We believe where you work matters. Our Sacramento office offers a collaborative atmosphere with plenty of natural light, an on-site fitness center with showers, complimentary loaner bikes to enjoy nearby trails, great restaurants within walking distance, a game room, putting green, and an outdoor BBQ area for team celebrations.

This role is eligible for a $20,000 sign-on bonus, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's sign-on bonus program.

What You’ll Do:

  • Lead a talented team of engineers and technical professionals delivering infrastructure projects from early planning and design through bidding, construction, and closeout.
  • Oversee project delivery with a focus on schedules, budgets, quality, staffing, and strong communication across clients, consultants, and internal teams.
  • Serve as a trusted partner to clients by understanding their needs, solving problems proactively, and delivering practical, value-driven engineering solutions.
  • Mentor, coach, and develop staff while fostering a collaborative team culture built on quality, accountability, and professional growth.
  • Support regional growth through thoughtful business development, networking, proposal strategy, client presentations, and long-term relationship building.
  • Partner closely with division leadership on strategic planning, client development, operational priorities, and growth initiatives throughout the western U.S.
  • Play a key role in talent development, succession planning, and building a sustainable leadership bench for continued office and regional success.
  • Help refine and execute the Sacramento office’s business growth plan, daily operations, and profitability goals while aligning with broader corporate objectives.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration in California, or the ability to obtain California licensure.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration in Nevada is a plus.
  • 15+ years of progressive civil engineering experience, ideally with a mix of technical delivery, project leadership, client management, and team development.
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage complex priorities, and build trusted relationships with public- and private-sector clients.
  • Strong project management experience, including proposals, scopes, budgets, schedules, QA/QC, and successful execution of engineering projects.
  • A people-first leadership style with a track record of mentoring staff, supporting career growth, and creating accountability without losing collaboration.
  • Experience with strategic planning, client development, operational oversight, and growing a book of work or regional practice.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, strong business judgment, and the ability to represent the firm with professionalism and credibility.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

  • A high-impact leadership role in a growing Sacramento office with strong local momentum and regional support.
  • Work alongside experienced leaders in a culture that values growth, mentorship, and giving employees the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of a well-established local practice.
  • Flexible schedule that supports both client service and work-life balance.
  • Medical, dental, vision, and HSA options.
  • Generous PTO to recharge and maintain balance.
  • 401(k) plan with employer contribution.
  • A chance to grow with a company recognized for strong client retention, strategic growth, and continued expansion in the AEC industry.
