ABOUT CEI ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES

Established in 1973, we became a leader in civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture by approaching each project with the same objectives: to help our clients streamline their processes, create efficiencies, avoid costly mistakes, and drive revenue to their bottom line. With offices from coast to coast and a dedicated team of more than 100 professionals, we are a diverse, deeply experienced, and inclusive firm ready to help our clients take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way.

We employ hard-working people who want to develop and grow along with our company. We also want to help our employees, and their families lead healthy, balanced lives. Therefore, we provide affordable coverage that promotes wellness beyond basic healthcare. By offering competitive pay, excellent benefits, and ongoing training, we foster a supportive environment where our team can excel. Most importantly, we aim to give our employees the opportunity to do what they do best every single day.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PROJECT ENGINEER

As a Project Engineer, you are essential to our ability to provide complete and accurate construction documents and technical reports to our clients. Each day, you arrive at work ready to tackle a variety of civil engineering projects. Drawing on data from surveys, reports, maps, aerial photographs, soil composition tests, and more, you develop a clear understanding of the scope of the project, which you then use to guide and support the design team to create plans. Working with the drafters and EI's gives you the chance to serve as a mentor for our less experienced team members, and you enjoy helping others increase their skills in site design, technical calculations, and reporting; as well as learn and grow in their careers.

As part of your responsibilities, you aid the design team in work with utility companies, governmental entities, and sub-consultants to coordinate everyone's roles in the planning and development of each project. In addition, you will support construction administration efforts, navigating various unforeseen circumstances to keep the project moving. You also monitor a portion of the budget and ensure that the labor and expense costs stay within their forecasted range. Preparing reports is another of your important tasks as you ensure transparency and accuracy in our construction schedules, environmental impact studies, legal documentation, and more. From time to time, you meet with clients and jurisdictions to discuss changes and resolve their questions or concerns. You know how important our clients' input is at every stage of the process and are happy to ensure their satisfaction. As our projects progress, you take great satisfaction in knowing you play such an important role in their success!
