Site/Civil Project Engineer

Our client is a national engineering and consulting firm founded in the early 2000s by an engineer who set out to build a practice defined by technical quality, ethical delivery, and genuine investment in the communities it works in. What began as a single Indianapolis practice has grown into a multi office platform with a presence across the Midwest, South, Mountain West, East Coast, and Pacific Northwest, while keeping its headquarters and its cultural center of gravity in Indianapolis. It is a certified DBE/MBE firm and has been recognized as one of Indiana's "Best Places to Work" for eight consecutive years, which tells you most of what you need to know about retention and how people are treated once they are through the door. The WorkCore competencies span civil engineering, landscape architecture, and construction services, with supporting strength in water resources, transportation, and aviation. The civil group delivers a genuinely mixed portfolio: commercial, residential, mixed use, institutional, and infrastructure projects, ranging from private development sites through to public sector and high profile municipal programs. Their delivery model is built around understanding the client's vision first, then applying multidisciplinary expertise and structured QA/QC through design and construction.
