  • Manage external civil consultants from schematic through IFC and coordinate civil scope with structural, MEP, fiber, and architectural teams.

  • 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.
