Design Better. Build Something Stronger. Deliver Faster.
About CEG
Cedarville Engineering Group (CEG) delivers design-build civil infrastructure and environmental remediation projects for federal agencies, including work on active military installations. Our projects directly support national defense, environmental restoration, and resilient infrastructure. We are a 50-person firm with offices in Pottstown, PA and Tampa, FL.
The Role
We are looking for a Civil Engineer I who is ready to get their hands dirty from day one. This is not a seat-warming position — you will be designing real projects, solving real problems, and seeing your work show up in the field. You'll work alongside experienced engineers while owning real deliverables that carry your name.
You will work across:
- Grading, drainage, and erosion & sediment control design
- Site layout and civil plan development
- Construction document preparation and permit support
- Field observation and construction-phase coordination
What This Role Really Is
You are an engineer who wants to build, not just draft.
You take ownership of your task list — not just the easy pieces, but the hard ones too. You ask questions when you're stuck, push forward when you're not, and take pride in delivering work that holds up in the field. When a plan goes out the door with your initials on it, you've already reviewed it like someone else's career depends on it — because yours does.
The CEG Standard
At CEG, we have one baseline expectation that applies to every role: put your name on your work and mean it. We don't want people who hand things off and move on. We want people who look back at what they delivered and are proud of it. If you're the kind of person who holds yourself to a higher standard than anyone else would hold you to — you'll fit here.
CEG operates on a simple standard we call Better-Stronger-Faster. Better means every deliverable is an improvement on what came before — you don't repeat mistakes and you don't settle for good enough. Stronger means we build capability in everything we do — in our people, our processes, and the projects we leave behind. Faster means we move with urgency — clients trust us because we respond, act, and deliver without making them wait. If that's how you approach your work, you'll thrive here.
Better-Stronger-Faster — What That Means in This Role
- Better – Your designs are more accurate, more buildable, and more thorough than what was there before.
- Stronger – Every project you touch leaves you more capable than the last one did.
- Faster – You hit deadlines without sacrificing quality — clients never have to chase you for a deliverable.
Key Responsibilities: What You'll Do
Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions.
Design & Engineering
- Prepare grading plans, drainage designs, and erosion & sediment control plans
- Develop detailed site layouts and construction drawings using AutoCAD / Civil 3D
- Perform engineering calculations and assist in preparing technical reports
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver compliant, constructible designs
- Self-check every deliverable before it leaves your desk — your initials mean it's right, not just done
Project Support
- Assist with permit applications and agency coordination
- Support construction-phase services including site visits, RFI responses, and submittal reviews
- Maintain organized project documentation and track deliverable schedules
- Communicate clearly with project managers, clients, and contractors — no one is left wondering where things stand

- Participate in internal design reviews and quality checks

Preferred
- Exposure to stormwater, grading, or site design projects
- Familiarity with State, Local, and Federal permitting is a plus, but not required.

Capabilities
- You sign your work because you're confident it's right — not just done
- You're always looking for a better way to approach the problem
- You move with urgency — deadlines are commitments, not suggestions
- You take pride in finished work; mediocre output isn't acceptable to you
- You grow from every project and bring that growth to the next one
What Matters Here – Our Core Values
- Responsive – You communicate clearly and act quickly
- Driven – You take ownership of outcomes
