About the Role

Coleman Company, Inc. has opened up a new office in Brunswick, GA, and we are seeking a growth-oriented and entrepreneurial Civil Project Manager / Engineer to establish our Residential Land Development presence in the Golden Isles. This role is ideal for a motivated engineer ready to step into leadership, client ownership, and market-building responsibility, while staying close to the technical work.

This is a dual role by design. You will manage residential land development projects from concept through construction completion, and you will design them.

The successful candidate will have at least 5-8 years of residential site design experience and the range to move between running a project and drawing it. As the Brunswick team grows, so does this role as we establish our presence in Brunswick, GA.

The ideal candidate is a confident communicator, proactive problem solver, and collaborative leader who is comfortable in Civil 3D one day and in front of a client the next. Experience with coastal Georgia permitting is a strong plus, as is a desire to mentor the staff we hire around you.
