    • Apply and follow company graphic standards with moderate proficiency in company design standards
    • Prepare permit applications and bid packages, and help ensure work stays within project schedule and budget
    • Take on occasional client contact and coordination, including attending project meetings with clients, agencies, or contractors
    • Communicate project status regularly to the Project Manager and assist in maintaining CADD standards and details

    What You Bring:

    • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Civil Engineering Technology
    • EIT certification strongly preferred
