Full job description

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! But we like to start with the why instead of the what. 

Our purpose is helping build strong communities through educational opportunity. We focus on projects within the educational ecosystem, from Pre-K through Higher Education and spaces in our community that support lifelong learning. Our integrated team gets to work together on a wide range of project types – building design, performance engineering, communications campaigns, branding, enrollment marketing, financial analysis, projections and planning – and we're proud of the impact that our work has on the lives and trajectories of students across the United States. Will you join us? 

As a Civil Engineer with GMB you will:

  • Work collaboratively in a remote-first environment with multidisciplinary design teams on a wide variety of projects in the K12 and Higher Education markets 
  • Produce high quality site, stormwater, grading, utility and erosion control plans using AutoCAD Civil3D and prepare specifications to ensure quality work. 
  • Make engineering decisions by using available existing condition information including Topographic survey, geotechnical report, wetlands delineations, record drawings, and more. 
  • Coordinate with local agencies to derive appropriate designs and acquire necessary permits including but not limited to stormwater, watermain, wetlands, and more. 
  • Communicate with internal teams, clients, construction managers, and jurisdictions regularly regarding any relevant project design, construction, and permitting. 
  • Have opportunities to participate on other leadership and company teams. 

What type of knowledge do I need to succeed in this role?

More than a specific degree and exact number of years of experience, we're most excited about what kind of knowledge you bring. 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.

GMB doesn't operate within a hierarchical pyramid structure; instead, we operate like a network of teams that come together around specific goals working toward our overarching purpose. We think this is a better way to work and help everyone reach their potential.

Finally, at GMB we embrace a flexible workplace that empowers each person to decide where and how they work best. Our inclusive, people-first culture encourages teams to collaborate, communicate and find fulfillment personally and professionally, regardless of location or schedule.

 

This is a full time, permanent position. Salary will be commensurate with experience, including an excellent benefit package. Must have current and continuing right to work in the United States without sponsorship. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.
