Permanent/Direct-Hire

A privately held civil consulting practice is seeking a Professional Engineer ready to move out from under a top‑heavy structure and into a true leadership role. This position is ideal for a PE who is already running projects but lacks final say, visibility, or growth upside. You’ll take ownership of engineering delivery, lead a small team, work directly with clients and regulators, and stay hands‑on with design and fieldwork.

There is meaningful autonomy and a clear path to expanded responsibility for someone who wants to build, not just execute.

Work spans civil site design, permitting, wastewater and water‑related infrastructure, combining office leadership with on‑site involvement.

Leading design and fieldwork for civil infrastructure projects; managing client relationships; overseeing a small engineering team; ensuring compliance with regulations; driving project delivery and quality.

• Licensed PE with ~5–10 years of experience
• Currently managing projects but limited in decision‑making or advancement opportunities
• Comfortable leading CAD production and mentoring staff
• Field‑capable, practical, and self‑directed
• Motivated by ownership, accountability, and long‑term leadership
