Sr. Designer - Land Development

Senior Civil Designer
Residential & Site Development | Civil 3D Power User

The Opportunity
This is a lead designer role supporting large-scale residential and site infrastructure projects for one of the most active development platforms in the country. You’ll be the go-to technical expert—owning design, driving standards, and mentoring others—while working closely with engineers and project managers to deliver projects that actually get built.

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.

What You’ll Be Doing
As a Senior Civil Designer, you’ll function as the technical backbone of project teams, leading design from concept through final deliverables.

Key responsibilities include:

Serve as lead designer on residential and site infrastructure projects

Develop, modify, and review Civil 3D models, grading plans, drainage, and utility layouts

Apply advanced CAD standards and Civil 3D functionality to produce high-quality, consistent deliverables

Interpret project criteria and coordinate with Engineers, Designers, Technicians, and subconsultants

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 supervisory responsibilities , including mentoring staff, assigning work, reviewing performance, and contributing to team development—all while maintaining high technical standards.

What They’re Looking For
Required Background

Associate degree or equivalent from a technical or two-year college

Certification in CAD software with advanced AutoCAD Civil 3D expertise

10+ years of CAD/Civil 3D experience

5+ years focused on detailed land development design

Strong understanding of grading, drainage, utilities, and site constraints

Comfortable working independently and within a multidisciplinary team

Proficient with Civil 3D, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Office

Preferred

GIS experience

Proven ability to train and mentor others

Willingness to continue expanding technical and leadership responsibilities

Why This Role Stands Out

High project volume with real-world impact

Strong internal engineering support and resources

Opportunity to be a technical leader , not just a production drafter

Long-term stability with room to grow
