Project Engineer I
About The Position
At HR Green, our Civil Engineers don’t just design plans; they help build the roadway and utility infrastructure that supports how people live, move, and connect every day. We’re looking for a Civil Project Engineer for our Land Development Group who’s ready to expand their technical impact and project task ownership as part of a dynamic team of professionals on development projects.

In this role, you will contribute to the design and delivery of projects that include both commercial sites and residential communities, which can include expansion and/or extension of roadways and utility systems to support them. You won’t just be “doing design work” you’ll be influencing how projects are planned and executed and seeing your work move from concept to real world impact. You will be involved in planning, design, permitting, and construction support, gaining experience across the full project lifecycle. You will manage work within project schedules and budgets and play an active role with the clients and municipalities in delivering successful outcomes. In this role, you will have the opportunity to guide junior team members and contribute to the overall success of the team.
