• Designing and delivering civil/site projects – grading, stormwater, water and wastewater systems.
• Taking ownership of project components or entire projects.
• Partnering with internal teams, clients, and municipalities to solve real-world challenges.
• Leading or contributing to QA/QC efforts to ensure high-quality, buildable designs.
• Supporting projects through the full lifecycle from early planning through construction.
• Mentoring junior engineers and elevating the team.

Qualifications

• Degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering.
• Licensed EIT required or PE (or ability to obtain soon).
