Job description

3 Rocks Engineering & Surveying is seeking an experienced civil engineer to lead and grow our civil sector across Southeast Colorado. This is a leadership and business development role at its core — you'll set the direction for how civil engineering grows at 3 Rocks over the next decade, build and develop a strong team around you, and be the face of our civil practice in the market. It's ideal for a civil PE who is energized by leading a team and building relationships

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Sector Growth & Business Development: Own the growth strategy for 3 Rocks' civil sector — build client relationships, lead proposals, and represent the firm in the Colorado Springs/Front Range market and beyond.

• Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 7, including 3–4 direct reports, setting the standard for how our civil group operates and grows.

• Strategic Planning: Partner with ownership on the civil sector's role in 3RE's 10-year growth plan, owning sector-level goals and performance.

GOTTA HAVE IT

• Certification: Professional Engineering (PE) license in Civil Engineering, Colorado licensed (or the ability to obtain a Colorado license by comity within one month).

• Experience: 10+ years of civil engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of leading teams and growing a book of business — not just executing projects.

• Business Development: Proven success generating new work and building lasting client relationships.

• Leadership: Experience managing, mentoring, and developing engineers and project managers.

• Communication: Comfortable being the face of the sector — with clients, at industry events, and in the community.

BONUS POINTS

• Colorado Springs Market: Existing relationships or project experience in the Colorado Springs/El Paso County area.

• Land Development: Experience with residential/commercial site development and entitlements in Colorado.

• Municipal/CDOT Experience: Public-sector or transportation project experience.

• Interest in a long‑term leadership path within the firm as we grow.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Salary: $130,000 – $160,000 base annual salary, based on experience, plus a performance-based incentive tied to sector growth and new business generated — total compensation potential well beyond base for a leader who delivers on growth targets.

• Profit Sharing: Participation in Company Profit Sharing.

• Pre-Tax Benefits: Section 125 cafeteria plan.

• Insurance: Employer-sponsored Health, Dental, and Vision insurance, plus Company-paid Life Insurance.

• Retirement: Retirement plan with Company Match.

• Time Off: Vacation and Sick time (accruing immediately), Company-paid Volunteer Time, Company-paid maternity leave, plus paid parental leave for all employees through Colorado's FAMLI program.

• Perks: Access to the "company garage" of outdoor gear — including our company raft, climbing gear, and mountain bike!
