We recently bought a few acres in Heath that is adjacent to a neighborhood. The homesite previously had a home on it that was razed in 2017, but was on septic.

I've contacted the city about tying in to the sewer main serving the neighborhood, which is just across a private road. The city has told me that I need an engineer to draw up a plan that will need to be approved by them before we can move any dirt.

My question is, who do I contact about this? My first thought was a civil engineer or firm, but a quick google search turns up Sanitary Engineer. Anyone have any leads on this? Any help is greatly appreciated

What a terrible job

They aren't the ones making those actual connections, just doing the drawings and probably pays 100-150K yearly.

Here's the City's sewer map so you can at least figure out what size sewer that is you might be connecting to.

I've personally never worked in Heath so can't give you any City specific info there. But yes, any public infrastructure would need to be contained within a sanitary sewer easement and sealed by a licensed engineer after going through the City's approval process.
