As a locally owned firm, we’ve spent the past 30 years partnering with public and private clients to deliver high-quality engineering solutions across the Pacific Northwest.

If you’re a licensed civil engineer who’s as passionate about great design as you are about strong relationships, we’d love to meet you. In this role, you’ll work with local jurisdictions on major public works and transportation projects—leading everything from technical design to client strategy. This is an opportunity to build lasting partnerships, grow a high-performing team, and make a visible impact in the community.

Build and maintain strong relationships with clients that lead to repeat business and new opportunities
Manage scopes, schedules, budgets, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality work on time
Oversee and contribute to design development using Civil 3D and/or MicroStation
Guide the proposal process and collaborate with our team on winning public sector work
Mentor and grow a high-performing local team of engineers and technical staff


Who You Are

Licensed Civil PE in Washington or Oregon with 10+ years of experience in public works design
Strong communicator with experience presenting to clients and leading stakeholder conversations
Track record of managing large-scale infrastructure projects and multidisciplinary teams
Comfortable with both technical delivery and relationship-building/business development
Skilled at guiding junior staff and creating a collaborative, growth-oriented team culture
Proficient in Civil 3D, MicroStation/InRoads, and MS Office


Nice to Have

Experience with city, county, or state projects in Washington and/or Oregon
Familiarity with WSDOT standards and funding processes
Hands-on proposal development experience
Strong QA/QC background and ability to set quality standards
A passion for mentorship and long-term client partnerships
