Municipal Engineer CEDARVILLE ENGINEERING GROUPMunicipal Engineer Improving Communities Through Infrastructure About CEGCedarville Engineering Group (CEG) delivers civil infrastructure and land development engineering for municipalities and clients across Southeastern Pennsylvania. We serve townships and boroughs as their engineers and advisors - designing and reviewing the water, sewer, stormwater, road, and land development projects that keep communities running. We are headquartered in Pottstown, PA. Our mission is to improve the life through infrastructure.
The RoleWe are seeking a Municipal Engineer to serve our township and borough clients across Southeastern Pennsylvania. You will design municipal infrastructure, review land development plans against local ordinances, and represent CEG in front of the municipalities we serve. Familiarity with Pennsylvania municipal practice is a real plus - understanding how PA municipalities operate and how PA regulations get applied helps you hit the ground running.
This role involves:
- Site civil design - grading, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, storm and sanitary sewer
- Subdivision and land development (SALDO) plan review against municipal ordinances and the PA Municipalities Planning Code
- Technical specifications, bidding documents, and construction cost estimates
- Construction observation that holds the work to the design
- Based in Pottstown, PA, serving municipal clients across the surrounding region
What This Role Really IsYou are the engineer our municipal clients rely on - and the one who gets the design right and sees it through.
You ensure:
- Designs and plan reviews meet PA code, municipal ordinance, and PA DEP / PennDOT requirements
- What gets built in the field matches what was engineered on the page
- Our municipal clients get responsive, knowledgeable engineering they can stand behind at a public meeting
We are open to a range of experience - from EIT to licensed PE - and we will invest in you. CEG supports the path to your PA PE and the continuing education you need to grow.
What You\'ll DoMunicipal Design & Engineering- Produce site civil designs including grading, stormwater management, erosion and sedimentation control, and storm and sanitary sewer
- Prepare technical specifications, bidding documents, and construction cost estimates for municipal projects
- Prepare Stormwater Management Reports, PA DEP Chapter 102 (E&S / NPDES) and Chapter 105 submittals, and Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) studies
- Support Act 537 sewage facilities planning and PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP) applications as needed
- Use AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and related design tools to deliver clean, constructible plans
Land Development & Ordinance Review- Review subdivision and land development plans for township and borough clients against local SALDO and zoning ordinances and the PA Municipalities Planning Code (MPC)
- Prepare review letters and represent CEG at township meetings, planning commission, and public hearings
- Advise municipal staff, boards, and officials on engineering requirements and ordinance compliance
Construction Support- Perform construction observations and document field conditions
- Resolve design questions that come up in the field and keep the project moving

Capabilities- Proficiency in engineering software and design tools (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, etc.)
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills - you can hold your own in front of a township board
- Sound problem-solving and judgment - you apply the code, you don\'t just quote it
- Flexible and willing to take on a variety of tasks as client needs change
- Able to work independently and collaboratively across disciplines

- Driven - You take ownership of outcomes
- Problem-Solver - You fix gaps, not just document them
- Growth Mindset - You keep learning and take on new skills as the work demands
- No Assholes - We hold the line and treat people right
If you want to design in a vacuum and never stand behind your work in public, this is not the place for you.
If you take pride in engineering that gets built right and lasts - and in serving the communities behind it - you\'ll fit.
Work Environment- Based in the Pottstown, PA office, with field visits to job sites and occasional evening attendance at township and borough meetings
