What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering

• Strong civil/site and land development background

• Experience managing projects, clients and design teams

• Strong understanding of AutoCAD Civil 3D

• Comfortable understanding and reviewing the technical work while delegating design production

• Strong leadership, mentoring and client-facing skills

What’s Offered

• $115,000 - $145,000, depending on experience
• Flexible schedule, including a four-day, 9-hour workweek option to earn half-day Fridays
