[Hiring] Civil Engineer @HireLATAM

Role Description

Our Client is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Civil Engineer to join their dynamic remote engineering team. The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on drafting capabilities in AutoCAD and Civil 3D with specialized expertise in site layout design, stormwater drainage modeling, hydrological calculations, and quantity take-offs. Functioning as a technical engine for US development projects, this professional will collaborate directly with US contractors, navigate local municipal and state civil regulations, and ensure designs are feasible, cost-effective, and fully compliant.

Key Responsibilities

• Site Design, Civil Layouts & Drafting:
  • Develops and oversees detailed site design and grading plans for various development projects, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulatory standards.
  • Performs site feasibility analyses and spatial constraints reviews to inform pre-development design decisions.
  • Utilizes AutoCAD and civil drafting platforms to generate structural layouts, elevation designs, and visual site renderings.
  • Conducts accurate material and earthwork take-offs to support project budgeting and pre-construction estimating.
• Stormwater Management & Drainage Engineering:
  • Designs and develops comprehensive stormwater management and drainage plans tailored to specific site topography and environmental requirements.
  • Executes detailed hydrological and hydraulic calculations using industry-standard engineering software to validate pipe sizing, retention basins, and runoff capacities.
  • Prepares complete technical documentation and drainage reports for regulatory submission and permit approvals.
• Contractor Collaboration & Technical Project Support:
  • Works closely with US-based general contractors and construction managers to verify that civil designs are practical, cost-effective, and buildable.
  • Provides technical guidance and engineering support during construction phases, resolving site inquiries and Requests for Information (RFIs) promptly.
  • Coordinates with multi-disciplinary stakeholders (architects, MEP engineers, and project managers) to ensure seamless integration of civil components into master development plans.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field from an accredited university.
• 3–5+ years of active experience in civil engineering, with a focused concentration on site layout design, stormwater management, and US civil development standards.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD is mandatory; strong practical familiarity with specialized civil software (e.g., Civil 3D, StormCAD, HydroCAD) is essential.
• Demonstrated experience performing manual and software-assisted drainage calculations and compiling formal engineering reports.
• Solid understanding of US civil engineering codes, municipal zoning frameworks, environmental regulations, and contractor workflows.
• Advanced written and spoken English skills, capable of discussing technical engineering concepts clearly with clients, contractors, and project leaders.
• Full commitment to working standard US Central business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM CDT).
• High-performance computer capable of running CAD applications, webcam, headset, and a reliable high-speed internet connection.

Preferred

• Hands-on proficiency with advanced civil engineering software tools (e.g., Civil 3D, StormCAD, HydroCAD).
• Prior experience acting as a project management assistant or liaison within vertical real estate development or land development firms.

Benefits

• $2,200 USD predictable monthly base salary for a dedicated, full-time remote role.
• Direct involvement in full-cycle U.S. development and civil engineering projects.
• Work alongside a vertically integrated construction and design team.
• Reliable full-time schedule executed entirely from home in Latin America.
