Serve as a key point of contact for clients, contractors, and regulatory stakeholders

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering is required, Master’s degree preferred
Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license (multi‑state reciprocity preferred)
Strong understanding of civil engineering principles, permitting, and construction practices
Demonstrated ability to lead projects and teams in dynamic environments

Experience

12+ years of experience in civil engineering
Proficient with the development of design and construction documents for infrastructure projects
Proven experience with regulatory requirements and permitting associated with infrastructure projects
Background in electric transmission or similar infrastructure projects preferred
Experience using engineering and project tools such as AutoCAD, Hydrology, Hydraulic, Stormwater Management and Project Management software

Technical Responsibilities

Serve as a trusted technical advisor, applying advanced engineering concepts to complex challenges
Evaluate and implement innovative methods, tools, and processes
Analyze projects from a systems perspective with a focus on sustainability and long‑term performance
Stay current on evolving engineering practices and recommend improvements

Management, Supervision, and Guidance

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of engineers, designers, and drafters
Assign work, manage performance, and foster continuous learning
Provide coaching that builds technical capability and professional growth
Promote a culture of curiosity, accountability, and collaboration

Build strong relationships with clients, contractors, and internal partners
Communicate technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences
