Civil Engineer- Site Development

Job Duties and Responsibilities: Perform civil site development tasks including due diligence, preliminary design, quantity take-offs, and estimating to respond to development client’s feasibility and site planning needs. Utilize AutoCAD Civil 3D to prepare site plans, bid packages, and earthwork calculations. Utilize GIS for hydrologic analysis, terrain analysis, and managing municipal infrastructure data. Utilize software, past projects, and industry best practices to efficiently calculate takeoff quantities, engineering cost estimates, and prepare preliminary construction schedules. Collaborate with project stakeholders to gather project specifications, technical requirements, and relevant information to ensure effective execution of project deliverable. Analyze project risks and uncertainties that could impact costs, collaborating with team members and planning department to identify potential mitigation strategies. Assist in the preparation of bid packages, proposals, technical reports, and other deliverables as needed. Offer insights and recommendations on value engineering opportunities to optimize project while maintaining quality standards and constructability. Continuously refine internal processes, tools, and workflows to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and consistency. Stay informed about industry best practices, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes that impact civil engineering. Maintain clear and concise documentation of projects from kickoff through project closeout. Investigate local, state, and federal regulatory requirements to ensure project compliance. Proactively self-review deliverables and make corrective changes as necessary. Report to Director of Engineering and collaborate with other members on the engineering and planning teams. Support civil engineering projects, from concept planning through construction administration (including site risk assessment, bid package development, and final project closeout): site development, municipal engineering, and transportation engineering. Other duties as assigned.
