Senior Civil Engineer
IDj-3631
Job TypeDirect Hire
After 10 or 15 years in site design, the engineering itself is rarely the hard part anymore. What wears on people is everything around it. The firm changes hands, the people you liked move on, and the work you pour in ends up building toward someone else's payout.
Our client is an employee-owned design firm in the Greater Boston area. It is an integrated shop, where the architects and engineers work the same projects side by side instead of passing drawings back and forth. Because it is owned by the people who work there, you would hold a stake in the firm, not just draw a paycheck from it. The culture is the part they are proudest of, and it is genuine. People actually like each other and they stay, which is rarer than it should be.
The position is open because a senior civil engineer is retiring. That person was the technical anchor of the group, the mentor the younger engineers went to, and the go-to resource for anything difficult/technical. Our client is looking for someone to fill that same seat: a technical expert who is a teacher at heart.
What you will be doing:
- Lead site design from concept through construction documents on land-development and building projects
- Design and direct stormwater management and utility systems
- Prepare site permitting applications and supporting reports at the local, state, and federal levels
- Issue documents for construction and stay on through construction administration
- Mentor project staff and run internal quality reviews across disciplines
What we are looking for:
- A bachelor's in civil engineering and a PE
- 10+ years in site and land development design
- Command of AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and HydroCAD
- Someone who wants to be the resource the team leans on
