Description GMB is currently seeking a Civil Engineer to join our project teams. Our ideal candidate is a humble and confident civil engineer with a passion for educational design, and at least three (3) years of relevant skills and experience. Why Work with Us? This is the part where most job descriptions jump into the responsibilities and requirements for the role being posted - and we'll get there shortly!

For this role, we are seeking someone with developing knowledge who is able to work on individual tasks mostly independently. Some components that may help indicate you are at this knowledge milestone include more tangible items like: A BS in Civil Engineering Passed FE Exam At least 3 years' experience in site design, grading, utility design and development of construction plans Experience in site permitting such as Stormwater, EGLE Watermain, EGLE Wetlands impact. Experience in AutoCAD Civil 3D and Microsoft office suite Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously What might set you apart from other candidates? Knowledge of Hydraulic Modeling Software such as Civil 3D SSA or HydroCAD Proficiency in field inspections, project management, and technical writing (specs) Experience with sustainable or low impact design Experience in obtaining necessary site permits in the Metro Detroit area Experience working directly with clients We might be a great match for each other if you are: A self-starter with great time management skills who thrives in an environment with team-based decision making. An individual who strives to learn and grow, is motivated by their team's success and works hard to ensure it. Someone who enjoys trying new ideas and constantly improving. What you might also like to know is that: We're an employee-owned company. This means that 100% of the ownership at GMB is held by us as employees. Our creativity, skills, and expertise have a direct impact on our value and growth. Your role as a teammate will have a direct impact on the company's actions and result in a share in its profits.
