Civil Engineer - Land Development - Downtown Atlanta

Civil Engineer Opportunity

If you're a Civil Engineer who loves seeing a raw piece of land transform into something functional, sustainable, and built to last, this role is for you. We're partnering with a well-established engineering firm in the heart of Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward—a firm that values technical excellence, collaborative problem-solving, and real professional growth. They're looking for a hands-on engineer who wants to own projects from concept through construction, not just sit behind a screen. If you're ready to lead, design, and build the places where Atlanta lives, works, and plays, keep reading.

What You'll Do

You won't just be a cog in the machine. You'll take the lead on land development projects that range from commercial infill to municipal infrastructure. Here's what that looks like day-to-day:

• Own the design process – You'll prepare site layouts, grading plans, drainage and stormwater designs, utility layouts, and erosion control plans. If it goes in the ground or on the plan sheet, you'll have a hand in it.
• Coordinate like a pro – You'll work directly with clients, surveyors, contractors, and your internal team to keep projects moving. Expect to be the person everyone turns to for answers.
• Navigate the permitting maze – You'll assist with regulatory approvals and permitting, making sure your projects stay on track and on budget.
• See it through – From the first concept sketch to the final punch list, you'll manage project delivery with a focus on quality and timeliness.

What You Bring

- A Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering – that's your foundation.

- 4+ years of land development experience – you've been in the trenches and know how sites work.

- Georgia PE license or EIT actively working toward licensure – we're looking for someone who's committed to the credential.

- Solid Civil3D chops – you're proficient and can design efficiently.

- Strong communication and project management skills – you can talk to a contractor, a client, and a city planner in the same day without missing a beat.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't a cookie-cutter job. You'll get:

• A collaborative, supportive team that actually shares knowledge.
• Flexible work hours – they trust you to get the job done.
• Real opportunities for leadership and advancement in a firm that's been around for a while and knows how to grow talent.

Compensation & Location

$90,000 – $105,000 per year, based on experience. Based in Downtown Atlanta (Old Fourth Ward) – no remote option, but you'll be working in one of the city's most dynamic neighborhoods. If you're ready to design the next chapter of Atlanta's landscape, let's talk.
