251-500 employees

At TKDA, a 100% employee-owned engineering firm, you'll actually own a piece of every project you help deliver. We're looking for an experienced Professional Civil Engineer to lead comprehensive utility design and site design projects—from domestic water and fire protection systems to sanitary sewer and stormwater infrastructure. You'll work out of our Downers Grove, Illinois office as part of our Rail division, which provides services for Class I, short-line, and commuter rail projects throughout the country. You'll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams while growing your project management skills and beginning to lead design efforts. One day, you might be working on industrial waste systems, the next, you might be diving into potable water design or complex utility coordination for building projects. This is your chance to expand beyond individual design work. You'll start managing projects from conception through construction, mentor newer team members, and take ownership of both technical and financial project aspects. It's the perfect role for a PE ready to step into leadership while still getting their hands dirty with great engineering work. Ready to join a team where your growth directly impacts your future? Let's talk. Flexible Hybrid Work Schedule - in office Tuesday-Thursday and work-from-home Monday and Friday.
