Civil Engineer at The Boring Company in Las Vegas, NV

The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions. To date, our tunnels have transported over 3 million people and we have just expanded into our second city, Nashville. We've recently won approval to dig another 60 miles of tunnels in Vegas and 26 in Nashville, with many more coming in the next 6 months+.

To facilitate this rapid expansion, we are seeking an experienced Civil Engineer with PE licensure and a strong background in land development, site design, utilities mapping, or subsurface infrastructure. Tunneling experience is not required; success in this role comes from deep technical judgment, high ownership, and the ability to lead complex field and design operations with precision.

Responsibilities

• Lead the preparation and review of civil design plans, engineering details, reports, and technical exhibits using AutoCAD Civil 3D.
• Oversee the integration of legal descriptions, survey data, and aerial imagery into final engineering plans, ensuring accuracy across large, multi-stakeholder projects.
• Direct and validate the digitization of as-built civil, utility, and structural drawings; establish QA processes to maintain drawing fidelity across project phases.
• Conduct and supervise field investigations, physical site surveys, utility mapping efforts, subsurface data collection, and engineering documentation.
• Provide senior oversight of survey measurements, property boundary determinations, and alignment verification for critical guidance systems.
• Ensure tunnel and field survey guidance systems remain accurate, calibrated, and operational.
• Own survey equipment inventory, maintenance schedules, and operational readiness across multiple active jobsites.
• Produce high-quality progress reports (daily, weekly, monthly), escalate risks, and communicate technical decisions clearly to leadership and cross-functional teams.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering.
• Anywhere from 1-10 years of experience in civil engineering (the role seniority will be determined based on your experience).
• Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil 3D.
• Plans to obtain, or active Civil Engineering PE license (any state is fine, as long as you can transfer to our relevant states - NV, TX, TN, FL).

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Surveying experience and demonstrated ability to lead field operations.
• Experience in working with engineering teams, field technicians, and external partners.
• Strong problem-solving instincts, technical judgment, and ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence cross-disciplinary teams and drive decisions.
• Detail-oriented mindset with a strong sense of urgency and ownership.

Additional Requirements

• Position may require extended hours and weekend work.
