Civil Engineer Operations Management

Engineer of Record – Florida (Forensic + Civil Leadership Role)

Stratum House | Remote but within the state of Florida (Florida License Required)

Stratum House is expanding into Florida and seeking a senior-level Professional Engineer to serve as Engineer of Record and technical leader for the state platform.

This is a foundational leadership role designed for a forensic-minded engineer who also brings strong civil site development experience in multifamily and subdivision projects.

This position is remote, with Florida licensure required and periodic in-state meetings as needed.

We are building a disciplined, opinion-driven engineering platform focused on quality, documentation integrity, and scalable systems — not a volume-based design shop.

• Multifamily site development
• Subdivision and commercial land development
• Review, approve, and stamp plans
• Standardize CAD workflows and QA/QC processes
• Oversee due diligence and feasibility studies that convert to design engagements
• Participate in construction administration when fee and risk profile are appropriate

Strategic & Operational Leadership

• Set annual state-level priorities and margin targets with executive leadership
• Lead quarterly planning and monthly financial reviews
• Establish pricing standards and enforce minimum fee discipline
• Maintain KPI scorecards and reporting standards
• Recruit and mentor senior engineers and project managers

Qualifications

• Active Florida PE license: (required)
• 10+ years progressive engineering experience
• Strong forensic investigation experience preferred
• Civil site development experience in multifamily and subdivisions required
• Expert witness experience strongly preferred
• Strong written report capability and courtroom composure
• Financial literacy and operational discipline

Compensation

Stratum House is building a high-discipline, defensible engineering practice designed for long-term enterprise value — balancing forensic integrity with repeatable civil development work.
