Description:

Are you ready to lead complex infrastructure projects and mentor the next generation of engineers?

We're looking for a Project Engineer with design experience who brings deep technical expertise, strategic foresight, and a collaborative mindset to every engagement. In this role, you'll serve as a senior contributor and technical lead-guiding multidisciplinary teams, influencing client decisions, and ensuring the delivery of high-impact projects in water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation systems.

This is more than a project role-it's an opportunity to
shape the direction of your team, elevate technical standards, and contribute to firmwide growth through mentorship, innovation, and strategic execution.

What You'll Do

you'll lead critical aspects of infrastructure project delivery, including:

  • Lead and support the development and preparation of design plans and deliverables
  • Defining scopes, delivery strategies, and planning approaches aligned with client goals
  • Leading project teams through complex analyses and design work across water and transportation systems
  • Serving as a technical expert and primary quality steward for key deliverables
  • Mentoring early-career engineers and cultivating a learning-centered project environment
  • Communicating directly with clients, stakeholders, and internal leaders to build trust and alignment
  • Driving continuous improvement in design processes, tools, and standards
  • Supporting business development through thought leadership, insight generation, and proposal content

Your role is both tactical and strategic-blending hands-on project leadership with broader contributions to talent and process development.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You...
  • Have 5+ years of engineering water/wastewater system design, stormwater modeling and design, transportation planning/design, and site civil design experience
  • Have experience in working with local municipalities and state agencies (experience with associated design guidelines and standards)
  • Have a track record of delivering technically sound, multidisciplinary projects
  • Hold a Bachelor's degree in engineering (civil, environmental, or related field)
  • Hold an E.I. or PE licensure
  • Lead with initiative and ownership-staying close to the work and owning outcomes
  • Have a strong foundation in project scoping, execution, and client-facing communication
  • Excel at mentoring others and shaping high-performance teams
  • Thrive in environments that emphasize precision, data, process, and innovation
  • Experience with AutoCAD, Civil3D, and/or MicroStation is required.
  • Experience with GIS, CMMS integration is highly valued.

Why Join Us?
We're not your average firm. We're a team that values process, technology, data, ownership, and a growth mindset-in the work we deliver and the way we collaborate. We invest in process and mentorship because we know that's what grows great engineers. Here, you won't get stuck doing busywork-you'll gain real project exposure, responsibility, and guidance to level up your skills and confidence.

Plus, we offer:
  • Highly competitive compensation, profit sharing, and benefits
  • A culture of accountability, curiosity, and teamwork
  • Real opportunities to grow within the company
