You’ll step into a strong backlog of work with immediate opportunities to make an impact and help expand our presence across the region.

At Civil Science, you won’t just contribute — you’ll have a stake in what we’re building. As a 100% employee-owned company, every success is shared.

• Support business development efforts, including pursuits and client relationship growth
• Collaborate with leadership to expand backlog and market presence
• Mentor junior staff and contribute to team development
• Ensure projects meet quality, risk, and compliance standards

What We’re Looking For

• Strong project management and leadership skills
• Proven ability to act as a primary client interface
• Experience managing public agency projects
