sunrise Engineering to make a meaningful impact on future‑shaping projects.

Responsibilities

A Civil Engineer-in-Training (EIT) provides both strategic and operational support to Service Center Managers throughout the organization. A day in the life of a Sunrise engineer-in-training (EIT) is never the same as you work with a range of differing projects. Essential to our team, you’ll work on a variety of projects from start to finish—helping project managers set budgets, basemap existing sites and utilities, collect field data, and lay the groundwork for successful designs. EITs play a key role in developing feasibility studies, master plans, and conceptual designs while turning ideas into detailed plans that clearly communicate design intent to contractors and owners. You’ll get hands‑on experience preparing drawings, grading and pipe layouts, hydrologic and hydraulic models, roadway designs, specifications, and impact analyses, and much more. Along the way, you’ll also gain valuable field experience through construction observation and administration—helping you connect design with real‑world results and grow toward professional licensure.

Qualifications

A solid, reliable colleague. Verbal and written communication skills with both clients and your team are essential for EITs. You will collaborate with various engineers, contractors, and stakeholders to ensure the seamless integration of design elements, details, changes, and full execution of projects. A good EIT is a great communicator, accountable, teachable, and responsible. In this position you will feel ownership over your project, drawings, and plans, especially as you see them get built in real life and move from cradle to grave in the project life‑cycle.

Certified and Experienced. For this role, we are looking for someone who knows their stuff. A four-year degree from an accredited civil engineering program, passed your FE exam, and Civil 3D/CAD experience will make you a very strong candidate.
