Licensed Civil Engineer (3–10 Years Experience)

📍 California – Central Valley

A well-established, privately held civil engineering and surveying firm in California’s Central Valley is seeking a Licensed Civil Engineer (or ability to obtain within 12 months) to join their growing team.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a firm that has built its reputation over 50+ years by delivering high-quality land development projects across the state — while maintaining a stable, team-oriented, family-style culture that is increasingly rare in today’s market.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Long-term stability – decades of consistent growth and no “boom/bust” cycles
  • Diverse project portfolio – residential, commercial, industrial, and multi-family developments
  • True “one-stop shop” – planning, engineering, surveying, and construction support all in-house
  • Hands-on environment – not siloed, not corporate — real ownership of your work
  • Clear path for growth – strong opportunity to advance into senior and leadership roles

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Manage and support land development projects from concept through construction
  • Prepare and review civil design plans using AutoCAD Civil 3D
  • Design and analyze wet utilities and site infrastructure systems
  • Coordinate with clients, municipalities, and internal/external teams
  • Interpret field data and construction plans
  • Oversee project timelines, deliverables, and junior staff

What They’re Looking For

  • Licensed PE (or ability to obtain within 1 year)
  • 3–10 years of civil engineering experience (land development preferred)
  • Strong working knowledge of Civil 3D
  • Experience with site development, grading, drainage, and utilities
  • Ability to manage projects and communicate effectively with stakeholders

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience)
  • Company vehicle for all PE's
  • 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision (employee)
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Relocation assistance available
  • PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Family-oriented, flexible work environment
  • Team events, celebrations, and a genuinely positive culture

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for:

  • Stability without bureaucracy
  • Growth without burnout
  • And a place where you can actually build a long-term career

This is a rare opportunity worth exploring.
