I'm partnered with a nationally recognised, employee-owned engineering and environmental consulting firm seeking a Practice Leader to help drive the continued expansion of their Land Development business in Celina and the surrounding North Texas market.
This organisation has built a reputation for delivering some of the nation's most complex and high-profile private development projects, with expertise spanning civil engineering, survey, environmental, geotechnical, and planning services. They are known for technical excellence, responsiveness, and an entrepreneurial culture that empowers leaders to build and grow their business.
The Opportunity
This is a strategic leadership role for an established land development professional who wants to play a key part in shaping the future of a growing office. You'll have the autonomy to develop client relationships, grow a team, win work, and lead major development projects throughout one of the most active development corridors in Texas.

- Strong business development and seller-doer mentality
- Experience winning and delivering land development projects
- Strong understanding of site development, grading, drainage, stormwater management, utilities, and permitting
- Existing relationships within the North Texas development community highly preferred
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Employee-owned organisation with a long-term growth strategy
- Opportunity to lead and shape a growing office in a high-growth market
- Access to large-scale, nationally recognised projects and clients
- Significant autonomy and influence within the business
- Strong leadership development and career progression opportunities
- Multi-disciplinary support platform that allows teams to deliver projects from concept through completion
- Entrepreneurial culture where leaders are encouraged to build their own practice and make a lasting impact
