  • Play a key role in talent development, succession planning, and building a sustainable leadership bench for continued office and regional success.

  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration in Nevada is a plus.
  • 15+ years of progressive civil engineering experience, ideally with a mix of technical delivery, project leadership, client management, and team development.
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage complex priorities, and build trusted relationships with public- and private-sector clients.
  • Strong project management experience, including proposals, scopes, budgets, schedules, QA/QC, and successful execution of engineering projects.
  • A people-first leadership style with a track record of mentoring staff, supporting career growth, and creating accountability without losing collaboration.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
