Job description

Job Details: Job Location: Brunswick, GA 31520, About Us

Coleman Company, Inc. is a multidisciplinary civil engineering, planning, landscape architecture, and land surveying firm based in Savannah, GA. We deliver municipal, residential, commercial, and industrial development projects across the Southeast, known for our technical precision, responsive service, and collaborative approach. Coleman has been recognized as one of Zweig Group's Best Firms to Work For and was recently named the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers' 2026 Mid-Size Employer of the Year.

About the Role

Coleman Company, Inc. has opened up a new office in Brunswick, GA, and we are seeking a growth-oriented and entrepreneurial Civil Project Manager / Engineer to establish our Residential Land Development presence in the Golden Isles. This role is ideal for a motivated engineer ready to step into leadership, client ownership, and market-building responsibility, while staying close to the technical work.

This is a dual role by design. You will manage residential land development projects from concept through construction completion, and you will design them. In a new office with a small team, that means producing grading, drainage, utility, and roadway plans, while also reviewing them. The successful candidate will have at least 5-8 years of residential site design experience and the range to move between running a project and drawing it. As the Brunswick team grows, so does this role as we establish our presence in Brunswick, GA.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a licensed Professional Engineer (or the ability to obtain licensure quickly) with strong technical skills and a passion for leading residential land development projects. The ideal candidate is a confident communicator, proactive problem solver, and collaborative leader who is comfortable in Civil 3D one day and in front of a client the next. Experience with coastal Georgia permitting is a strong plus, as is a desire to mentor the staff we hire around you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage multiple residential land development projects simultaneously, from concept through construction completion
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and work plans to ensure on-time and on-budget delivery, including invoicing and collections
• Serve as primary client contact, maintaining strong relationships and ensuring client satisfaction
• Coordinate with clients, contractors, regulatory agencies, and internal teams throughout all project phases
• Participate in business development efforts including proposals, interviews, and client presentations
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and designers, and assist in workload planning as the Brunswick team grows
• Produce civil designs for residential subdivisions, including grading, stormwater management, utilities, and roadway infrastructure
• Perform and review hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and prepare supporting stormwater reports
• Prepare, review, and seal construction documents, specifications, and cost estimates
• Provide technical direction and QA/QC review of work produced by other engineers and designers
• Lead permitting with Glynn County, the City of Brunswick, Georgia EPD, and the Georgia DNR Coastal Resources Division, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal standards

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Georgia or South Carolina, or ability to obtain within 6 months.
• Minimum of 5-8 years of experience in residential land development design.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D, including roadway design, grading, and utility layout.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong public speaking and presentation skills.
• High moral and ethical character with a strong work ethic and self-motivation.
• Ability to work efficiently, accurately, and collaboratively across multiple disciplines.
• Desire and ability to mentor junior staff members.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary - full-time exempt role
• Professional development support, including PE licensure and continuing education
• Office Hours: Monday-Thursday: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM and Friday: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
