Job Description

Join a respected regional engineering firm with nearly 80 years of continuous operation, a stellar reputation with FDOT and municipalities across Florida, and a long-standing commitment to its people. As a 100% employee-owned organization, every employee shares in the growth, stability, and long-term future of the firm. Your career path here isn't just clear-it's yours to shape.

Why This Firm Stands Out

  • 100% Employee-Owned - Build wealth through ownership and be part of a company that puts employees first.
  • Unmatched Stability - Nearly eight decades in business with zero layoffs-even during the 2008 recession.
  • Strong Public-Sector Relationships - 80% county/municipal + 20% FDOT work with deep, lasting client partnerships.
  • Regional Presence, Local Feel - 450 people across multiple states, known for being highly engaged in the communities they serve.
  • Award-Winning Culture - Named a 2023 Best Firm to Work For.
  • Clear Path for Growth - Opportunities to advance into project management, leadership, and ownership roles as the firm continues to expand.
  • Profitable and People-Focused - History of profit-sharing, generous 401(k) match up to 9%, and a family-friendly culture that supports work-life balance.
  • Independent and Proud - Committed to staying employee-owned and never merging or being acquired.

The role:

  • Lead the development of engineering plans and specifications in accordance with FDOT standards.

  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • 5+ years of experience: in transportation engineering with municipal or DOT-related projects
  • Strong communication, organizational, and technical skills
  • Ability to manage tasks independently: while contributing to a collaborative, team-first environment
  • Willingness to travel: within the Florida service area

Preferred: Experience with OpenRoads Designer and/or Civil 3D

Benefits
