Civil Engineer

Blew & Associates turns raw land into buildable, code-ready sites that power Arkansas communities and renewable-energy projects. As Civil Engineer you will own the design, permitting, and construction-phase engineering that lets survey crews, developers, and solar developers move from dirt to ribbon-cutting without delay. Your stamped plans will be the difference between a project that stalls and one that generates power or homes on schedule.

Performance Objectives

• Produce, stamp, and submit complete civil construction documents (grading, drainage, utilities, erosion control) for at least eight land-development or solar-farm projects per year, achieving first-pass approval from Fayetteville, Washington County, and ADEQ reviewers.
• Reduce client RFIs and field change orders by 30 % through constructability reviews conducted with survey and construction teams before bid.
• Deliver storm-water and hydrology models that meet or exceed local ordinances on every project, documented with supporting calculations ready for third-party audit.
• Coordinate with in-house PLS crews to convert field data into accurate existing-conditions base maps within five business days of survey completion.
• Mentor two junior designers so they independently produce 80 % of plan-set sheets by month 12, measured by peer review scores.
• Close out as-built certifications and final plats for 100 % of assigned projects within 15 days of substantial completion.

Environment & Resources

You report to the Principal Engineer and sit with a 15-person survey-and-design team in our Fayetteville office. You will have full licenses for Civil 3D, HydroCAD, and ArcGIS, a dedicated drone-data pipeline, and a project budget that covers third-party geotech and traffic studies when needed. Decision authority on design alternatives up to $25 k rests with you.

Essential Qualifications

• Arkansas PE (or ability to obtain by reciprocity within 90 days) plus 5+ years producing stamped land-development or renewable-energy civil plans.
• Proven record of first-pass municipal approvals on at least six recent projects of 20+ acres.
• Hands-on proficiency with Civil 3D pipe networks, surface modeling, and quantity take-offs used daily by our survey crews.
• Direct experience coordinating with PLS field teams and converting GPS/drone point clouds into design-ready surfaces.
• Ability to travel to Northwest Arkansas job sites 1–2 days per week for construction observation.

Role Selling Points

• Work on the solar and residential projects that are reshaping Northwest Arkansas—your name is on the plans that get built, not buried in a 200-person firm.
• Direct access to principals; no layers between you and the client or the field crew.
• Stable private company with 20+ years of local relationships and a pipeline that does not depend on public-sector cycles.
• Office culture that values field time and Friday-afternoon plan reviews over endless meetings.
