Would You Take This Job?
Would you relocate or commute to Albany County to lead site-design projects and manage client relationships at a mid-sized land-development engineering firm for the posted salary range? Why or why not?
If you’ll be doing land dev in Albany County, ask how they handle SEQR and town board presentations — those can double your timeline. I’d also clarify the expected number of concurrent projects; anything over 6 without admin/design support burned me out fast.
I’d ask if they expect you to lead town board presentations and handle SEQR long-form work; my last project in Colonie slipped 10 weeks waiting on National Grid’s will-serve letter and an NYSDOT Region 1 curb-cut permit, so I’d bake those review lags into the schedule and fee.
$100–$120k feels fair for Albany County if you’re truly leading site design and PM, but I’d want clarity on SEQR duties and whether you’re doing town board presentations, plus how many concurrent projects. My last Albany subdivision slipped about 9 weeks on SEQR long-form and utility will-serve letters — if those delays hit your “manage timelines and deliverables” metric, you’ll need real admin/PM support. Do they give you an EIT/CAD tech, or are you solo?
