Civil Engineer

The Civil Engineer is a shared resource covering grading, drainage, utilities, and site design review across Hut 8's data center projects, supporting permitting and site development packages from diligence through construction. You are the owner's civil eyes across a portfolio of fast-moving sites: catching design problems before they become field problems, and keeping permits off the critical path.

Some of the key responsibilities you should expect are the following:

Site Design Review

Review civil packages across projects - grading and earthwork balance, storm drainage and detention, wet and dry utilities, roadways and access, erosion and sediment control - for constructability, code compliance, and alignment with program standards. Verify civil design supports equipment logistics: heavy-haul routes, crane pads, and laydown.

Permitting & Entitlements Support

Support permitting strategy and submittals with pre-construction and consultants: site development permits, SWPPP/NPDES, floodplain and drainage approvals, utility permits, and DOT access. Track review cycles, drive comment responses, and escalate when agencies threaten the schedule.

Utility & Site Infrastructure Coordination

Coordinate water, sewer, gas, and telecom infrastructure design with serving utilities and the HV team's substation site needs - shared corridors, easements, and crossing conflicts.

Construction Support

Respond to civil RFIs and field issues; review submittals, shop drawings, and mix designs; support earthwork QA/QC decisions (compaction, subgrade acceptance, dewatering) with CSA superintendents and project engineers.

Diligence & Early Works

Support site diligence for new projects: grading feasibility, drainage constraints, geotech review coordination, and early-works packages that let construction mobilize before full design completes.

Program Standards

Maintain civil design standards, typical details, and specification updates across the portfolio; capture lessons learned from each site into the next.

ABOUT YOU

What we're looking for:

5+ years of civil site design or owner's-side civil review for industrial, mission-critical, or large commercial developments.

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering; PE license preferred.

Strong working knowledge of grading and drainage design, stormwater management, and utility infrastructure.

Experience supporting entitlement and site permitting with AHJs, environmental agencies, and DOTs - you know how to keep a permit review moving.

Comfortable reviewing Civil 3D-based deliverables and geotechnical reports.

Construction-phase experience: RFIs, submittals, and earthwork QA/QC judgment calls.

Able to support multiple concurrent projects and re-prioritize weekly against construction schedules.

Clear communicator with consultants, agencies, and field teams.

Periodic travel to project sites across Texas, Louisiana, and the Southeast (typically 15-25%).

ABOUT THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

This role will be based at our Miami headquarters, with travel to project sites as needed.
