Onsite Full Time Mechanical Engineering and Toolmaking

Soltesz is seeking a highly experienced Senior Technical Manager to serve as a technical authority within our Land Development practice.

This role is designed for a seasoned civil engineer who wants to remain deeply engaged in technical work, design quality, engineering judgment, and complex problem-solving — without taking on traditional project management or people management responsibilities.

This position is ideal for a senior engineer who enjoys:

  • Solving complex engineering challenges
  • Reviewing and improving technical design work
  • Supporting QA/QC and engineering best practices
  • Advising project teams on highly technical land development issues
  • Influencing engineering quality across projects

This is not a budget, schedule, or staff management role. It is a senior-level technical leadership position focused on engineering excellence.

The Senior Technical Manager will serve as a senior technical resource for land development design, including:

  • Site layout and design
  • Grading and earthwork analysis
  • Drainage and stormwater management
  • Utility design and coordination
  • Roadway and transportation improvements
  • Regulatory and permitting compliance

Additional responsibilities include:

  • Performing advanced technical reviews of plans, calculations, reports, and specifications
  • Providing expert guidance on complex engineering and regulatory issues
  • Supporting QA/QC standards and technical best practices
  • Assisting project teams with practical, technically sound solutions
  • Promoting consistency, accuracy, and quality across design deliverables

This role is a strong fit for a civil engineer who is:

  • A respected technical expert in land development
  • Highly experienced in Maryland and local jurisdiction requirements
  • Skilled at reviewing complex plans, calculations, and reports
  • Comfortable advising project teams without directly managing staff
  • Passionate about improving engineering quality and technical outcomes

Qualifications

  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license in Maryland
  • 20+ years of land development civil engineering experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering
  • Strong knowledge of Maryland and local jurisdiction regulations
  • Demonstrated expertise in:
  • Stormwater management
  • Grading
  • Utilities
  • Permitting and regulatory compliance
  • Proven ability to provide senior-level technical review, judgment, and problem-solving guidance

At Soltesz, this position offers the opportunity to continue doing what experienced engineers often enjoy most: solving technical challenges, improving design quality, and serving as a trusted engineering resource.

The Senior Technical Manager will help elevate project quality across the firm while remaining closely connected to the details of land development civil engineering.
