Overview
An established, multi-disciplinary design firm in Boise is expanding its civil engineering practice and is hiring a Senior Civil Engineer to help scale the group. This is a newly created role driven by active project demand and long-term growth plans.
The firm currently has one civil engineer on staff and sees a clear path to building a two-plus-engineer civil group.
