Job Description

REMOTE CIVIL ENGINEER – LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY (PHILADELPHIA REGION)

Senior Site Design & Permitting Expert

Location: Remote (Must live within 1–2 hours of Philadelphia, PA)

Salary: $120,000–$145,000 DOE + Full Benefits

Focus: Land Development | Project Leadership | Career Growth

Are you an experienced civil engineer tired of outdated firms, rigid schedules, and projects that don’t inspire?

Join a remote-first firm that’s forward-thinking, flexible, and built for engineers who want to do meaningful work on complex land development projects—without micromanagement or red tape.

We're looking for a senior-level professional ready to lead high-impact projects across Pennsylvania and mentor a top-tier team.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead site design and permitting strategies for commercial, industrial, residential, and retail projects

  • Manage and mentor a remote team of engineers and designers

  • Present to municipal boards, clients, and regulatory agencies

  • Oversee project delivery, timelines, and budgets

  • Build strong, lasting client relationships

  • Shape firm-wide standards and help drive long-term success

Note: While the role is fully remote, attendance at town meetings, site visits, and occasional in-person meetings is required. Candidates must live within 1–2 hours of Philadelphia.

What You Bring

  • 15+ years of experience in civil/site design and permitting

  • Deep knowledge of Pennsylvania land development processes

  • Strong communication and leadership skills

  • Proven ability to manage clients, teams, and complex projects

  • Comfortable presenting to public boards and stakeholders

  • Passion for mentorship and continuous improvement

  • Proficiency in Civil 3D or similar tools

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Fully Remote – Work from anywhere within the region

  • Flexible Hours – We trust professionals to manage their time

  • Complex, Meaningful Projects – Never boring or repetitive

  • Supportive, No-Drama Team – Collaboration is the norm

  • Leadership Opportunity – Play a major role in a growing firm

  • Transparent, People-First Culture – Your input is valued
