• Multidisciplinary Integration: Coordinate and lead efforts across various internal disciplines—including surveying, landscape architecture, and structural engineering—to ensure a unified project vision.

• Business Architecture: Drive the growth of the firm by preparing sophisticated proposals, developing fee structures, and identifying new business development opportunities within the Florida market.

• Technical Excellence & Mentorship: Direct the production of high-fidelity engineering plans and specifications, while supervising and mentoring junior engineers and technicians to foster a high-performance culture.

• Operational Control: Utilize advanced project management tools (Vision/Microsoft Project) to track progress, optimize resource allocation, and ensure technical accuracy across all deliverables.

• Regulatory Liaison: Navigate complex local and state permitting processes, applying advanced knowledge of engineering principles to ensure full compliance with all jurisdictional requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.

• Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.

• Experience: 6+ years of progressive experience in civil site design and project management for public and private sectors.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a proven ability to lead client meetings and deliver technical presentations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Regional Expertise: Deep familiarity with Orlando/Central Florida water management districts and local permitting agencies.

• Financial Acumen: Advanced understanding of business financial information, including project profitability and utilization metrics.

• Advanced Mentorship: Previous experience directly supervising a team of 3+ engineers or designers.
