CEI Engineering Associates, Inc. is looking to hire a full-time Civil Designer to provide AutoCAD design for our civil engineering company.
Established in 1973, we became a leader in civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture by approaching each project with the same objectives: to help our clients streamline their processes, create efficiencies, avoid costly mistakes, and drive revenue to their bottom line. With offices from coast to coast and a dedicated team of more than 180 professionals, we are a diverse, deeply experienced, and inclusive firm ready to help our clients take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way.
As a team member, you'll be able to enjoy benefits such as Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), Life Insurance, Health Savings Account, Competitive Salary, Paid Time Off, Paid Maternity Leave, Alternative Work Schedule, and Holiday Pay.
The compensation range provided is specific to the geographic market of the posted position. If hired as a remote employee, your salary will be aligned with the applicable compensation range for your primary remote work location.
As a Civil Designer, you play a key role in our civil engineering company. You are tasked with designing complete sets of site development plans that include the site geometry, utilities, grading, and drainage as well as the erosion and sediment control. You do so while sticking close to our client's specifications and to our design standards. You also perform drainage calculations for slopes, sewer design, hydraulic systems, detention ponds, and more.
Working on projects for a variety of industries, you take each design from concept to construction documents by using your excellent skills in AutoCAD Civil 3D. In order to identify potential problems with a project, you analyze surveys and field notes among other materials. By anticipating issues in this way, you keep each project on time and within budget. A motivated self-starter, you complete your redlines and revisions as soon as they are called for and look at the task as an opportunity to perfect your work.
A team player, you collaborate with our project managers to keep them updated on your progress and to work out any challenges that arise. You also pitch in on the design staff wherever you're needed. Your days are busy, but you enjoy your rapport with our team as well as the chance to hone your skills in AutoCAD.
Two or more years of CAD civil design experience is strongly preferred. Certification as an EIT is also preferred.
The civil design position works a full-time hybrid schedule with some overnight travel. The flexibility for how remote the position can be is based on the skills and experience of the employee and the needs of the department.
