Armed with a wealth of project experience and an in-depth grasp of municipal requirements, the Egis team has expertise in the municipal approvals process.

Tailoring our approach to the specific nature of the development, we meticulously prepare engineering documents necessary for submission.

  • Secure and expedite approvals by preparing and reviewing technical reports, drawings, and submissions for subdivisions, site plans, zoning amendments, and environmental approvals.
  • Oversee project financials including budgeting, forecasting, invoicing, and contract administration; negotiate consultant and contractor agreements and manage change orders.
  • Provide construction-phase leadership, including shop drawing reviews, responses to RFIs, progress certifications, field inspections, and resolution of technical and contractual issues.
  • Mentor and develop staff, providing guidance to intermediate engineers, technologists, and interns to build technical capability, project management skills, and client service excellence.
  • Assist with and actively participate in business development initiatives including identifying opportunities, preparing proposals, developing fee structures, and delivering client presentations; actively contribute to expanding client portfolios and securing repeat work.
  • Strengthen market presence by attending industry events, fostering relationships with municipal officials, developers, and contractors, and promoting the firm's expertise in sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
  • Promote innovation and sustainability, integrating Low Impact Development (LID), green infrastructure, and resilient design principles into project solutions.
  • Ensure rigorous quality control across all project phases, reviewing designs for constructability, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness prior to submission.
  • Monitor and interpret industry trends and regulatory changes, proactively advising clients and teams on their implications and incorporating best practices into project execution.
