• Develop consistent marketing materials for multiple offices, disciplines, and project types.
• Partner in the marketing process, understanding campaign goals and helping shape strategy through design.
• Create and evolve graphic assets that strengthen Civil Science’s brand identity and presence.
• Design for print and digital, including infographics, ads, flyers, banners, slide decks, and event materials.
• Support digital initiatives, including web content, social media visuals, animations/GIFs, and other online assets.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of graphic design experience in a professional setting—A/E/C industry experience a requirement.
• A portfolio demonstrating versatility, originality, and strong foundational design skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design preferred (or equivalent experience).
• High proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat.
• Strong communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, technical environment, turning complex ideas into clear, engaging visual content.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Must be able to lift up to 30 pounds at times.
• Ability to set up and participate in activities, which may include squatting, bending, and lifting.
