Sr Civil Engineer

About the Role

As a key member of the engineering team, the Sr Civil Engineer will work closely with clients, suppliers, business development, estimating, project managers, field operations, and procurement teams to deliver successful project outcomes. This role requires a deep understanding of site-specific conditions, geotechnical information, and interdisciplinary inputs to deliver coordinated civil designs that support efficient construction and project execution.

The Sr Civil Engineer will report to the Director of Engineering/Principal Civil Engineer and will not have direct management responsibilities. However, they will be expected to mentor and support entry-level and associate civil engineers, providing technical guidance, design review, and professional development support.

What You Will Do

• Lead the development and delivery of civil design packages from early design through Issued-For-Construction, ensuring alignment with project Scope of Work, Basis of Design, schedule, budget, constructability, and safety requirements
• Serve as the civil technical lead on assigned solar and BESS projects, providing direction, oversight, and technical decision-making for grading, drainage, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, access roads, foundations coordination, and equipment pads
• Review and interpret geotechnical reports to identify site-specific risks, design constraints, and mitigation strategies, and integrate geotechnical findings into civil design solutions
• Support both Engineer-of-Record led and in-house civil design efforts, ensuring complete, coordinated, and constructible civil deliverables
• Drive interdisciplinary coordination with survey, geotechnical, environmental, structural, electrical, high-voltage, BESS, and construction teams to resolve design conflicts and ensure execution-ready designs
• Lead and perform QA/QC reviews of civil drawings, calculations, and specifications prior to submission and IFC issuance
• Support permitting and AHJ approvals, including review of submittals, responses to agency comments, and coordination with environmental and regulatory teams
• Identify, communicate, and mitigate civil-related cost, schedule, and constructability risks, and lead value engineering efforts to optimize project outcomes
• Serve as a key civil engineering resource during the construction phase, supporting RFIs, design clarifications, field coordination, and change management as needed
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of civil design standards, templates, workflows, and best practices within the organization

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, HydroCAD, Microsoft Word, and Excel
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write clear and detailed technical reports, RFI responses, presentations, and emails
• Strong technical skills, including the ability to understand design criteria, coordinate with internal and external Engineers of Record, and ensure the development of complete and cohesive design documentation
• Ability to work in a collaborative environment and support entry-level and associate civil engineers
• Self-motivation and the ability to balance multiple projects under tight deadlines
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify, communicate, and mitigate civil-related cost, schedule, and constructability risks
• Experience with value engineering efforts to optimize project outcomes
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills, with the ability to provide technical guidance, design review, and professional development support
