Civil Engineer – Site Design & Drafting

Accountabilities:

• • Prepare detailed civil site plans for self-storage, industrial, and multifamily developments while ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory standards, engineering requirements, and project specifications.
  • Develop grading, drainage, erosion-control, stormwater, and utility plans using boundary surveys, topographic maps, and other project information.
  • Perform drainage, detention and retention, earthwork, and cut-and-fill calculations to support effective and constructible site designs.
  • Apply value-engineering principles throughout the design process to identify opportunities to reduce sitework and overall construction costs without compromising project requirements.
  • Prepare detailed quantity takeoffs and provide estimating support to help project teams understand anticipated construction requirements and costs.
  • Produce architectural and building-related drawings, including floor plans, building layouts, elevations, and basic renderings for mixed-unit self-storage and industrial developments.
  • Support contractor bidding activities, including bid preparation and comparisons, permitting coordination, and communication with project stakeholders.
  • Coordinate with contractors and internal project teams to address design and construction needs, maintain clear communication, and facilitate project progress.
  • Provide regular schedule updates and manage priorities across multiple active projects to ensure deliverables are completed accurately and on time.

  Requirements:

  • Hold a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field, with approximately 3–5 years of professional experience in civil engineering, site design, building plans, and coordination with U.S.-based contractors.
  • Demonstrate hands-on experience with grading, drainage, stormwater, utility design, erosion control, and earthwork calculations.
  • Have strong knowledge of U.S. engineering standards, construction practices, and site-development requirements.
  • Demonstrate advanced proficiency in AutoCAD, which is mandatory; experience with Civil 3D is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with HydroCAD, StormCAD, or comparable civil engineering and stormwater design software is an advantage.
  • Be comfortable preparing construction plans and technical drawings based on surveys, topographic information, and project specifications.
  • Have strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and project-management skills, with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Demonstrate the ability to communicate clearly with contractors, project teams, and other stakeholders throughout the design and construction process.
  • Be capable of working independently, managing competing priorities, and delivering accurate work across multiple projects.
  • Be comfortable working remotely on a Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Central Time schedule.

  Benefits:

  • Monthly compensation: $1,500–$2,000 USD, depending on experience.
  • Fully remote work arrangement.
  • Monday–Friday schedule aligned with U.S. Central Time business hours.
  • Opportunity to work on diverse real estate development projects across self-storage, industrial, and multifamily sectors.
  • Exposure to projects spanning the full development and construction lifecycle.
  • Opportunity to contribute to value engineering, cost optimization, estimating, permitting, and contractor coordination.
  • Collaborative environment with opportunities to take ownership of multiple active projects.
  • Potential for professional growth through hands-on involvement in complex U.S. construction projects.
