Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own environmental and civil engineering for data center site development: stormwater, grading and drainage, erosion control, and environmental constraints, from first site walk through permits in hand.
  • Drive environmental permitting (SWPPP and construction stormwater, wetlands and waters permits, land disturbance approvals) through agencies and consultants on schedules measured in weeks.
  • Screen prospective sites for fatal flaws (wetlands, floodplains, protected species habitat, contamination findings) before the company commits capital, and kill bad sites early.
  • Manage third-party civil and environmental consultants, holding deliverables to schedule and rejecting work that isn't permit-ready.
  • Coordinate civil design (grading, site utilities, roads, drainage) with structural and architectural scopes so site packages issue complete and build without rework.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've taken industrial or large commercial sites through environmental permitting yourself: you wrote or directed the SWPPP, the delineations, and the applications, and agencies approved them.
  • You've screened raw land for development risk and made the call that saved a project from a fatal flaw.
  • You've worked directly with regulators (the Corps, state environmental agencies, county authorities) and secured approvals without slipping the schedule.
  • You've managed AE and environmental consultants and sent work back when it wasn't ready.
  • You read grading and drainage plans fluently and redline them with specifics, elevations and pipe sizes rather than general comments.
  • You've sequenced environmental compliance against construction speed, satisfying the permit while keeping the site moving.
  • Bonus: PE license (civil or environmental). Data center, solar, or heavy industrial site development. Multi-state permitting. Civil 3D or hydrology modeling tools. Karst, floodplain, or brownfield site experience.
