Job description

Project Civil Engineer (Site / Land Development)

Locations: Austin, TX or Dallas, TX

A highly respected, nationally recognized civil engineering and environmental consulting firm is seeking a Project Civil Engineer to join its growing team in Texas.

This firm partners with major developers, institutional clients, and large infrastructure programs across the country. With a strong national presence and collaborative culture, they offer engineers the opportunity to work on meaningful, high-impact projects across a wide range of market sectors.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, work on diverse projects, and continue to grow both technically and professionally, this is worth a closer look.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead and support the planning, design, and permitting of land development and infrastructure projects
• Perform hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and modeling (HEC-RAS experience preferred)
• Design site layouts including grading, drainage, utilities, and erosion & sediment control
• Prepare and review engineering reports, plans, specifications, and cost estimates
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while staying on schedule and within budget
• Coordinate directly with clients, agencies, and internal teams
• Contribute to proposal efforts and support client development initiatives
• Mentor and guide junior staff as part of a collaborative team environment

What They’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in site/civil or land development engineering
• Strong background in stormwater management, drainage design, and hydrology/hydraulics
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Experience with HEC-RAS preferred
• Knowledge of local Texas land development processes and regulations
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred (or on track)
• Strong communication skills and ability to work both independently and within a team

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Exposure to a wide variety of project types including commercial, mixed-use, healthcare, education, and infrastructure
• Collaborative, team-oriented environment with strong mentorship and training
• Opportunity to take on increasing responsibility and grow into leadership
• Access to resources, technology, and support typically found at top-tier national firms
• Strong emphasis on employee development, flexibility, and long-term career growth

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary + bonus potential
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Generous PTO and paid leave programs
• Tuition reimbursement and professional development support
• Flexible work environment and strong work-life balance focus

Final Thought

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than just a job. If you're looking to grow, take on meaningful responsibility, and be part of a firm that invests in its people, this could be a strong next step
