  • Lead planning, design, and execution of complex municipal water infrastructure projects.

  • Oversee project budgets, schedules, profitability, and client satisfaction.

  • Support multidisciplinary project teams across offices and disciplines.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients and stakeholders.

Team Development

  • Lead the firm's Water Expertise Group and foster collaboration across offices.

  • Mentor engineers, project managers, and technical specialists.

  • Develop training programs and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

  • Help recruit, retain, and develop top water infrastructure talent.

Projects You'll Support

  • Water transmission pipeline systems

  • Water distribution improvements

  • Water storage tanks and reservoirs

  • Water source development projects (wells, springs, and source facilities)

  • Hydraulic modeling and master planning

  • Capital improvement programs

  • Utility relocations associated with transportation projects

  • Emerging water treatment opportunities

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license.

  • 12+ years of progressively responsible experience in water infrastructure engineering and project management.

  • Demonstrated success leading municipal water infrastructure projects from planning through construction.

  • Experience with:

    • Water transmission and distribution systems
