• Provide hands‑on leadership to a team of engineers and technicians, fostering collaboration, creativity, and accountability.
• Mentor emerging engineers, supporting professional growth and long‑term career development.

• Plan, schedule, and coordinate engineering activities for multiple major projects—or own a project end‑to‑end.
• Serve as Project Manager on select assignments, overseeing scope, schedule, budget, quality, and stakeholder communication.
• Analyze and refine project management plans to ensure feasibility, efficiency, and alignment with client and organizational goals.
• Apply risk management principles to anticipate challenges and deliver projects successfully.

• Develop and implement new techniques, tools, and processes to elevate quality, performance, and efficiency.
• Stay current on emerging technologies, standards, and industry trends—and translate them into practical project solutions.
• Evaluate projects from a systems and sustainability perspective, considering long‑term performance, operations, and environmental impact.
• Champion continuous improvement across design methodologies and internal processes.

• Work closely with internal teams, clients, and external partners to ensure seamless project delivery.
• Clearly communicate technical concepts, decisions, and project status to diverse audiences.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of civil engineering experience with strong applied design and project delivery expertise.
• Demonstrated experience leading teams (minimum of 2+ direct reports), including task assignment, technical review, and coaching.
• Proven experience in civil engineering design for land development, industrial facilities, power generation, and/or solar projects.
• Strong project management skills, including scheduling, coordination, budgeting, and resource planning.
• Experience analyzing complex project management plans and managing delivery risks.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Willingness to travel 5%–10% for site visits or collaboration as needed.

• Professional Engineer (PE) license (civil) strongly preferred.
• Experience in power generation, renewable energy, or solar projects.
• Experience in industrial and large‑scale land development projects.
• Comfort working with minimal supervision under broad objectives.
• A strong interest in sustainability, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Why Join Us?

• Flexible, remote‑first role with opportunities for in‑person collaboration (preference for Pittsburgh or Virginia‑based candidates).
• Make a tangible impact in a stable and expanding power generation sector, driven by data centers and renewable energy growth.
• Lead meaningful projects that balance technical rigor, sustainability, and long‑term performance.
• Work with a team that values curiosity, creativity, dependability, and professional growth.
