JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Virtual Site Civil & Land Development Engineer to provide remote engineering and technical support for residential, commercial, and industrial land development projects.

The ideal candidate has practical experience in site civil design, grading, drainage, land development, earthwork, and civil plan review, with the ability to work independently and coordinate effectively with project managers, designers, contractors, surveyors, and other engineering professionals in a remote environment.

This position is primarily focused on virtual technical work, including reviewing plans, preparing and reviewing civil layouts, analyzing grading and drainage, performing quantity takeoffs, coordinating design information, and supporting project development from the office.

Key Responsibilities

Site Civil & Land Development

Review architectural, civil, survey, and site development plans.
Develop and/or review site layouts, grading plans, drainage plans, and earthwork plans.
Analyze existing and proposed site conditions.
Review site access, elevations, slopes, drainage patterns, and constructability.
Assist in preparing land development plans for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Identify potential design conflicts and recommend practical engineering solutions.

Grading & Drainage

Review proposed grading and ensure appropriate slopes and drainage patterns.
Analyze site elevations, contours, spot elevations, swales, channels, and drainage structures.
Review stormwater management and surface drainage concepts.
Evaluate cut-and-fill requirements and earthwork quantities.
Identify potential grading issues that may affect drainage, accessibility, constructability, or project cost.

Geotechnical Coordination

Review available geotechnical and soil investigation reports.
Identify grading and site preparation requirements based on geotechnical recommendations.
Review soil stability, compaction, excavation, fill, and site preparation considerations.
Coordinate geotechnical requirements with civil/site development plans.
Flag potential geotechnical concerns for further review by the appropriate geotechnical professional.

Quantity Takeoffs & Cost Support

Perform civil/site development quantity takeoffs from drawings and specifications.
Quantify earthwork, excavation, fill, concrete, drainage, utilities, paving, and other civil components where applicable.
Assist with estimates, budgets, scopes of work, and bid documentation.
Review contractor or subcontractor quantities and identify discrepancies.
Support project managers and estimators with technical civil information.

Remote Plan Review & Coordination

Conduct detailed technical reviews of drawings, specifications, and project documents.
Provide markups and comments using digital collaboration and PDF review tools.
Coordinate remotely with project managers, architects, engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders.
Attend virtual meetings and provide technical input when required.
Maintain organized project files, calculations, markups, and supporting documentation.
Track design comments, revisions, RFIs, and other technical items.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related field.
Professional engineering license/registration is preferred.
Experience in site civil engineering, land development, grading, drainage, or earthwork.
Strong ability to read and interpret civil, architectural, structural, survey, and geotechnical plans.
Understanding of grading, drainage, site development, and earthwork principles.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects remotely.

Preferred Software Experience
Experience with any of the following is an advantage:

AutoCAD / Civil 3D
Bluebeam Revu
PlanSwift
Microsoft Excel
PDF markup and document management platforms
Civil/site development design software
Quantity takeoff and estimating software
Online project management and collaboration platforms
Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who can work independently as a virtual civil engineering resource and translate project drawings and technical information into practical engineering outputs.

The ideal candidate should have a combination of:

Site Civil Engineering + Land Development + Grading & Drainage + Earthwork + Geotechnical Coordination

You do not need to be a specialist in every area. Strong experience in site development and civil plan review, combined with the ability to coordinate with geotechnical professionals and other disciplines, is highly valued.

What We Value
Technical competence
Attention to detail
Independent decision-making
Problem-solving ability
Clear communication
Ability to work remotely
Strong document and file management
Ability to meet deadlines without constant supervision
Work Arrangement

Work From Home / Remote

This is a primarily desk-based and virtual engineering position. Field work and site visits are not the primary responsibility of this role.

The successful candidate will be expected to have a reliable internet connection, appropriate computer/workstation, and the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with a remote project team.

Application Requirements

Applicants should submit:

Updated Resume/CV
Portfolio or samples of relevant civil/site development work
Examples of grading, drainage, land development, or civil plan review work, if available
List of relevant software and technical tools used
Brief description of previous remote/virtual engineering experience, if applicable
