Job description

The Opportunity : Are you ready to take control of your projects, make real-time decisions, and see your work come to life without layers of red tape?

This opportunity is with a smaller, privately held engineering firm where you have the freedom to lead — not just follow a process.

We’re seeking a Professional Engineer (PE) experienced in Land Development who wants more ownership over their work and direct influence on project outcomes.

You’ll join a team with a strong backlog of private and public development projects, from 1-acre commercial sites to 3,000-acre master-planned communities — valued anywhere from $50,000 to several million dollars.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • More Control. Make decisions without waiting for endless approvals — your judgment is trusted here.
  • Manage Less, Do More. Lead a small, focused team and manage 10–12 projects at once, allowing you to stay deeply involved in both the technical and leadership sides.
  • Lean & Agile Environment. Fewer layers, fewer rules, and more opportunities to drive results.
  • Strong, Stable Backlog. A diverse pipeline of land development projects ensures stability and long-term growth.
  • Rewarding Compensation. Competitive salary range of $120K–$200K + Bonus, reflecting your expertise and leadership.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead multidisciplinary land development projects from concept to completion.
  • Oversee site design, grading, drainage, utilities, and stormwater management.
  • Manage and mentor a small team of engineers and designers.
  • Coordinate with clients, municipalities, and contractors to move projects forward efficiently.
  • Balance technical precision with project deadlines — and have the autonomy to make it happen.
  • Ideal Candidate

  • Licensed Professional Engineer (PE)
  • 8+ years of experience in land development or site civil design
  • Strong technical background in grading, utilities, stormwater, and permitting
  • Proven ability to lead teams and manage multiple active projects
  • Looking for a long-term home where performance, not bureaucracy, drives success
  • Join a Firm Where You Can Truly LeadIf you’re tired of being just another cog in a big machine, this is your chance to make a real impact — on your projects, your team, and your career.

    Let’s talk. Reach out confidentially to learn more about this opportunity.

    All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other status protected by applicable laws or regulations.
