Lead Professional Site Civil Engineer

About the Role

The role provides high‑level technical assistance and guidance for multi‑site or phase due diligence, investigation, remediation, impact assessment, permitting, improvement, and construction of infrastructure projects in both public and private sectors. Tasks include research, design, concept development, planning, and construction of facilities, roads, buildings, tunnels, dams, bridges, water supply systems, and sewage treatment. All reports and documentation must meet or exceed industry standards for design, safety, and functionality. Key responsibilities include collecting and analyzing data from work sites, surveys, blueprints, GIS, subsurface utility information, hydrologic and geotechnical sources to support project development, design, and construction. The engineer applies civil engineering techniques across concept development, preliminary and final design, procurement, construction, and operation phases. Research and inspections of existing and proposed site conditions ensure conformance with applicable rules, standards, and permits. The engineer develops construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, safety and phasing plans, and updates infrastructure layout plans in coordination with owners, sub‑consultants, and clients. Management of design and construction runs from project inception to completion, covering grading, drainage, pavement design, materials, phasing, and safety plans. Advanced technologies, monitoring devices, modeling techniques, and future‑ready solutions are incorporated to meet design standards and functional requirements. Oversight of cross‑functional teams of engineers, planners, and scientific professionals includes budgeting, tracking hours and expenses, managing material and labor quantities, handling permit applications, and ensuring compliance documentation. The role prepares data visualizations, technical reports, and presentations to convey complex findings and recommendations. Professional interaction with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients, as well as staying current with civil engineering practices, are essential. • Provide high‑level technical assistance for multi‑site due diligence, permitting, and infrastructure construction. • Collect and analyze site data, surveys, GIS, hydrologic and geotechnical information for project development. • Apply civil engineering techniques across concept, design, procurement, construction, and operation phases. • Conduct research and inspections to ensure compliance with codes, standards, and permits. • Develop construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, safety and phasing plans, and coordinate with stakeholders. • Manage design and construction from inception through grading, drainage, pavement design, and safety planning. • Integrate advanced technologies, monitoring devices, and modeling techniques into civil designs. • Oversee cross‑functional teams, monitor budgets, schedules, material quantities, and regulatory compliance. • Prepare data visualizations, technical reports, and presentations for complex analyses. • Lead interactions with regulatory agencies, subcontractors, and clients professionally. • Ensure adherence to QA/QC, health and safety policies, and ethical decision‑making. • Mentor junior engineers and guide project teams with minimal supervision. • Utilize design software (MicroStation, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, etc.) for engineering deliverables. • Perform technical calculations, problem‑solving, and risk mitigation for moderate‑to‑high risk activities.
