• Develop grading, drainage, stormwater, earthwork, and site infrastructure solutions.
• Collaborate closely with landscape architects, architects, and other consultants.
• Help translate ambitious landscape concepts into thoughtful, buildable solutions.
• Prepare grading plans, technical drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
• Support permitting, agency coordination, and construction administration.
• Mentor junior staff and contribute to the growth of our civil engineering capabilities.

Qualifications:

• 10–15 years of civil engineering experience, ideally within or alongside a landscape architecture practice.
• California PE license or ability to obtain one.
• Strong experience with grading, drainage, stormwater, and site development.
• Experience with public-facing landscapes, parks, streetscapes, civic spaces, campuses, or similar projects.
