Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own the civil engineering workstream across a multi-site development portfolio from site screening through permitting and construction completion.
  • Lead civil due diligence for greenfield and conversion sites: topography, drainage, utilities, soils, floodplain, and environmental constraints, flagging fatal flaws and cost risks during site selection.
  • Develop and maintain the civil basis of design, master specs, and standard drawings, and establish grading strategies, earthwork balance, and cut/fill sequences for large campus developments.
  • Structure phased delivery with early work packages (mass grading, site utilities, enablement) to accelerate the critical path.
  • Lead civil permitting strategy across jurisdictions: land disturbance, NPDES/SWPPP, floodplain (CLOMR/LOMR), environmental, and utility permits.
  • Manage external civil consultants from schematic through IFC and coordinate civil scope with structural, MEP, fiber, and architectural teams.
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 owned civil engineering on large-scale site development (data centers, industrial, logistics, or power infrastructure), ideally owner/developer-side.
  • You've directed external civil consultants and managed design deliverable quality through IFC.
  • You know grading, earthwork, stormwater, and site utility design cold, plus NPDES and floodplain (FEMA/CLOMR/LOMR) permitting.
  • You've identified civil fatal flaws and quantified cost risk during site selection, not just executed design after the site was chosen.
  • You've coordinated geotechnical investigations and interpreted boring programs into design actions.
  • Bonus: PE license. Hyperscale or energy infrastructure development. Expansive clay, karst, or high water table conditions. MISO/utility interconnection civil coordination. AutoCAD Civil 3D and GIS.
