Technical Program Manager Jobs in Berwick, PA (NOW HIRING)

The importance of water to the health of our world can’t be overstated!

As the frequency and intensity of floods, droughts and storms increases, the water industry must continue to build resiliency and lead from the front.

Together with our clients, we are thinking and doing things differently to help pre-empt and prepare for what's next. Be a part of this dynamic and committed team of diverse water specialists and drive change for your community.

You’ll be able to apply our powerful global network of skills and decades of experience to create positive water outcomes that respect nature and nurture communities.

Who are we looking for?

GHD's US East region is looking for a Design Manager to join their team! This position will be based in the Scranton, PA area to strategically support our expanding client base in Northeast Pennsylvania— a region that has been identified as a priority growth area. While our closest physical office is currently in Bloomsburg, Scranton’s central location places this role in close proximity to several key municipal and private‑sector water clients, allowing us to deliver more responsive service and strengthen local relationships. This position also reflects GHD’s long‑term vision for the region: as our presence grows, Northeast PA will become home to a future physical office.

As Design Manager, you will have the opportunity not only to lead complex, multidiscipline design efforts, but also to contribute directly to the development and shaping of GHD’s footprint in this emerging market and contribute to that growth. You will support all aspects of the project with a primary focus on organizing the technical team to complete the task, controlling the design path, solving problems, and ultimately being responsible for the design achieving the result.

Working with an energetic and high performing team, this position offers a variety of work and will see you involved in:

• Engineering Solutions Design: Design engineering solutions and the associated validation process to enable the realization of a design brief (for example, in terms of functionality, performance, aesthetics, and cost) that conforms to organizational and/or regulatory standards.
• Engineering Standards Specification: Contribute to the analysis of information, the drafting of engineering standards and specifications, and the evaluation of the effectiveness of those standards within own engineering discipline to inform engineering work in the organization and/or of its suppliers, contractors, and consultants.
• Project Management: Deliver small- or medium-scale projects while working within an established program management plan.
• Process Design Engineering: Analyze information and specify the methods and process steps, as well as the plant, machinery, and equipment, required to design and continuously improve manufacturing or materials processes and process systems to deliver the end product within specified cost and quality parameters.
• Contract Management: Deliver required outcomes by managing day‑to‑day relationships with contract service providers while working within an established contract management plan.
• Personal Capability Building: Develop own capabilities by participating in assessment and development planning activities as well as formal and informal training and coaching; gain or maintain external professional accreditation, where relevant, to improve performance and fulfill personal potential. Maintain an in‑depth understanding of technology, external regulation, and industry best practices through ongoing education, attending conferences, and reading specialist media.
• Engineering Inspections: Carry out inspections to evaluate the quality of engineering works and/or the integrity of existing installations or structures, and specify the remedial works needed to ensure conformance with specifications and regulatory requirements.
• Client & Customer Management (External): Manage relationships with small clients while also helping senior colleagues manage relationships with larger key clients and customers.

What you will bring to the team:

• Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering or related field of study
• EIT and either have or be seeking to obtain a PE highly preferred
• A minimum of 6 years of technical, administrative and project experience, managing the design delivery for larger, multi‑discipline projects specifically for water and wastewater, industrial/process plants, facilities, or buildings
• Previous consulting experience strongly desired
• Knowledge of scheduling software and engineering and capital cost estimating techniques is a definite asset
• Able and willing to travel to client job sites as needed (primarily local with the occasional overnight)
• Strong communication abilities to lead a multidiscipline team
