Brief Description
We are looking for a motivated and self-driven Professional Engineer (PE) to join our Land Development team. This is a "bridge" role designed for a newer PE who has mastered the technical fundamentals and is ready to take full ownership of projects.
Core Responsibilities
- Full Lifecycle Management: Lead site civil projects from "start to finish," overseeing initial due diligence, entitlement, design development, and construction administration.
- Precision Engineering: Develop comprehensive site designs, including intricate grading plans and utility layouts for water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage.
- Technical Documentation: Generate high-quality profiles and cross-sections that meet stringent agency standards and ensure constructability.
- Jurisdictional Coordination: Navigate the complexities of various municipalities across the region (and nationally), ensuring all designs comply with specific local codes and permitting requirements.
- Client & Agency Liaison: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for a diverse client base, including national retail brands, industrial operators, and local school districts.
- Project Ownership: Demonstrate a proven track record of taking redlines or conceptual sketches and transforming them into a complete, permitted construction package autonomously.
Technical Requirements & Skills
- Civil 3D Expert: You must know Civil 3D inside and out. We are looking for a "power user" who can build surfaces, pipe networks, and alignments efficiently without the need for additional technical training.
- Advanced Site Design: Direct experience in commercial land development is essential. You must have a deep understanding of site-specific challenges, including parking lot geometry, ADA compliance, and private utility coordination.
- Multi-Sector Versatility: Proven ability to pivot between different project types, such as quick-service restaurants (QSR), automotive dealerships, and manufacturing plants.
- Regulatory Savvy: Strong familiarity with the permitting processes of various municipalities. While we work locally (e.g., Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton), experience with national jurisdictions is a significant plus.
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (Master’s degree is a plus).
- Licensure: Active PE license in Colorado (or eligibility for licensure by comity).
- Experience: 5+ years of relevant experience in land development.
- Software: Mastery of AutoCAD Civil 3D is non-negotiable for this role.
