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.

- 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.
