See your work go from concept to construction-often within your first year.
At Landform, you won't be siloed into one narrow task. You'll work alongside planners, land surveyors, landscape architects, and senior engineers in a studio-based environment-contributing to real retail and commercial land developments from concept through construction.
Simply put, you design projects that actually get built - not just drawings that sit on a screen.
We're looking for a Civil Engineer (EIT or 0-3 years of experience) who wants hands-on experience, meaningful responsibility, and a faster path to growth in land development design. This role is ideal for early-career civil engineers seeking hands-on experience in land development, site design, and commercial project delivery.
What you'll actually do:
- Support retail and commercial land development projects from concept through construction
- Assist in preparing site plans, grading, drainage, utility, and erosion control plans
- Perform stormwater calculations and basic modeling
- Contribute to plan production using AutoCAD Civil 3D
- Coordinate with internal teams and external partners (clients, municipalities, contractors)
- Participate in site investigations, zoning research, and utility coordination
- Take on increasing ownership of design components as your experience grows
What you'll gain:
- Exposure to how projects move from idea → design → approval → construction
- Accelerated experience that typically takes years to gain in more siloed firms
- Direct collaboration with multiple disciplines in a studio-based environment
- A clear path toward PE licensure and project leadership
Required qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or related field
- 0-3 years of experience (internships included)
- Familiarity with AutoCAD (Civil 3D preferred)
- Basic understanding of site design, grading, and construction documentation
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
- Strong interest in land development, site design, or civil infrastructure
Preferred:
- EIT certification or on track to obtain
- Exposure to commercial site design or land development projects
Why Landform:
- Studio-based collaboration across disciplines
- Diverse and meaningful retail and commercial projects
- You won't be siloed-you'll see how entire projects come together
- Trusted by public and private clients for more than 30 years across Minnesota and nationwide
- Growth-focused culture with mentorship and advancement
- Work on projects you can point to and say, 'I helped build that.'
- Hybrid flexibility and modern work environment
- 30+ year firm with a forward-thinking approach
What you can expect:
- Health, dental, vision, life/disability
- 401(k) with employer contribution
- Flexible time off (FTO)
- Profit sharing
- Professional development + licensure support
- Hybrid work flexibility
At Landform, you can:
- FORM YOUR PATH. Together, we'll work to achieve your ideal career, including how your hard work will be rewarded.
- FORM YOUR TEAM. It's less about traditional hierarchy than collaborating toward the right solution.
- FORM YOUR FUTURE. Your immersive experiences prepare you with skills to take on your future - including a unique portfolio and proficiency in working with cutting-edge tools.
Successful candidates will gain practical experience across the full project lifecycle-from initial concept through construction.
If you're ready to work on real-world projects, grow faster than the typical path, and be part of a collaborative, high-performing team-we should talk.
Apply today, because great careers aren't found, they're formed.
