Civil Engineer Designer | Land Development | Civil 3D

If you enjoy the technical side of land development engineering but also want exposure to the bigger picture of how projects move from concept through approvals and construction, this could be a strong long-term opportunity.

An established engineering and consulting group is looking to add a Civil Engineer Designer to their growing Princeton-area team. This group works closely alongside surveyors, planners, and engineers on residential land development projects throughout the region, giving engineers the ability to stay heavily involved in design while gaining exposure to the full development process.

This role is ideal for someone with 5-10 years of civil/site design experience who enjoys grading, stormwater management, utility design, and subdivision layouts and wants to continue growing technically while stepping into more responsibility and mentorship over time.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Grading and drainage design
• Stormwater management and storm drain systems
• Roadway, water, and sewer design
• Sediment & erosion control plans
• Subdivision and land development permitting
• Coordination with internal survey, planning, and engineering teams

What They’re Looking For

• 5+ years of civil engineering/site development experience
• Strong AutoCAD experience (Civil 3D required)
• Experience with land development projects
• Understanding of subdivision design and permitting
• EIT or PE is a plus, but not required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct exposure to large-scale residential development projects
• Clear long-term growth path
• Collaborative team environment
• Hybrid flexibility (3 days/week in office)
• Strong compensation, bonus potential, and benefits package
• Opportunity to work on impactful residential development projects throughout the region

Compensation is expected to fall roughly in the $85k-$110k range depending on experience, with flexibility for stronger candidates.
