Civil Engineer-in-Training - Land Planning Market

Our Land Planning market follows a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates the combined expertise of civil engineers, landscape architects, planners, and surveyors. We excel at projects both large and small in scale—whether it’s creating site plans for a development, designing public spaces and bike/pedestrian paths, or incorporating green, low-impact features that help improve a community’s quality of life. We invite you to join us!

Responsibilities:

• Plan, schedule, conduct, or coordinate civil engineering work.
• Conceptualize the initial design approach for major phases of land planning projects.
• Support senior engineers by performing elementary engineering assignments and collaborating on the designs within the team.
• Design and produce conceptual plans and specifications for design projects involved in site layout, grading and drainage systems, stormwater management, paving, and utility design.
• Assist in the preparation of improvement plans, specifications, supporting documents, and permit applications for subdivisions, commercial developments, multi-family developments, and public works projects.
• Check, interpret, and revise engineering drawings, engineering reports, plans, and specifications for major projects.
• Conceive, plan, and conduct research in problem areas while resolving a variety of problems (e.g., conflicting design requirements, unsuitability of conventional materials, difficult coordination requirements).
• Participate in contract bidding and administration. Supervise and observe the design and ongoing progress of a project, including the coordination of the project with the city, state, and county officials and other outside agencies.
• Coordinate projects with clients, contractors, outside consultants, and firm staff. Communicate and interact with project team members, client representatives, review agencies, and others as appropriate to the project.
