About Us

Civil Site Engineering LLC (formerly Yerka Engineering LLC) is a multifaceted civil engineering firm located in Douglas, MA. Civil Site Engineering has gained an outstanding reputation doing business with municipalities and private developers in the South Central Worcester County area for over 30 years. The firm is distinguished for its “common sense solutions” to engineering problems brought about by the ever-increasing demands put on projects, due to more stringent regulations. We have designed and permitted many roadways and subdivisions and are familiar with projects governed by changing local and state requirements, like the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and NHESP Endangered Species.
