Land Development Project Engineer
About The Position
The Land Development Project Engineer coordinates the technical interface between Land Development and the Production home building team, ensuring lot sizing, engineering, and code requirements align with buildable product. This role performs due diligence and code analysis during the feasibility stage, before acquisition or design commitment, and owns the technical handoff between horizontal (land development) and vertical (home construction) work. By bringing dedicated ownership and continuity to a function currently spread across the Architecture, Land, and Production teams, this role reduces rework, protects the sales schedule, and gives each team a single, reliable technical partner from feasibility through construction.
Requirements
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and/or comparable CAD software (Civil 3D a plus)
- Working knowledge of grading, utility design, and municipal code requirements
- Experience in land development, civil engineering, or residential homebuilding preferred
- Degree in civil engineering, civil engineering technology, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience
