Civil Engineer

Civil Engineer (5–10 Years) – Site Development | Baton Rouge or New Orleans

If you’re ready to move beyond just “doing design work” and start owning projects, influencing outcomes, and building communities—this is your lane.

A well-established, locally respected firm where your work doesn’t get buried in bureaucracy. Here, you’ll take the lead on diverse, high-impact civil/site projects across Louisiana—working with both public and private clients while collaborating with a sharp, tight-knit team that actually enjoys what they do.

What You’ll Be Building

• Civil/site designs for residential, commercial, and industrial developments
• Water distribution and wastewater collection systems that serve growing communities
• Stormwater systems including drainage modeling, culverts, ponds, and reservoirs
• Roadway geometry and site layout that shape real-world infrastructure

What You’ll Own

• Full-cycle project involvement—from concept through construction and closeout
• Grading, drainage, sewer, and geometrics design
• Permitting, zoning coordination, and agency approvals
• Engineering reports (drainage studies, site selection, preliminary reports)
• Hydrologic/hydraulic modeling and stormwater analysis
• Cost estimates, bid support, and contractor coordination
• Construction-phase activities (RFIs, submittals, problem-solving in real time)
• Client interaction, public meetings, and project presentations

Why This Role Stands Out

• Variety + impact – no cookie-cutter projects here
• Visibility – your work and ideas are seen, heard, and implemented
• Growth track – clear path to senior leadership and project management
• Local influence – shape developments in communities you actually know

What You Bring

• BS in Civil Engineering
• PE license (LA) or ability to obtain
• 5–10 years of civil/site design experience
• Strong skills in AutoCAD Civil 3D or MicroStation
• Experience with grading, drainage, utilities, and permitting
• Familiarity with tools like HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, SWMM, PondPack, LADOTD HYDR is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate with clients and teams

The Perks

• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, life insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Generous PTO, holidays, and sick leave
• Opportunity to work closely with leadership and grow your career intentionally

This is the kind of role where you don’t just design projects—you leave your mark on the landscape.
