This is a senior-level role suited to an experienced engineer who can lead projects end-to-end while managing teams, clients, and technical delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee design and delivery of treatment systems, collection networks, pumping stations, and distribution infrastructure
  • Manage project budgets, schedules, and deliverables
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary teams including civil, structural, electrical, and SCADA specialists
  • Act as the primary point of contact for clients, contractors, and regulatory agencies
  • Support proposals, business development, and client account growth
  • Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations
  • Conduct QA/QC reviews to maintain technical standards
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers

Candidate Requirements

  • B.S. in Civil or Environmental Engineering (M.S. preferred)
  • Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in New York, or ability to obtain
  • 10-15 years of consulting engineering experience
  • Strong background in municipal water and wastewater systems
  • Proven project management experience across design and construction phases
  • Knowledge of regulatory frameworks, funding programs, and bidding processes
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

If you're a project-focused engineer who can lead from the front and deliver complex municipal water projects, get in touch for a confidential discussion.

This is not a remote role but open to people across Mid-Atlantic and Northeast offices.
