Land development is the only work we do.
Bailey Engineering is a land development–focused civil engineering firm serving experienced developers across the Treasure Valley. Land development is the only work we do.
We are structured, process-driven, and deadline-focused. Our clients expect clarity and execution — and so do we.
We are seeking a Professional Engineer who wants real ownership, high standards, and long-term opportunity inside a firm built on accountability.
This is not a volume-production seat. It is a leadership seat.
What You Would Own
You would lead subdivision and civil land development projects from concept through approval and construction support.
That means:
- Managing grading, drainage, utility, and roadway design
- Coordinating with Survey, Operations, and agencies
- Communicating directly with developer clients
- Managing deadlines and deliverables
- Preventing problems instead of reacting to them
At Bailey, "Own It" means you know what is due, who depends on you, and you speak up early when something is off-track.
How We Operate
We are not chaotic.
We are not reactive.
We do not tolerate blame culture.
Our core values are not wall décor — they drive performance.
- Continuous Improvement
We measure and refine. We look for more efficient ways to deliver. - Own It!
We take responsibility for deadlines and outcomes. - Do the Math
We are analytical problem-solvers who think before we draw. - We Not Me!
We collaborate above the line — no finger-pointing, no drama.
If you thrive in structured environments with clear expectations, you will thrive here.
This Role Is Ideal For
- A PE who wants true project ownership
- An engineer who prefers systems over chaos
- Someone who values constructability and practical design
- A mentor who takes pride in developing junior engineers

This Role Is Not For
- Engineers who miss deadlines and blame circumstances
- Individuals who resist accountability or structured processes
- Those who prefer working independently without collaboration
- Over-designers who prioritize perfection over buildability

Qualifications
- Licensed Professional Engineer (Idaho or ability to obtain)
- 5+ years of civil land development experience
- Strong Civil 3D proficiency
- Experience leading projects and reviewing junior staff
- Strong communication with agencies and clients
What Success Looks Like (First Year)
- Leading multiple subdivision projects independently
- Maintaining high on-time delivery performance
- Reducing avoidable rework
- Earning trust with key developer clients
- Elevating at least one junior engineer
- Have clarity on where you fit within Bailey Engineering, the growth paths available (technical, leadership, or strategic), and a defined trajectory you are intentionally working toward.
