• 7+ years of experience in private land development (residential subdivisions, commercial/multi-family projects, etc.).
• Expert proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D is required.
• Experience with HydroCAD and other stormwater modeling software is highly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage projects and interface with clients, consultants, and public agencies.

• Self-motivated and comfortable in a remote, tech-forward environment.
• Established relationships with local land developers, architects, or real estate professionals
• Proven business development experience and desire to help grow Civilocity's Ohio presence
