Senior Project Manager - Government Solutions

BKF Engineers

Senior Project Manager

BKF is a multi-service infrastructure consulting firm providing civil engineering and surveying services across California, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. With offices throughout California and the Portland area, BKF has served transportation, water resources, land development, government, and federal clients for over 110 years.

At BKF, you'll find a unique opportunity to grow your career with intention. Our culture values professional autonomy, innovation, and meaningful collaboration across offices. We are proud to be recognized with the Great Place to Work certification for the second year in a row.

Responsibilities

This is not a back-office PM role. As a Senior Project Manager in our Government Solutions Group, you'll work directly with public agency leaders, guide complex capital improvement programs, and play a visible role in shaping projects from concept through construction. You'll be trusted with responsibility, supported by a multidisciplinary team, and given the runway to grow. Our goal for new Senior Project Managers is to establish strong client relationships, identify and land new work, and hire team members to execute the work. BKF is a company with a strong bias for growth.

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to public agency clients on capital improvement programs and staff augmentation assignments
  • Manage projects through all phases of public project delivery, from planning and entitlements to PS&E and construction
  • Build and lead project teams; prepare proposals that define scope, schedule, and budget
  • Oversee construction management services and coordinate with inspectors, consultants, and stakeholders
  • Mentor and support junior engineers and inspectors
  • Apply Caltrans, APWA Greenbook, and local agency standards with confidence

What you'll gain:

  • High-visibility public-sector projects that impact communities
  • Clear leadership and career advancement opportunities
  • Mentorship from experienced engineers
  • Flexible work environment with meaningful client interaction
