• Assist in evaluating field issues and recommending practical solutions in coordination with senior engineers and municipal clients
• Contribute to project closeout activities and help ensure construction aligns with approved plans and specifications

Team Collaboration & Development

• Work closely with experienced engineers and municipal professionals in a collaborative environment that supports continued technical and professional growth
• Take increasing ownership of assignments while receiving mentorship aligned with Artheon’s commitment to internal advancement and PE-track development
• Participate in professional development initiatives and contribute to a team culture focused on quality, responsiveness, and long-term client relationships

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
• 2–5 years of relevant experience in civil, municipal, or site/infrastructure engineering
• Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification required
• Demonstrated progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure, with the goal of obtaining licensure within approximately 6–12 months
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort participating in or supporting public meetings and municipal coordination
• Ability to manage multiple assignments, work collaboratively, and contribute effectively in a client-service environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience reviewing or designing projects involving municipal infrastructure, transportation, stormwater, water/wastewater, or land development
