  • Provide guidance and technical oversight to CAD designers and junior engineers.
  • Track project schedules, budgets, deliverables, and overall progress.
  • Review geotechnical, environmental, traffic, and other third-party studies as they relate to the civil design.
  • Support projects during construction, including RFIs, submittal reviews, site observations, and field-related design issues.
  • Review project documents for technical accuracy and quality.
  • Assist with client relationships and future project opportunities.
What We’re Looking For
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering
  • Active Texas PE license – required
  • 4+ years of civil/site development engineering experience
  • Strong AutoCAD and Civil 3D experience
  • Experience with H&H, stormwater and drainage design
  • Knowledge of Houston-area development and permitting requirements
  • Experience working with agencies such as City of Houston, Harris County, Fort Bend County and/or TxDOT
  • Ability to independently manage engineering assignments and coordinate multiple project stakeholders
  • Strong communication and client-facing skills

Compensation: $100,000–$150,000 depending on experience.

This is a full-time, onsite opportunity in Houston for a Civil PE looking for a role that combines technical design, project ownership, and opportunities to take on greater responsibility.
