The role will involve a variety of site development work, including site planning and layout, grading, drainage and stormwater systems, utility design, erosion and sediment control, permitting, and construction support.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop civil engineering solutions for site development projects from initial concepts through final design
• Produce and review technical drawings and plans covering site layout, grading, drainage, utilities, stormwater, erosion control, and construction details
• Complete engineering calculations and evaluate design solutions related to site grading, drainage, stormwater systems, utilities, and other civil infrastructure
• Work collaboratively with project managers, engineers, surveyors, architects, technicians, clients, consultants, contractors, and regulatory authorities
• Prepare supporting engineering documentation, including technical reports, specifications, permit materials, cost estimates, and other project deliverables
• Assist with projects throughout their various stages, including planning, design, regulatory approvals, bidding, and construction
• Review design work and technical deliverables produced by junior-level engineers and design personnel
• Act as a technical resource for junior staff, providing direction, feedback, and professional development support

• Attend project sites and assist with field assessments, investigations, inspections, and construction-related activities
• Assess technical challenges and develop effective, practical solutions that can be successfully implemented in the field
• Build and maintain positive professional relationships with clients, internal teams, consultants, contractors, and regulatory agencies
• Represent the firm through participation in relevant industry, professional, and community activities
• Take on additional responsibilities as required to support project and team objectives

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related engineering field
• Minimum of four years of professional civil engineering experience, ideally focused on site development, land development, or comparable infrastructure work
• Hands-on experience producing civil engineering plans for grading, drainage, stormwater, utilities, and erosion and sediment control
• Background working on a range of development projects, such as commercial, industrial, institutional, residential, municipal, or mixed-use sites
• EIT certification is required for consideration at the CE II level, while an active Ohio PE license is required for the CE III level
• Understanding of applicable permitting procedures, engineering standards, and regulatory requirements at the local, state, and federal levels
• Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D and Microsoft Office applications; familiarity with hydrologic and hydraulic modelling programs is beneficial
• Previous experience coordinating technical assignments and checking or reviewing work completed by junior engineering and design staff
• Ability to assist with project planning, budgeting, scheduling, quality assurance, and preparation of client deliverables
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical documentation
• Strong organizational and interpersonal skills with the ability to manage responsibilities independently
• Comfortable working as part of a multidisciplinary team and collaborating with professionals across different technical disciplines
• Able to safely access construction areas and project sites while adhering to required health and safety procedures

Benefits
