Job description

Civil Science is seeking a driven and experienced Public Works Project Manager to support and grow our public works practice in Utah (Salt Lake City or Lehi Office).

This is more than a traditional project management role — it's an opportunity to play a key role in a growing market. You'll lead meaningful municipal infrastructure projects that directly impact the communities we serve, while building strong relationships with local agencies and stakeholders.

We're looking for a licensed engineer who thrives in a client-facing role — someone who takes ownership of project delivery, leads collaborative teams, and enjoys guiding projects from concept through completion. You'll step into an active backlog of work with immediate opportunities to contribute and help expand our presence across Idaho.

At Civil Science, you won't just contribute — you'll have a stake in what we're building. As a 100% employee-owned company, our culture is rooted in accountability, collaboration, and long-term thinking, giving you the opportunity to grow your career while helping shape the future of our Utah operations.

What You'll Get to Do:

  • Serve as a primary client contact for public works projects across Utah
  • Manage scope, schedule, and budget for multiple active municipal projects
  • Lead and coordinate multidisciplinary project teams
  • Deliver high-quality infrastructure projects for city, county, and state agencies
  • Support business development efforts, including proposals and client relationship growth
  • Collaborate with leadership to expand backlog and strengthen market presence
  • Mentor junior staff and contribute to team development
  • Ensure projects meet quality, risk, and compliance standards

What We're Looking For:

  • Strong project management and organizational skills
  • Ability to build and maintain client relationships
  • Experience working with public agency clients
  • Ability to lead teams and drive accountability
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
  • Interest in contributing to a growing regional market

What Qualifications You'll Need:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering required
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license required
  • 8+ years of experience in public works or municipal infrastructure projects
  • Experience with city, county, or DOT clients
  • Proficiency in Adobe Acrobat, Bluebeam, and Civil 3D
  • Experience delivering transportation and public works infrastructure projects
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a client-facing environment
  • Ability to travel and meet client needs throughout Utah and potentially in surrounding states.
  • Must be able to sit for prolonged periods while working on a computer; lift up to 30 pounds; work on active construction sites with uneven terrain, varying weather conditions, and moderate to high noise levels; and stand, walk, climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl as required.

What Will Help You Stand Out

  • Experience working with Utah municipalities or local agencies
  • Business development or proposal support experience
  • Experience mentoring or supporting junior staff
  • Familiarity with regional infrastructure needs and standards

Why Join Civil Science?

  • Ownership in Your Future: At Civil Science, we're proud to be a 100% employee-owned firm. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), you'll have the chance to grow your career and save for retirement.
  • Room to Grow: Say goodbye to corporate red tape. Our agile structure empowers you to take ownership of projects, explore new roles, and accelerate your career.
  • Work-Life Harmony: Your time outside of work matters. We offer flexibility to ensure your career complements your personal life.
  • Comprehensive Benefits (Fulltime Employees): Enjoy three weeks of PTO, eight holidays, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short/long-term disability, tuition reimbursement, and a 401K plan.

About Civil Science

Civil Science isn't just another engineering firm—we're a 100% employee-owned company with over 40 years of expertise and a bold vision for the future. Our team of talented engineers, surveyors, planners, and technicians partners with clients across the public and private sectors to deliver innovative and impactful solutions.

At Civil Science, we believe in investing in our people. As an employee-owner, you'll enjoy unmatched opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and career growth, all within a culture that values collaboration, excellence, and entrepreneurial spirit. If you're ready to join a firm that's shaping the future of civil engineering, we'd love to have you on our team!
