Job description

With nearly 500 professionals across 23 offices, this firm has grown from a modest surveying company in 1978 to one of the region’s most trusted engineering & consulting service providers. Their multidisciplinary team delivers a wide range of services — civil/site design, GIS, natural-gas infrastructure, building code support, community-development and training — all anchored by an unwavering commitment to the values of integrity, teamwork and long-term relationships.

Our client partners closely with municipalities, utilities, private developers and industrial clients to bring meaningful solutions to complex problems: from concept to construction, from water and sewer systems to grading, drainage, and public-works infrastructure. Their culture emphasizes the importance of taking care of their staff so they can, in turn, deliver exceptional results — making this a place where career growth, technical challenge and team collaboration truly coexist.

Service Center Manager – Civil Engineering

Join a dynamic engineering team in the Las Vegas metro area (Henderson, NV) where you’ll take the lead of a civil engineering service center, drive business development, build teams and deliver meaningful infrastructure solutions.

What you’ll do:

• Plan, organize and oversee all activities of the service center: operations, business development, staffing, project delivery and client relationship management.

• Lead the civil engineering department: mentor engineers, designers, interns and other staff; provide coaching and development; foster a high-performing, collaborative culture.

• Identify, develop and manage client relationships—both maintaining existing accounts and securing new work to expand the service center’s footprint.

• Oversee project production and quality: ensure deliverables meet scope, schedule and budget; review proposals, track key performance indicators (KPIs), coordinate cross-department resources and monitor operational effectiveness.

• Serve as the entrepreneurial face of the service center: collaborate with the vice president or senior leadership as a trusted advisor; analyze business performance, trouble‑shoot challenges and implement strategic improvements.

• Ensure compliance with company policies, safety plans and project safety protocols while maintaining high standards of client service, team morale and operational excellence.

What you bring:

• Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (or equivalent) along with a valid Professional Engineer (PE) license in Nevada.

• 10+ years of experience in civil engineering projects—demonstrated expertise across water, sewer, grading/drainage, transportation and land-development.

• Proven business development prowess: ability to win new projects, nurture client relationships and grow revenue.

• Strong leadership, mentoring and team‑building skills—comfortable managing staff at multiple levels (intern to PE) and driving performance.

• Effective communication skills—both verbal and written—capable of collaborating with clients, internal departments and project teams.

• High level of organization, attention to project detail (scope, schedule, budget) and ability to manage multiple priorities.

• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset—eager to lead a service center as a business within a business and help shape its growth.

What you’ll get:

• Four weeks of PTO (with one week already banked for immediate use on day one).

• 401(k) plan with company match and full vesting from day one.

• Nine paid holidays—choose which ones matter to you.

• Comprehensive benefits including health, dental and vision, plus a company HSA match.

• Company-sponsored term life, short-term disability, long-term disability, cancer and accident insurance.

• Tuition reimbursement and mentorship opportunities aligned with your growth and professional development.

• Incentive bonus program structured to reward high performance and support your entrepreneurial role.
