- Comfortable with both technical delivery and relationship-building/business development
- Skilled at guiding junior staff and creating a collaborative, growth-oriented team culture
- Proficient in Civil 3D, MicroStation/InRoads, and MS Office

Nice To Have
- Experience with city, county, or state projects in Washington and/or Oregon
- Familiarity with WSDOT standards and funding processes
- Hands-on proposal development experience
- Strong QA/QC background and ability to set quality standards
- A passion for mentorship and long-term client partnerships
