Project Engineer, Municipal Services
About The Position
We’re looking for a Project Engineer who wants more than a narrow slice of design work, someone who wants exposure across the full lifecycle of municipal infrastructure projects and the opportunity to see their work directly shape how communities grow and function. This role offers a rare blend of technical design, development review, capital planning, and public agency collaboration, giving you a broader seat at the table than most traditional project engineer positions. You won’t be siloed—you’ll be trusted to contribute across multiple phases of municipal services and grow into a well-rounded project leader. You’ll work alongside senior engineers, technical specialists, and client stakeholders who value practical problem-solving, responsiveness, and high-quality delivery. You’ll also have direct interaction with municipal clients and occasional on-site involvement, giving you visibility into how decisions translate into real-world infrastructure outcomes. This is an ideal opportunity for an engineer who enjoys variety, autonomy, and meaningful public impact—and who wants to build toward project management or technical leadership in the municipal space. Unlike many Project Engineer roles that focus on a single discipline or phase, this position gives you exposure across three core areas of municipal engineering: Development Review & Land Development – Evaluate private development proposals and ensure alignment with municipal standards and long-term infrastructure needs. Capital Improvement Planning & Delivery – Support planning, prioritization, and execution of public infrastructure investments that shape city growth. Public Infrastructure Design – Contribute to the design and delivery of roads, utilities, and civic infrastructure that directly serve communities.
