• Prepare permit applications and submittals; respond to review comments and revise plans to approval.

• 5+ years of site development/civil engineering experience.
• Deep knowledge of site design, stormwater management, and erosion control.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD; strong preference for Civil 3D.

• 3% retirement contribution (no match required to receive).
• Bonus eligibility.
• Opportunity for equity/ownership as part of long-term succession planning.

Growth & Impact

This is a hands-on, client-facing role where your designs become real places.
