About the Role

We’re a growing civil engineering firm based in Jacksonville Beach, focused primarily on land development projects across Northeast Florida.

We’re at an exciting stage of growth and are looking for a Project Engineer (EIT) who wants more than just production work — someone ready to think, design, and contribute meaningfully to real projects from day one.

Project Contribution

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Taking ownership of portions of projects independently
• Building familiarity with local codes and standards
• Becoming a reliable technical contributor within the team
