Job description

Project Manager / Senior Project Manager – Water/Wastewater 

At HR Green, we bring more than 100 years of experience helping communities grow through impactful infrastructure solutions. With 700+ professionals across 20+ offices, we combine deep technical expertise with strong local relationships, responsive leadership, and a collaborative, low-bureaucracy culture.

In water and wastewater, we deliver practical, end-to-end solutions spanning planning, funding, design, and construction. For experienced professionals, this means the opportunity to lead meaningful municipal projects, build lasting client partnerships, and take real ownership in shaping both project outcomes and the future of our growing practice.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking an experienced Project Manager or Senior Project Manager to help lead the continued growth of our Water/Wastewater practice in Iowa. This is a highly visible leadership role for someone already managing potable water infrastructure projects who wants greater autonomy, stronger client access, and more influence over project delivery and team direction.

Why This Role Stands Out

This opportunity is ideal for professionals looking for:

  • Greater ownership of projects and delivery decisions 
  • Direct client relationships without layers of bureaucracy 
  • More influence over staffing, technical direction, and team development 
  • Leadership on meaningful municipal infrastructure projects 
  • A clear path into broader leadership within a growing water practice 

This is not a narrow execution role—you would be a trusted leader shaping both project outcomes and long-term client relationships.

The Work You’d Lead

Projects span the full lifecycle of municipal potable water infrastructure, including:

  • Raw water systems, wells, and source development 
  • Water treatment facilities and process upgrades 
  • Pump stations, storage facilities, and distribution systems 
  • Transmission system rehabilitation and expansion 
  • Regulatory compliance, including SDWA requirements 

You would stay involved from planning and design through permitting, bidding, and construction.

What the Role Looks Like

You would lead multi-discipline teams while owning project scope, schedule, budget, and client satisfaction. Responsibilities include managing technical delivery, serving as a trusted advisor to municipal clients, supporting QA/QC, overseeing construction-phase coordination, mentoring engineers, and helping grow the next generation of technical leaders.

Your work will focus heavily on potable water systems, including treatment facilities, storage infrastructure, pumping systems, and distribution networks, while also supporting wastewater treatment and collection system projects. This role provides the opportunity to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions that meet regulatory requirements and support long-term community growth.

Growth & Leadership Opportunity

Beyond project delivery, this role offers the chance to help shape a growing practice through client development, proposal strategy, industry involvement, and operational leadership.

This role tends to resonate with professionals who are already successful in their current role but want more decision-making authority, stronger client-facing responsibility, less organizational friction, and a clearer long-term leadership path within water/wastewater infrastructure.

Benefits 

Not only does HR Green provide you with a place to grow, thrive, and enjoy your work, but we are also dedicated to delivering a comprehensive and multi-faceted benefits package. Visit our website for detailed total rewards information.
