Senior Civil Engineering Leader – Mission Critical & Advanced Infrastructure
Texas (Houston, Dallas, or Remote within Texas)

An established and highly respected engineering organization is making a major investment into the rapidly expanding mission-critical infrastructure market and is seeking a senior civil engineering leader to build and lead this new practice from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to shape a high-growth business line focused on hyperscale data centers, advanced energy infrastructure, and next-generation digital development projects.

This role offers the chance to step into a true market-building position with executive-level visibility, entrepreneurial autonomy, and the support needed to create a premier practice in one of the fastest-growing infrastructure sectors in the country.

The organization is actively positioning itself at the intersection of data center development and advanced power infrastructure, including large-scale substations, utility corridors, and emerging energy technologies that will support future digital demand. Leadership is committed to long-term investment in this space and is looking for someone who wants to build something meaningful, influential, and scalable.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Build and lead an entirely new mission-critical civil engineering practice

  • Direct access to executive leadership and strategic decision-making

  • Significant influence over hiring, growth strategy, technical standards, and client development

  • Opportunity to work with hyperscalers, major developers, EPC firms, and advanced energy stakeholders

  • Agile, growth-focused environment with far less bureaucracy than large national firms

  • Strong long-term career trajectory with potential to evolve into Practice Lead or Principal-level leadership

  • Exposure to some of the most transformative infrastructure projects being developed today, including data centers and advanced power systems
What You’ll Lead
This individual will serve as the face of the mission-critical civil engineering practice, helping establish relationships, win projects, and lead delivery efforts across large-scale campus developments and critical infrastructure programs.

Key areas of responsibility include:

  • Growing relationships with developers, hyperscalers, contractors, utilities, and energy partners

  • Leading business development and helping establish the firm within the mission-critical market

  • Directing civil engineering efforts for complex sites involving grading, drainage, utilities, stormwater systems, floodplain considerations, roadway planning, and permitting

  • Supporting integration of substations, transmission infrastructure, and on-site power systems

  • Advising clients on site selection, municipal constraints, permitting strategy, and infrastructure feasibility

  • Building internal teams, mentoring engineers, and shaping technical delivery standards

  • Leading fast-track project execution and representing the firm with clients and municipalities
Ideal Background
The strongest candidates will likely come from senior leadership or project management roles supporting mission-critical, data center, energy, or large-scale infrastructure developments. Experience delivering complex civil/site packages, managing developer relationships, and helping grow business lines will be highly valued.

Experience that aligns especially well includes:

  • Data center or mission-critical campus development

  • Utility-scale infrastructure or advanced energy projects

  • High-capacity utility coordination and permitting

  • Relationships with developers, EPCs, utilities, or hyperscale clients

  • Leadership experience building teams or expanding service offerings

  • Strong understanding of fast-track delivery environments
The Bigger Picture
Demand for digital infrastructure and power-intensive development continues to accelerate nationwide. This organization sees a major opportunity to become a leader in that space and is investing early to build the right team and technical capabilities. For someone who wants to combine business leadership, technical influence, and market visibility, this is a chance to help define the future of a rapidly evolving industry.
