  • Mentor and support project teams, fostering professional growth and technical excellence.

  • Participate in business development efforts including proposals, presentations, and client outreach.

  • Stay current with industry regulations, funding mechanisms, and best practices in public works and infrastructure design.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Science, Land Planning, Surveying, or a related field.

  • Professional license highly desired (PE, RLA, AICP, CPG, PS).

  • Four or more years of experience delivering public works, municipal, or infrastructure projects.

  • Knowledge of local government processes, permitting, and construction markets.

  • Experience with utilities, roadway design, stormwater, water and wastewater, or related public infrastructure projects.

  • Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to coordinate diverse stakeholders.

  • Experience with project management software such as Deltek Vision is a plus.

The Impact You Will Make

Atwell Project Managers in Public Works are community builders. By balancing technical requirements, client needs, and project outcomes, you will help cities and towns deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable infrastructure. This is an opportunity to grow your influence, lead meaningful projects, and make a lasting difference in communities across the region.
