### Job Title

**Massachusetts-Licensed Civil/Site Engineer – Nantucket Wetland Crossing, Access Road & NOI Plans**

### Job Description

We are seeking an experienced **Massachusetts-licensed Professional Engineer (PE)** for an expedited residential civil/site engineering project in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

The property is approximately **2.45 acres** and is being evaluated for a **two-lot front/rear subdivision**. The immediate engineering need is to design a private/subdivision access road along the easterly side of the property, including a **wetland crossing and fire turnaround**, and prepare the civil engineering plans and calculations required to support a **Notice of Intent (NOI)** filing with the Nantucket Conservation Commission.

A professional wetland scientist has already completed the wetland delineation, GPS-located the wetland flags, and mapped the applicable buffer zones. A professional land survey is also substantially complete. Preliminary subdivision/access concepts are being developed separately.

### Scope of Work

The selected engineer will be expected to:

* Review the existing survey, wetland delineation, GPS data, buffer zones, and proposed access alignment.
* Develop the private/subdivision access road layout.
* Design the wetland crossing.
* Establish roadway/driveway grades and profiles.
* Prepare existing and proposed grading/contours.
* Design drainage/stormwater management as applicable.
* Design an appropriate fire apparatus turnaround.
* Coordinate utilities through or alongside the access corridor.
* Establish limits of disturbance.
* Prepare erosion and sediment-control details.
* Prepare crossing details, sections, and construction notes.
* Calculate temporary and permanent wetland/resource-area impacts.
* Prepare engineering calculations necessary for the NOI.
* Coordinate with our wetland consultant, surveyor, land-use attorney, and subdivision planner.
* Prepare and **PE-stamp the civil/site drawings** required for the Conservation Commission submission.
* Respond to reasonable engineering comments during the initial permitting review.

Our wetland consultant will lead the environmental narrative and NOI filing. This assignment is specifically for the **civil/site engineering component**.

### Existing Information Available

We can provide immediately:

* existing survey/base plans;
* CAD files as available;
* wetland study;
* GPS wetland point data;
* wetland and buffer-zone mapping;
* preliminary subdivision layouts;
* proposed road/access concepts;
* aerial/site information; and
* direct access to our wetland consultant and land-use team.

This is **not a boundary survey assignment** and does not require the engineer to redo the wetland delineation.

### Required Qualifications

* Active **Massachusetts PE license**.
* Strong civil/site-development experience.
* Experience with Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act permitting.
* Road/private-driveway design experience.
* Grading and drainage/stormwater design experience.
* Wetland-crossing and erosion-control experience.
* AutoCAD/Civil 3D capability.
* Ability to work efficiently with existing survey and environmental consultants.

Experience in **Nantucket, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, or other Massachusetts coastal/wetland jurisdictions** is preferred but not mandatory.

### Schedule

This is an **expedited project**.

We are looking for someone who can:

* begin immediately;
* provide a preliminary access/crossing concept within approximately **2–4 business days**; and
* target an **NOI-ready civil engineering package within approximately 7–10 calendar days**, assuming the required information is provided promptly.

Please do not apply unless you can begin quickly.

### Budget

Anticipated budget: **$8,000–$15,000**

We prefer either:

* fixed fee; or
* phased/not-to-exceed pricing.

Please provide your proposed scope and fee rather than simply accepting the maximum budget.

### Please Include With Your Proposal

1. Massachusetts PE license number.
2. Examples of similar site-development, wetland-crossing, road, or NOI projects.
3. Massachusetts/Cape & Islands permitting experience.
4. Confirmation of immediate availability.
5. Earliest date you could provide a preliminary plan.
6. Estimated turnaround for an NOI-ready civil package.
7. Proposed fee or not-to-exceed budget.
8. Whether you believe an initial site visit is necessary.

**Responsiveness and turnaround time are important. We are prepared to engage the right engineer immediately.**
