Job description

We are seeking an experienced Project Engineer (Civil E3) to serve as the technical lead for our civil site development team. You will own the technical side of our projects, with a primary focus on commercial civil site plans, residential subdivisions, and local utility design. You will also lead a team of five engineers and drafters: setting the design approach, scheduling and assigning their workload, reviewing and mentoring their work, and making sure what leaves our office is right. A dedicated project manager handles project scope, schedules, budgets, and client communication, and business development is handled separately, so your time goes to design quality, production, and developing your team. This position can be based in any of our offices (Cañon City, Colorado Springs, Buena Vista, or Trinidad), or remotely from Pueblo until our Pueblo office opens next summer.
