Job description
What You’ll Do
Develop civil engineering designs and drawings — site layouts, grading, drainage, utilities, and roadways — using AutoCAD Civil 3D
Help navigate the permitting maze, preparing applications for local, state, and federal agencies (yes, it’s a lot of acronyms — you’ll get the hang of it)
Prepare engineering calculations, feasibility studies, and technical reports that actually inform design decisions
Collaborate with project managers, surveyors, and other engineering disciplines to deliver coordinated solutions
Support stormwater management and drainage design (prior software experience a plus, not a requirement)
Get out of the office for site visits and field inspections to see your designs come to life — and troubleshoot when they don’t quite go as planned
What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
0–3 years of civil engineering design experience (land development or municipal projects preferred, but we know everyone starts somewhere)
Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D and related engineering software
Genuine interest in stormwater management and site development design
EIT certification preferred (or a willingness to get there)
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
Comfort working in a team-oriented, multidisciplinary environment
Motivation to grow professionally and pursue licensure (PE a plus)
