Senior Civil Engineer (PE)

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership (Site/Civil): Lead the civil/site design on multiple projects for grading, drainage, stormwater management, and utility systems (storm, sanitary, domestic water, and related appurtenances), ensuring constructability and code/criteria compliance.

Design Deliverables & QA/QC: Direct and review the development of construction documents (plans, profiles, details, and quantities), engineering calculations, and technical narratives/reports. Provide disciplined QA/QC and seal/sign deliverables as appropriate.

Permitting & Agency Coordination: Manage permitting strategy and submittals (e.g., stormwater/SWPPP, site connection/utility approvals, erosion & sediment control) and lead responses to agency comments. Coordinate with applicable agencies and utility providers; NYC agency coordination is highly valued.

Project Management: Manage scope, schedule, budget, and risk for assigned projects. Prepare and track work plans, staffing, and deliverable milestones; support contract change management and internal reporting.

Client-Facing & Team Leadership: Serve as a day-to-day client contact, lead meetings, and communicate technical recommendations clearly. Mentor and direct junior staff and coordinate with other disciplines to deliver integrated solutions.

Business Development Support: Support proposals and interviews by developing technical approaches, scopes of work, assumptions, and fee estimates; help identify follow-on opportunities and initiate new opportunities through strong client service.

Minimum Requirements

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited engineering program.

Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required. Ability and willingness to obtain additional state licensure as needed.

Experience: Typically 8+ years of progressive civil/site engineering experience with demonstrated responsibility leading design and producing permit and construction documents (site design, grading, utilities, stormwater) for public and/or private projects.

Leadership: Proven ability to lead technical teams, manage multiple projects, and communicate effectively with clients, agencies, and internal stakeholders.

Technical Depth: Experience with green infrastructure/stormwater BMPs, hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, and utility conflict resolution in dense urban environments.

Preferred Qualifications

NYC Agency Experience: Strong familiarity with NYC public work and approval pathways (e.g., NYCDEP site connections/SWPPP, NYCDOT roadway/ADA interfaces, NYC Parks/EDC/NYCHA coordination) and responding to complex review comments.

NJ Agency Experience: Familiarity with NJ agencies and approval processes (e.g., NJDEP, SCDs, local municipalities) and preparing/responding to review comments.

Software Proficiency: Proficiency with AutoCAD Civil 3D; MicroStation and stormwater/hydraulics tools such as HydroCAD, Hydraflow/Storm Sewers, HEC-HMS, and/or HEC-RAS are a plus.

Construction-Phase Support: Experience supporting construction administration (RFIs/submittals, field coordination, inspections) and partnering with contractors on design-build or fast-track delivery.

Licensure: Additional active PE licenses (multi-state) and/or ability to quickly obtain comity licensure.
