Civil Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts

STAFF CIVIL ENGINEER

You’ve learned the fundamentals. Now put them to work.

Boston, MA | Downtown Boston | Full-Time

You've spent the last few years learning how civil engineering works. Now it's time to work on projects where it actually matters.

Beals Associates is looking for a Staff Civil Engineer with 3–5 years of experience who is ready to take the next step — gaining greater project responsibility, working directly with experienced engineers and clients, and seeing projects through from initial concepts to construction.

This isn't a role where you'll disappear into a massive organization and own one tiny piece of a project. You'll be part of the action.

ENGINEERING WITH A VIEW OF THE BIG PICTURE

Beals Associates is a Boston-based planning, engineering, permitting, and project management firm founded in 1983. We work throughout Massachusetts and the Northeast on residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and other complex development projects.

Our projects range from multi-family developments and commercial properties to large industrial facilities, corporate campuses, athletic facilities, renewable energy projects, and major mixed-use developments.

We've been the civil engineering and permitting team behind projects including Boston Landing and The TRACK at New Balance, as well as major industrial, life sciences, solar, and cultural developments.

At Beals, you'll see how engineering decisions connect to real estate, construction, permitting, environmental considerations, budgets, schedules, and client goals. That's the difference between simply doing engineering work and becoming a great project engineer.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

As a Staff Civil Engineer, you'll take an increasingly active role in the design and delivery of land development projects.

You'll have opportunities to:

• Develop and advance civil engineering designs for commercial, industrial, residential, and multi-family projects
• Prepare grading, drainage, utility, roadway, and stormwater management designs
• Develop detailed plans and construction documents using Autodesk Civil 3D
• Perform engineering calculations, analyses, and technical research
• Prepare and contribute to permitting packages and technical reports
• Coordinate with architects, surveyors, environmental consultants, contractors, clients, and regulatory agencies
• Participate in project meetings and permitting discussions
• Conduct site visits, field investigations, and construction observations
• Assist with responding to agency comments and advancing projects through the regulatory process
• Help move projects from concept → design → permitting → construction
• Work directly with project managers and senior engineers while taking increasing ownership of your assignments
• Contribute ideas and solutions when projects inevitably become more complicated than they looked on paper

Beals' engineering practice spans the full development process, including site design, stormwater management, utilities and infrastructure, permitting, construction observation, and regulatory coordination.

WHAT YOU BRING

We're looking for an engineer who has built a solid foundation and is ready for more.

Required / Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from an ABET-accredited college or university
• 3–5 years of civil engineering experience, preferably involving land development/site design
• EIT certification; progress toward a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license is strongly encouraged
• Strong knowledge of Autodesk Civil 3D
• Experience with site development plans, grading, drainage, utilities, and/or stormwater management
• Familiarity with local, state, and federal permitting processes is a plus
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent organization and attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple assignments and deadlines
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a small team
• A desire to take ownership, solve problems, and keep learning

MORE RESPONSIBILITY. MORE EXPOSURE. MORE OPPORTUNITY.

At Beals, your career path isn't hidden behind layers of management. Our experienced professionals work directly with project engineers and help them develop their technical, project management, permitting, and client-facing skills. The firm's project engineers are involved in research, design development, permitting, computer modeling, field inspections, and construction-related work as they progress toward professional licensure.

With 3–5 years under your belt, you should be ready to do more than produce plans. We want you to start thinking like a project engineer. That means understanding why a design works, anticipating problems before they become expensive, communicating your ideas clearly, and understanding what it takes to get a project approved and built.

WHY JOIN BEALS?

Small team. Big projects. Real opportunity.

You'll have the chance to work alongside experienced professionals on challenging projects while developing a broad understanding of the land development industry. Our culture is built around being driven, motivated, creative, and relentlessly focused on our clients' goals. And you'll do it from our office at 2 Park Plaza in downtown Boston, overlooking Boston Common, with easy access to public transportation.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary
• Medical and dental insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Paid holidays
• Paid vacation and sick time
• Professional growth and advancement opportunities
• Exposure to the complete land development process
• Direct access to experienced engineers and project leaders
• A collaborative small-office environment
• Downtown Boston location overlooking Boston Common
• Easy access to public transportation

READY FOR THE NEXT STEP?

If you're a civil engineer with 3–5 years of experience who is ready to take on more responsibility, work on projects that make it out of the drawing set and into the real world, and build toward the next stage of your career, let's talk.
