  • Licensed Professional Engineer in Oregon, licensure in other states a plus.
  • 8 -15 years of progressive civil engineering experience, with demonstrated leadership on multidisciplinary projects.

  • Deep understanding of civil design standards, stormwater management, grading utilities, and transportation infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with sustainable design practices and regulatory permitting processes.
  • Exposure to project budgeting, scheduling, and resource allocation.
  • Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills, including preparation of technical reports and client presentations.
  • Proven project management skills with ability to lead project teams and coordinate with subconsultants.
  • Established relationships with local and state agencies preferred.


Our Benefits:

We offer competitive compensation and excellent benefits which include:
  • Generous employer contributions into the 401(k), no match required to receive.
  • Company pays 100% of the premiums for health, alternative care, vision and dental for employees and dependents.
