Careers

Working at Foresight Design Services

FDS has always prided ourselves on having a small office feel even as we grow. This takes the form of multiple company wide events throughout the year like a bowling party in the spring or the pumpkin carving contest in the fall. Sharing experiences together increases our ability to communicate with each other on projects in a deeply meaningful way. We know each other.

We also recognize that work needs to get done and this is successfully achieved by:

Being mutually accountable to each other
Mentoring new team members
Being boundaryless in sharing our knowledge
Leveraging the latest technology
Meeting deadlines

Keeping these hallmarks at the forefront of our day to day work environment allows for an exceptional work-life balance for our FDS family.

Occasional out of town work required but majority of work is in New River Valley and nearby areas.

Project Manager

Are you a civil engineer who also likes to carve pumpkins, eat ice cream, pick up trash along the side of the road, volunteer your time for community organizations, get involved, and go home at a decent hour? Are you looking for a place where you can generally enjoy your time at work and be designing the fabric of your community – the places where you and your family will be living, working, and playing? If so (and you are good with stormwater calculations too), then Foresight Design might be the right place to call your forever home.

We are a growing civil engineering / land development firm looking to provide an opportunity to a Project Manager with a minimum of 4 years of experience with site design in site development plans, utilities, and stormwater design. Familiarity with Autocad/Civil 3d a plus, but daily responsibility will not require working in CAD. Core responsibilities will be on management components - leading a production team, managing projects, and managing clients. Foresight Design offers excellent benefit package and work environment (see eating ice cream note above). Please submit resume and cover letter to Foresight Design Services, 1260 Radford Street, Christiansburg, VA 24073 or sbell@foresightdesignservices.com.
