Civil Project Manager (PE or PE-Track) – Land Development / Site Design

Central Virginia | Base $140K–$150K + OTE up to $165K | Relocation Provided | Hybrid Flexibility


Civil engineers know the best projects start with the best people.

If you’re ready to step into a leadership role shaping Central Virginia’s growth — and make your mark across communities from Charlottesville to Lynchburg, Richmond, and Roanoke — this is a rare opportunity that combines career advancement, project ownership, and quality of life.

Join a respected civil engineering and land development firm known for designing the infrastructure that defines how Virginia grows. From residential and mixed-use developments to municipal infrastructure and private-sector site design, you’ll manage meaningful work and mentor a talented team that values precision, collaboration, and results.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead land development and site design projects from concept through construction.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop engineers and designers.
  • Review, prepare, and certify/stamp engineering plans and reports (or assist if PE pending).
  • Oversee grading, stormwater, utilities, and roadway design.
  • Serve as the primary client contact for coordination, permitting, and delivery.
  • Control proposals, budgets, and schedules with full project accountability.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (required).
  • 6+ years of civil/site design or land development experience.
  • Virginia PE license (or active EIT on the PE track).
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
  • Leadership mindset and strong client-facing skills.

What You’ll Get

  • Base $140K–$150K + OTE up to $165K, depending on experience.
  • Full relocation package to Central Virginia.
  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k).
  • Hybrid flexibility with a local project focus.
  • Career path to Senior PM and Department Manager.
  • A supportive culture built on mentorship, autonomy, and community impact.

Why Central Virginia?

Central Virginia offers the best of both worlds — vibrant engineering projects and a balanced lifestyle. You’ll find challenging land development and infrastructure work without the gridlock or cost of Northern Virginia. Scenic surroundings, short commutes, and thriving local communities make this region an ideal place to live, lead, and build your career.
