About the position

The Senior Civil Engineer will play a crucial role in the design and execution of commercial and multifamily residential projects. This position involves working as part of a design team and directly under licensed Engineers to ensure that site-civil designs align with project objectives, schedules, and budgets. The successful candidate will be responsible for performing engineering tasks in the site/civil engineering field, which includes developing a comprehensive understanding of applicable design criteria, regulatory requirements, standards, and processes relevant to the projects at hand. In this role, the engineer will demonstrate the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, showcasing flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic work environment. Responsibilities will include conducting site visits, gathering data, reviewing and interpreting existing site plans, survey mapping, and ensuring compliance with agency regulations.
