If you enjoy

complex land development , take pride in clean, constructible plans, and want to be more than “just another CAD seat,” this role puts you squarely in the driver’s seat.

Apply advanced

CAD standards and Civil 3D functionality

Plan, schedule, and coordinate the technical aspects of multiple projects simultaneously

Support Project Managers with schedules, budgets, and technical input through project completion

Perform

quality control reviews

prior to external submission

Identify and resolve technical issues independently, with minimal oversight

Stay current with

local, state, and federal regulations

impacting land development projects

Mentor and train junior designers, technicians, and interns as needed

Leadership & Mentorship This role may include

Opportunity to be a

Long-term stability with room to grow
