Job description

Lead the Practice. Leverage the Integrated Engine. Shape Florida's Horizon.

The Catalyst: Break Through the Operational Ceiling

Stepping into the market as a SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER & LAND DEVELOPMENT LEADER, your greatest bottleneck is rarely the engineering—it is the operational drag of disconnected sub-consultants, corporate red tape, and disjointed drafting teams. Positioned out of your choice of Tampa, Bradenton, or Fort Myers, FL, this mandate represents a strategic inflection point.

Our Client provides the mature, fully integrated multi-disciplinary machine that eliminates delivery friction, allowing you to convert your technical acumen and client trust into true practice leadership and unconstrained project momentum.

The Foundation: Southwest Florida’s Premier Multi-Disciplinary Authority

Our Client stands as the region’s longest-standing, largest locally owned land consulting and design firm. By housing Civil Engineering, Land Planning, Surveying & Mapping, Landscape Architecture, and Construction Administration under one roof, they execute seamlessly where conventional firms stall.

Backed by deep regulatory trust and decades of municipal fluency across Southwest Florida and Tampa Bay, you will serve as a definitive land development leader, spearheading premier master-planned communities, high-profile commercial developments, and vital public infrastructure with unmatched permitting predictability.

The Executive Scope: Where Technical Command Meets Strategic Autonomy

• Direct High-Impact Land Development: Maintain executive oversight and technical authority on comprehensive site layouts, roadway networks, water/wastewater systems, and advanced ICPR stormwater modeling.
• Capitalize on Institutional Clout: Navigate local municipalities, Water Management Districts, and state agencies with the backing of an established firm that helped write the local regulatory playbook.
• Orchestrate Multi-Disciplinary Synergy: Collaborate in real time with dedicated, in-house surveying crews, landscape architects, and urban planners—eliminating third-party delays and protecting project margins.
• Expand and Monetize Client Equity: Leverage the firm’s established balance sheet, deep backlog, and diverse capability suite to lead developer relationships while capturing high-value regional land development mandates.

The DNA: The Blueprint of an Elite Land Development Leader

• Florida Licensure: Active, unencumbered Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Florida.
• Proven Track Record: 5+ years of dedicated experience commanding Florida land development, site design, and agency entitlement processes.
• Technical Authority: Advanced fluency in AutoCAD Civil 3D, ICPR (Interconnected Pond Modeling), and complex agency site plan packages.
• Strategic Leadership Mindset: The vision and client-facing credibility to steer high-stakes projects, mentor rising engineering talent, and maximize the capabilities of an integrated delivery platform.

The Elite Differentiators: Built for Generational Wealth and Autonomy

• Substantial Compensation: Highly competitive base salary of $175,000 - $185,000 plus direct practice performance incentives, 401(k) company matching, and a direct runway toward executive firm leadership.
• Uncompromising Operational Support: Comprehensive healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision), generous PTO, dedicated internal drafting/survey support to safeguard your time, and the geographic flexibility to anchor your practice in Tampa, Bradenton, or Fort Myers.

The Strategic Move: Step Into Practice Leadership

Top-tier civil engineers do not change jobs for marginal gains; they align with platforms that provide superior leverage. If you are ready to command landmark projects as a recognized land development leader backed by Florida's most established integrated design powerhouse, take the next step.
