Civil Engineer EIT

The role

Caesar Engineering is a lean civil and structural firm serving municipal agencies, private developers, and institutional clients from the Greater NYC area to the Capital Region. We're bringing on an EIT to contribute to real project work across civil site design, stormwater, permitting, and construction observation — from day one. This isn't a drafting seat. You'll have direct access to both principals and a clear path toward your PE.

Our work spans two modes: production and advisory. On the production side, you're preparing drawings, calculations, and permit packages. On the advisory side, you're supporting municipal board presentations, feasibility assessments, and master planning efforts for government and private clients. The best candidates will be comfortable moving between both.

Our design work happens remotely. Our field work happens in person. This role involves regular site visits, field investigations, and municipal board appearances within the NYC–Albany corridor — a personal vehicle and comfort with fieldwork are required. The rest of your time is yours to manage from wherever you work best.
