Land development engineers turn raw or underused land into buildable sites. The work typically covers site layout, grading, stormwater management, water and sewer utilities, roadway and parking design, and the permit and entitlement submittals that local agencies review before construction starts. Most roles sit with consulting firms serving residential, commercial, industrial and public clients, and many combine design production with client and agency coordination.

Early-career positions usually focus on design support in Civil 3D or similar software, drainage calculations and plan-set preparation under a licensed engineer. Project engineer and project manager roles add responsibility for schedules, budgets, client relationships and coordination with surveyors, planners, landscape architects and contractors. Senior roles commonly require a PE license because the engineer of record seals the construction documents. Each job card below shows whether the employer lists a PE or EIT requirement.
