Civil Engineer – Land Development - Downtown Atlanta

📍 Atlanta, Georgia 💰 $90,000 - $105,000 🏢 Full Time
**About This Opportunity**

If you’re a Civil Engineer who loves seeing a raw piece of land transform into something functional, sustainable, and built to last, this role is for you. We’re partnering with a well-established engineering firm in the heart of Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward—a firm that values technical excellence, collaborative problem-solving, and real professional growth. They’re looking for a hands-on engineer who wants to own projects from concept through construction, not just sit behind a screen. If you’re ready to lead, design, and build the places where Atlanta lives, works, and plays, keep reading.

**What You’ll Do**

You won’t just be a cog in the machine. You’ll take the lead on land development projects that range from commercial infill to municipal infrastructure. Here’s what that looks like day-to-day:

- **Own the design process** – You’ll prepare site layouts, grading plans, drainage and stormwater designs, utility layouts, and erosion control plans. If it goes in the ground or on the plan sheet, you’ll have a hand in it.
- **Coordinate like a pro** – You’ll work directly with clients, surveyors, contractors, and your internal team to keep projects moving. Expect to be the person everyone turns to for answers.
- **Navigate the permitting maze** – You’ll assist with regulatory approvals and permitting, making sure your projects stay on track and on budget.
- **See it through** – From the first concept sketch to the final punch list, you’ll manage project delivery with a focus on quality and timeliness.

**What You Bring**

- A **Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering** – that’s your foundation.
- **4+ years of land development experience** – you’ve been in the trenches and know how sites work.
- **Georgia PE license or EIT actively working toward licensure** – we’re looking for someone who’s committed to the credential.
- **Solid Civil3D chops** – you’re proficient and can design efficiently.
- **Strong communication and project management skills** – you can talk to a contractor, a client, and a city planner in the same day without missing a beat.

**Why This Role Stands Out**

This isn’t a cookie-cutter job. You’ll get:
- A **collaborative, supportive team** that actually shares knowledge.
- **Flexible work hours** – they trust you to get the job done.
- Real **opportunities for leadership and advancement** in a firm that’s been around for a while and knows how to grow talent.

**Compensation & Location**

- **$90,000 – $105,000 per year**, based on experience.
- Based in **Downtown Atlanta (Old Fourth Ward)** – no remote option, but you’ll be working in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.

If you’re ready to design the next chapter of Atlanta’s landscape, let’s talk.
