Ready to Make an Impact?

On behalf of a client in the engineering sector, we are seeking a Senior Civil Engineer to serve as a technical leader on water, wastewater, stormwater and drainage, and roadway infrastructure projects.

This is a hands‑on design role for an experienced professional engineer who wants to stay close to the technical work – leading the engineering behind the projects, setting the design approach, solving complex technical problems, and making sure the final product is sound, buildable, and built to last – rather than focusing on program and project management.

The Work You Can Do:

As a senior civil engineer, you'll be a go‑to technical resource within a collaborative team of engineers, designers, and project managers, guiding municipal infrastructure projects from concept through construction.

Your Work May Include:

• Leading the design and analysis of water distribution, sanitary sewer, stormwater, drainage, and roadway infrastructure
• Performing and overseeing hydrologic and hydraulic analyses and modeling
• Preparing, reviewing, and sealing engineering calculations, plans, specifications, technical reports, and construction cost estimates
• Developing and directing the development of construction plans and design documents in AutoCAD Civil 3D and other design software
• Serving as the technical authority on quality‑control reviews of calculations, plans, and deliverables
• Evaluating existing plans, survey data, utility information, and record drawings to inform design decisions
• Leading the technical development of local, state, and federal permit applications and coordinating with regulatory agencies
• Conducting site visits and field investigations to assess existing conditions
• Providing engineering support during construction, including submittal reviews, RFI responses, site observations, and resolution of field issues
• Providing technical input on project scopes, schedules, and fee estimates
• Mentoring and developing engineer interns, junior engineers, and designers

The Teammate Our Client Is Looking For:

• Is a true technical expert who enjoys the design work itself
• Has a track record of designing water, sewer, drainage, and roadway projects that have been built
• Sets high standards for technical quality and holds the team to them
• Solves complex problems with sound judgment and practical solutions
• Enjoys teaching and sharing expertise with less experienced engineers
• Communicates technical issues clearly to clients, agencies, contractors, and team members
• Can balance multiple projects and priorities without losing sight of deadlines or details
• Is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana or willing to relocate

What You’ll Bring to Their Team:

• A bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or a related engineering discipline from an accredited program
• An active Professional Engineer (PE) license, with Louisiana registration or the ability to obtain it through comity
• 8 or more years of civil engineering design experience
• Demonstrated experience designing water, wastewater, stormwater/drainage, and roadway projects for municipal or public clients
• Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Experience with hydraulic and hydrologic modeling softwareyl}
• Thorough knowledge of applicable local, state, and federal design standards and regulatory requirements
• Strong technical writing, analytical, and problem‑solving skills
• A valid driver’s license and ability to travel to project sites as needed
• Experience in water, sewer, and drainage design is strongly preferred
