Site Civil Engineer Visa Sponsorship Jobs in Georgia

INTRODUCTION

Bring your experience. Find your people. Build what matters.

At Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC), we believe great work happens when talented people have the trust, resources, and support to do their best work.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Site Civil Project Engineer/Project Manager, you’ll bring your experience to meaningful projects that shape the communities we serve. You’ll have the opportunity to oversee site civil efforts from concept through completion, collaborate with talented professionals across disciplines, and build strong relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, and government agencies.

Most importantly, you won’t be expected to do it alone. You’ll be surrounded by a multidisciplinary team that values collaboration, shares knowledge, and is invested in your success.

As an Site Civil Project Engineer/Project Manager, you’ll serve as a trusted technical leader, helping guide projects of significant scale and complexity while supporting the people around you.

You’ll:

• Design and oversee site layout, grading, stormwater/drainage, infrastructure, and erosion & sediment control from concept through completion.
• Prepare stormwater management designs and reports, conduct hydraulic and hydrology (H&H) analyses, and develop SWPPPs.
• Manage site civil workflows, project scopes, schedules, and deliverables to ensure projects stay on schedule and meet quality standards.
• Perform QA/QC reviews on civil plans, reports, and project documents to ensure technical accuracy, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of local, state, and agency requirements across all project phases.
• Coordinate with permitting authorities and local officials to secure site-related permits and oversee as-built documentation and platting through project closeout.
• Evaluate complex data, identify project risks, and apply economic and decision-analysis principles to develop practical engineering recommendations.
• Collaborate with clients, project team members, subconsultants, contractors, and government agencies to resolve technical scope issues and respond to regulatory inquiries.
• Lead or support proposals for professional services, including scope and fee development, and help identify funding or new project opportunities.
• Provide technical review, coaching, and mentorship to junior engineers and project staff.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

We’re looking for an experienced Site Civil Project Engineer/Project Manager who is ready to make an impact in GMC in either our Atlanta or Cartersville office. It’s about sharing what you know, learning from others, and helping the entire team succeed.

In this role, you’ll have opportunities to:

• Lead collaboration across disciplines and office locations to make effective use of the firm’s experience.
• Mentor staff and promote sound technical judgment, knowledge-sharing, and GMC standards and Core Values.
• Lead improvements to project-delivery processes, technical standards, and quality practices.
• Contribute to the Client Services team and support the development of long-term client relationships.
• Recommend new techniques and improved processes and actively participate in GMC committees of personal interest.
• Participate in local professional societies and community service initiatives to maintain industry engagement and support the local community.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

You’re an experienced Site Civil Project Engineer/Project Manager who enjoys both the work and the people behind the work.

You bring:

• A commitment to quality, detail-oriented execution, and thoughtful, independent problem-solving.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to share your experience with others.
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• A desire to contribute to something bigger than an individual project.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (or tenured professional in the civil engineering field with a Bachelor’s degree in a related engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited university).
• Minimum of 10 years of site civil engineering experience across a variety of projects, including stormwater system design, hydraulic analysis, and reporting.
• Professional Engineer (PE) License.
• Proficiency in Civil 3D, stormwater design software, and Microsoft Office Suite.

WHERE YOU’LL WORK

This is primarily an office-based role, with opportunities to get out into the field and stay connected to the projects and people you’re serving. This role involves up to 20% field travel—utilizing company cars or rental vehicles—for project site visits, client meetings, professional development, and other company or project-related activities. While in the field, you may be exposed to varying weather conditions, temperatures, construction environments, pollutants, chemicals, insects, and possibly water-borne pathogens, for which appropriate protective clothing and equipment will be provided and required.

In addition to fieldwork, the position includes periods of desk and computer work, as well as occasional bending, twisting, crouching, other physical movements, and lifting up to 25 pounds.

WHY GMC?

At GMC, we believe communities are built by people—not companies. We’re one of the Southeast’s largest privately held architecture and engineering firms, but our size isn’t what defines us. Our people do.

We bring architects, designers, engineers, planners, environmental professionals, surveyors, and disaster recovery experts together to solve complex challenges and create better outcomes for the communities we serve. Our work touches everyday life—from schools, parks, hospitals, and commercial developments to clean water, safe streets, resilient environments, and everything in between.

And while the work matters, how we work matters just as much.

We’re guided by four values:

• Quality — We care deeply about the work we put into the world.
• Integrity — We do the right thing for our clients, colleagues, and communities.
• Creativity — We believe the best solutions come from curiosity, collaboration, and fresh thinking.
• Care — We invest in our people, our clients, and the places we’re fortunate to serve.
