Civil Design Engineer - Home Builder / Developer

POSITIONS AVAILABLE IN PHOENIX, AZ, HOUSTON, TX, SEATTLE, WA, and LAS VEGAS, NV

BACKGROUND

Our client is an award-winning national homebuilder and real estate development firm. They are most well known for their subdivisions and master-planned communities, and with a recent acquisition, they are expanding their footprint as a multi-family and commercial site developer.

Six years ago, they piloted a program to develop their own in-house civil engineering team. This program has garnered tremendous success, and they are rolling out this model on a national basis, targeting markets such as San Antonio, Austin, Phoenix, Tampa, and Orlando.

Outside engineering consultants will still be utilized due to the large volume of development projects, allowing the hiring of support staff without being overloaded during the initial growth of this newly created engineering arm of the company. This creates a more sustainable practice and stable job security in a cyclical market.

Expansive growth and a range of services will provide opportunities for individual and team growth within the organization. A close working relationship with operations and land development teams provides professionals great learning opportunities to experience the full cycle development process, from land acquisition and feasibility engineering through completion of site and home sales.

This newly created Engineering Division supports the Land Development Division by providing feasibility on potential acquisition tracts, including key feasibility coordination for drainage studies, TIAs, environmental studies, engineering cost estimates for development, design and construction schedules, development proformas, and preliminary agency coordination for permitting and development timelines (MUD / City annexations, etc.). Responsibilities include :

• Design and permitting of development infrastructure
• Platting and planning coordination

In the future, our client plans to offer H&H services by hiring key personnel for in-house drainage analyses for drainage outfall planning and detention systems related to small and large phase developments, floodplain assessments & mitigation, drainage studies for agency review & approvals, LOMR / CLOMR reports, etc.
