You belong at SEH

We are currently searching for a talented Civil Engineer IV to join and grow with our West Region team! This position officially reports through our Denver office but will be a remote position with primary focus on Colorado’s West Mountain Region such as (but not limited to) Frisco, Silverthorne, Keystone, Summit County, and Eagle County. Preference will be given to candidates with current residency or A/E/C project experience in any West Mountain town in Colorado.

Your options as a civil engineer are endless at SEH. You’ll engineer better communities -- complete streets, safer sidewalks, more sustainable utilities, and trails and parks. Others specialize in large-scale projects, like flood control facilities, dams, landfills, harbors/marinas, structural retaining walls and larger geotechnical projects. Regardless of the project, you’ll have your hands in the mix through all phases of a project: planning, pre-design, design, contract documentation, bidding and construction. As people walk, drive, bike or commute through a community or across a landscape, your expertise is positively impacting their daily lives.

• Collaborate with engineers, architects, and planners to devise innovative infrastructure solutions suited for mountain environments.
• Facilitate communication between SEH and local government agencies to maintain transparency and alignment throughout project lifecycles.
• Prepare and present project proposals, reports, and updates to local government bodies and stakeholders.
• Conduct site visits to monitor project progress and ensure regulatory compliance.
• Stay updated on regulations affecting infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance in all planning and execution phases.
