About The Role

This role is ideal for a motivated engineer ready to step into leadership, client ownership, and market-building responsibility, while staying close to the technical work.

This is a dual role by design. You will manage land development projects from concept through construction completion, and you will design them.

As the Brunswick team grows, so does this role as we establish our presence in Brunswick, GA.

We are looking for a licensed Professional Engineer (or the ability to obtain licensure quickly) with strong technical skills and a passion for leading land development projects. The ideal candidate is a confident communicator, proactive problem solver, and collaborative leader who is comfortable in Civil 3D one day and in front of a client the next.

• Coordinate with clients, contractors, regulatory agencies, and internal teams throughout all project phases


• Participate in business development efforts including proposals, interviews, and client presentations


• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and designers, and assist in workload planning as the Brunswick team grows


• Produce civil designs, including grading, stormwater management, utilities, and roadway infrastructure


• Perform and review hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and prepare supporting stormwater reports


• Prepare, review, and seal construction documents, specifications, and cost estimates


• Provide technical direction and QA/QC review of work produced by other engineers and designers


• Lead permitting with Glynn County, the City of Brunswick, Georgia EPD, and the Georgia DNR Coastal Resources Division, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal standards

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field.


• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Georgia or South Carolina, or ability to obtain within 6 months.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.


• Strong public speaking and presentation skills.


• High moral and ethical character with a strong work ethic and self-motivation.
