A well-established and highly respected civil engineering and land development consulting firm in the Lake Hopatcong, NJ area is seeking a Senior Civil Engineer (PE) to join its leadership team.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced engineer who is interested in growing into firm leadership and eventual partnership. The firm has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality engineering services while maintaining long-standing relationships with municipalities and private clients throughout the region.
The incoming engineer will play a key role in project leadership, client management, and mentoring junior staff, while helping guide projects from concept through approvals and construction.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and grow relationships with municipal and private sector clients
- Lead multidisciplinary project teams on land development and civil engineering projects
- Review, approve, and seal engineering plans and reports
- Oversee project schedules, budgets, and deliverables
- Represent projects before municipal planning and zoning boards
- Mentor and develop junior engineering staff
- Support business development and strategic growth initiatives
Qualifications
- Professional Engineer (PE) license required
- 5–10 years of civil engineering experience, ideally within land development consulting
- Experience managing projects and interacting directly with clients
- Comfortable presenting at planning board and zoning board hearings
- Strong leadership, communication, and mentoring skills
- Proficiency with AutoCAD (Civil 3D preferred)
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Clear partnership track for the right individual
- Opportunity to influence firm growth and strategy
- Collaborative, tight-knit team environment
- Strong pipeline of municipal and private development work
- Leadership role with high visibility in the organization
If you're a licensed civil engineer looking to step into a leadership role with a clear path toward ownership, this opportunity offers the platform to do exactly that.
