Build a Career at Howell

Howell is not a typical engineering company – and that’s a good thing. Gone are the days of pocket protectors and running endless pipe calculations at a lineup of drafting tables.

Since 1999, our team has been solving problems in Civil Engineering, Land Development, Environmental Engineering and Surveying for clients throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

We find quality folks looking for long-term, well-paying, careers. You’ll need a healthy thirst for challenge, possess the desire to lead others and enjoy a fast pace.

The Environment

In the construction industry, our culture is casual, but we dress it up when we need to. As civil engineers and designers, we work with the full spectrum of customers, from individual homeowners and site contractors to real estate investment trusts. That means our team is exceptional at adapting to different clientele and speaking to varying levels of experience within the regulatory world. Our successes span thousands of unique, complex projects and challenging issues.

We work to get everyone to a level of technical proficiency so you can interact with clients as soon as you’re comfortable. That’s not the case with most firms. As a matter of fact, at some firms, you could rarely even see a client for years.

The Opportunity

One thing we can say with absolute certainty: we are eager to run people up the chain of command – so long as you are up for it. Eager is an understatement. We advance capable team members into positions where you answer to nobody but your clients and yourselves. It’s a big deal and not an opportunity you’ll see often.

All you need is drive, determination and a desire to run your own show. Not quite technically there? No problem, we’ll help get you there. Demonstrate you can handle the task at hand and you’re on your way.

The People

Like to laugh? You’ll fit right in. Our work comes with great responsibility. We are literally charged with ensuring the health, safety and welfare of the general public – super serious stuff. And because we operate continually with such focus, we also need downtime to decompress. The flip side of hard work is an atmosphere of support. And lightheartedness.

The Path Forward

You’ll have every opportunity to excel and contribute to the organization, the industry and your own career. You’ll collaborate daily with talented professionals. Colleagues and mentors sharing knowledge, experience, and skills. Many of us have worked here for more than ten years, a testament to our teamwork, camaraderie, and sense of achievement.

We offer benefits including health, dental, vision, group life, short term and long term disability plans, a 401(k) program with matching and advancement opportunities - all in a business casual work environment.

Amanda Schneider

“It’s a culture of collaboration. I’m still asking questions and we are always bouncing ideas off each other. A lot of what we do isn’t just the math and the science. It’s dealing with people, clients, reviewers and being open to working with people and being personable. It’s great to work for a company where you have so much support from the boss.”

Denny Howell III

“Somebody who’s outgoing, who can talk to other people will fit in well here. You’ve got to be sharp. You’ve got to stand by your calculations and dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s to make sure everything on the plan looks perfect. You have to get back to clients right away.”
