Be Clever With Us!

Unravel why and how building systems, infrastructure, and their components failed.

------------ Update - 2026 2nd Quarter ------------

We are actively seeking new full-time team members that are Civil Engineers with a Professional Engineer registration for our North Tampa office and/or in South Florida.

Experience in our niche of civil engineering is not required, but it is helpful to have experience in either civil/infrastructure, structural, or geotechnical engineering. Experience with field work such as construction phase interaction with designed/engineered improvements is also helpful. The ability to seek insight from and learn from other team members is critical to building your ‘toolbox’ and enhancing your career path and opportunities.

These roles are an excellent step up opportunity for mid-level or new PE’s. If you are confident that you can be involved in more areas of our engineering firm’s business than your current role has pigeon holed you into, we are looking forward to talking with you.
