Senior Land Development Project Manager

Owings Mills, MD | Baltimore, MD

Lead High-Impact Projects Across the Mid-Atlantic

An exciting leadership opportunity is available for a Senior Land Development Project Manager to play a pivotal role in delivering complex civil/site projects throughout the Baltimore–Washington region .

This is more than a project management role—it’s an opportunity to drive strategy, mentor teams, and build lasting client partnerships while shaping communities through high-profile land development and urban redevelopment projects.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Project Manager, you will take ownership of large-scale, complex land development projects from concept through construction. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to clients, lead high-performing teams, and contribute to the continued growth of a dynamic, multidisciplinary practice.

What You’ll Do

• Lead with impact — Manage civil/site development projects from planning and design through permitting, construction, and closeout
• Drive performance — Oversee scope, schedule, budget, staffing, and quality across multiple concurrent projects
• Own client relationships — Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted partner across public and private sector clients
• Mentor and inspire — Guide and develop engineers at all levels while fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture
• Ensure technical excellence — Review plans, reports, and specifications for quality, accuracy, and compliance
• Navigate complex approvals — Lead permitting efforts and engage with agencies, municipalities, and stakeholders
• Grow the business — Support proposals, develop scopes and fees, and contribute to strategic pursuits
• Stay technically engaged — Provide direction in site design, grading, stormwater, utilities, and permitting
• Manage financial performance — Oversee project profitability, invoicing, forecasting, and cash flow

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (Master’s preferred)
• Professional Engineer (PE) in MD, DC, or VA (or ability to obtain)
• 15+ years of progressive experience in land development engineering
• Proven track record leading projects, managing teams, and building client relationships
• Strong knowledge of regional permitting processes (MD/DC/VA)
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D or MicroStation
• Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills

What Sets You Apart

• Expertise in grading, drainage, stormwater management, utilities, and erosion control
• Experience with stormwater modeling tools (Hydraflow, HydroCAD, etc.)
• Active involvement in industry organizations or business development
• Experience with proposals, scope negotiation, and managing additional services

Why This Role Stands Out

• Leadership visibility — Play a key role influencing projects, teams, and client relationships
• High-impact portfolio — Work on diverse projects ranging from large-scale developments to complex urban sites
• Growth opportunity — Be part of an expanding practice with strong upward mobility
• Collaborative environment — Partner with top-tier professionals in a multidisciplinary setting
• Meaningful work — Help shape the communities and infrastructure of the Mid-Atlantic region

If you’re ready to step into a senior leadership role where your expertise and vision will directly impact projects, clients, and team success, this is an opportunity worth exploring. Please apply now.
