About The Position

Ardurra is looking to hire a Senior Civil Engineer for our Columbia, SC office.

Our civil engineers, urban planners, and staff scientists work together daily to
plan and create sustainable human environments by offering comprehensive
aviation, land development, water utility and water resources services ranging
from due diligence and master planning to design and construction

staff and senior leaders, and are looking for that technical lead engineer that
enjoys being the “go-to” resource for others.

ideal for a civil engineer who thrives in a collaborative environment and is
passionate about shaping the future of aviation infrastructure.
