Senior Civil Engineer

A nationally recognized, top-ranked engineering and environmental consulting firm is seeking a Senior Site/Civil Project Engineer to join its growing New York team.

This is a leadership-focused opportunity for a licensed PE who wants real ownership of projects, direct client interaction, and a seat at the table in office growth discussions — not just production work.

The Opportunity

You will lead and support land development projects across residential, commercial, institutional, warehouse/distribution, and mixed-use sectors for both public and private clients.

You’ll collaborate closely with senior leadership while guiding technical teams and managing client relationships across the full project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead site/civil design from concept through construction

• Oversee site layout, grading, drainage, utilities, and infrastructure design

• Perform and manage stormwater management design and H&H analysis

• Prepare and review SWPPPs and permitting documentation

• Coordinate with geotechnical and environmental teams to deliver integrated solutions

• Support business development efforts, proposals, and client engagement

• Contribute to office growth planning and team utilization strategy

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering

• 10+ years of land development experience in the NY market

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license

• Strong proficiency in Civil 3D or AutoCAD

• Experience leading projects independently from design through permitting and construction

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Proposal writing and client-facing experience preferred

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Exposure to high-profile, multi-sector development projects

• Collaborative, cross-office environment with strong technical standards

• Clear pathway toward expanded leadership responsibility

• Strong compensation package including comprehensive healthcare, 401(k) match, PTO, license bonuses, and tuition reimbursement
