WithersRavenel is recruiting a Project Engineer I to join our expanding and innovative Design + Planning Practice Area!

Are you passionate about projects like Civic Spaces, Parks, Greenways, Streetscapes and other public realm projects? We are looking for a Project Engineer I to join our multidisciplinary 30+ member Design+Planning team. This is a great opportunity to work in a collaborative culture, mentor, support and grow your team, and deliver quality solutions to clients on time and within budget. WR is employee owned and puts an emphasis on professional development and training wherever you are on your career journey.

This is a hybrid role and is based out of our downtown Raleigh, NC office. We define a hybrid work arrangement as one where employees and supervisors collaborate to establish an in- and out-of-office schedule that “works” for all involved.

As a key technical team member, a Project Engineer I supports Project Managers (PMs) in budgeting, scheduling, and client communication while leading the technical aspects of project meetings. Responsibilities include managing internal project tasks, reviewing data, analyzing compliance, and developing design concepts and detailed drawings per industry standards. The role requires researching and applying relevant codes, exercising sound judgment in technical decisions, and overseeing quality control processes. Additionally, this position involves mentoring staff, utilizing technology for design, and ensuring project deliverables align with scope, budget, and schedule. Client and business development responsibilities include participating in community events, supporting marketing efforts, and identifying opportunities to expand client relationships.
