Lead. Build. Shape the Future of Charleston’s Infrastructure.
An exciting opportunity has opened up for a Civil Site Engineering Leader ready to take the reins of a growing site development practice in the Charleston area. If you're a licensed Professional Engineer with a passion for mentoring talent, developing new business, and delivering high-impact civil projects — this role is your chance to lead from the front.
This is more than a project delivery role — it’s a strategic leadership opportunity. You’ll be at the forefront of planning the group's growth, shaping the culture, and expanding presence in the Lowcountry market. With a strong backlog and a highly skilled team, the foundation is in place. Now we’re looking for someone who can drive it forward.
What You’ll Do
Lead a Section: Guide and manage a multidisciplinary civil site team, setting clear goals and building a high-performance environment
Drive Strategy: Align team initiatives with broader business objectives and coordinate strategic growth plans with senior leadership
Deliver Projects: Oversee all aspects of site design, permitting, and engineering delivery for commercial, institutional, and municipal developments
Grow the Business: Expand market presence through client development, proposal leadership, and pursuit of new opportunities
Mentor the Next Generation: Support junior engineers and designers through coaching, technical guidance, and performance reviews
Staff & Budget Ownership: Manage staffing plans, hiring, and departmental budgeting to meet short- and long-term needs
Be a Trusted Expert: Serve as a senior technical resource and review point for project managers and engineers
What You Bring
✅ Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or related field
✅ Active Professional Engineer (PE) license
✅ 10+ years of hands-on experience in site civil engineering
✅ Proven experience managing projects, leading teams, and engaging in business development
✅ Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, etc.)
✅ Strong interpersonal, leadership, and client-facing communication skills
Why This Role Stands Out
Leadership Impact – You’ll shape a practice with direct access to decision-makers
Strategic Opportunity – Be a key player in a high-growth regional market
High Visibility – Lead signature site development projects that shape Charleston’s landscape
People-Focused Culture – Join a team that values mentorship, collaboration, and long-term development
