Civil / Land Development Engineer / Project Manager
Build Your Career with a Growing Employee-Owned Consulting Firm
LVI Associates is partnering with a nationally recognized multidisciplinary consulting firm seeking a Civil Project Manager to join its growing Land Development team in Toledo, Ohio.
This opportunity is ideal for a licensed Civil Engineer who enjoys leading projects from concept through construction while working directly with clients, mentoring technical staff, and helping shape the future growth of a thriving land development practice.
With a strong regional presence, diverse project portfolio, and employee-owned structure, this firm offers the backing of a large organization while maintaining the collaborative culture and local decision-making that professionals often seek as they advance their careers.
The Opportunity
As a Civil Project Manager, you'll be responsible for leading and delivering a variety of land development and site design projects across commercial, institutional, higher education, mixed-use, and private development sectors.
You'll work closely with clients, municipal agencies, internal technical teams, and firm leadership to successfully move projects through planning, permitting, design, and construction.
This is more than a traditional project management role. The successful candidate will play a key role in client development, proposal strategy, project delivery, and long-term growth initiatives within the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead civil engineering and site development projects from due diligence through construction
- Manage project schedules, budgets, resources, and client expectations
- Prepare and oversee grading, drainage, utility, stormwater, and site development design efforts
- Coordinate permitting and approval processes with local agencies and stakeholders
- Act as a primary client contact throughout project delivery
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and designers
- Support proposal development, scope creation, fee estimates, and pursuit strategies
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, environmental, architecture, and planning groups
- Assist leadership with business development initiatives and identification of new project opportunities
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering
- Professional Engineer (PE) licensure in Ohio and/or Michigan
- 8+ years of experience in land development or site civil engineering
- Demonstrated project management experience overseeing budgets, schedules, and multidisciplinary teams
- Strong knowledge of permitting, entitlement, and development processes
- Experience working with commercial, institutional, higher education, retail, or private development clients preferred
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced consulting environment
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a respected, employee-owned consulting organization with a strong reputation across the Midwest
- Work on a diverse mix of high-profile land development projects
- Clear path toward senior leadership and expanded client-facing responsibilities
- Collaborative culture with access to multidisciplinary expertise
- Strong investment in professional development, continuing education, and career progression
- Opportunity to influence business growth and strategic direction
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary
- Annual bonus opportunities
- Employee ownership program
- 401(k) with company contributions
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Generous PTO and paid holidays
- Parental leave benefits
- Professional development and continuing education support
- Wellness programs and additional employee perks
