Civil Engineer – Site Development

Full-Time | Kansas City Area or Wichita, KS (Hybrid/Remote Flexibility)

Build Meaningful Projects with a Team That Truly Invests in You

This is an opportunity to join a growing, employee-owned design firm where collaboration is real, leadership is accessible, and career growth is intentional—not promised vaguely and forgotten later. The firm is known for taking on complex, high-impact projects nationwide, investing heavily in technology, and fostering a culture where people genuinely enjoy working together.

If you’re a Civil Engineer who enjoys seeing projects through from concept to construction—and wants to be part of a team that values both technical excellence and human connection—this role is worth a closer look.

The Role

The Civil Engineer is responsible for site analysis, planning, and design for commercial, institutional, and retail developments. This role is hands-on and highly collaborative, involving work across multiple offices and projects throughout the country.

You’ll engage directly with clients, consultants, and municipalities throughout the full project lifecycle—from early concept and design through permitting, construction, and closeout.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with internal teams and external clients on project requirements, concept development, and design presentations
• Perform site analysis, research jurisdictional requirements, and navigate municipal, state, and federal regulations
• Prepare site layouts, grading plans, erosion control, stormwater management, and utility designs
• Conduct site visits and field measurements to validate existing and as-built conditions
• Coordinate with municipal officials, regulatory agencies, and authorities throughout the permitting process
• Work closely with multidisciplinary teams and subconsultants on drainage, traffic, utilities, survey, and land-use considerations
• Prepare detailed engineering calculations and construction documents
• Assign and coordinate work with technicians and administrative staff
• Support project management tasks including scheduling, consultant coordination, and client communication
• Participate in construction administration, contractor meetings, field inspections, and drawing reviews

What Makes This Company Stand Out

• Employee-Owned Culture: Every team member has a stake in the firm’s success—voices are heard, and politics take a back seat to collaboration
• Leadership That Listens: Senior leadership actively seeks employee feedback and stays connected at a personal level
• Exceptional Growth Opportunities: Expanding teams, a diverse national project portfolio, and clear paths for advancement
• Industry Recognition: A global leader in highly specialized and design-forward projects, including internationally recognized work
• Technology-Forward: Significant investment in modern tools and systems to support innovation and efficiency
• Flexible Work Environment: Strong remote flexibility that supports work-life balance
• Competitive Compensation: Market-aligned pay with long-term growth potential

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited program
• Licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in at least one U.S. state
• 5+ years of experience in civil/site development engineering
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Microsoft Office
• Strong understanding of site permitting processes and regulatory requirements
• Ability to manage multiple projects, meet deadlines, and work both independently and collaboratively
• Willingness to travel to project sites and perform field inspections as needed
