## The Role

Take industrial power sites from raw land to operational pad. You own civil design, site works and permitting for each new location, working hands-on in the field and with the contractors who build it. This is a founding-team seat building critical infrastructure from the ground up.

## What You Will Run

- Lead civil site design: grading, drainage, stormwater, access roads and pads
- Coordinate geotech, foundations and utility routing for modular infrastructure and substations
- Design hydrology, storm drain and gravity wastewater systems; run stormwater models (StormCAD, CivilStorm)
- Prepare and manage civil permits: erosion and sediment control, SWPPP and permit approvals
- Research AHJ requirements in each new jurisdiction across the US, Canada and Mexico
- Support site due diligence, master planning and site selection for new locations
- Manage civil contractors and surveyors; review and stamp drawings
- Own scope, budget and schedule; run QA/QC on civil deliverables
- Mentor EITs and junior engineers as the team grows

## What It Takes

- BS in Civil Engineering; PE preferred (any North American jurisdiction)
- Site development experience on industrial, data center, energy or utility projects
- Proven track record taking sites from design through construction with field ownership, not design review only
- Direct experience on hyperscale, colocation, AI data centers, semiconductor or heavy industrial campuses
- Familiarity with permitting and stormwater requirements across North America, starting with Texas
- Proficient in Civil 3D
- Based in North America and willing to work on site; Houston, TX is home base
- Authorized to work in the United States
- Willing to travel to power sites, vendor factories and customer locations
- Able to work safely in factory, construction and live data center environments (PPE, LOTO, site safety rules)
- Clear written and verbal communication with engineers, vendors, contractors and leadership
- Comfortable in an early-stage company where priorities and scope change quickly
- Able to pass a background check (required for secure-site access)

## About Our Client

A self-performing contractor designing and building AI compute infrastructure. The team is small, senior and hands-on. Every seat is player-coach: you do the work personally on version one, then build and run the bench. They hire for accountability, speed, comfort with ambiguity and a bias to get things done.

## What’s Offered

Direct ownership of your function with a short path to leadership. Compensation range to be confirmed by the hiring manager.
