Civil Engineer / Construction Project Manager

AT Process Technologies (ATP) is a pioneering manufacturing company focused on the development and deployment of modular energetics production plants. Using breakthrough chemistry and automation that operates continuously and generates little to no waste, ATP is expanding energetics production to meet the munitions demands of the US and Allies safely, rapidly, and cost effectively.

We are seeking a Civil Engineer / Construction Project Manager to lead the design and construction of ATP’s facilities. You will prepare and review site plans, draft and review drawings, and act as our in-house general contractor, managing subcontractors and local trades to bring projects from concept to completion. You will not be handing projects off to a large construction department; instead, you will own the full lifecycle of our site and building projects, working closely with our process engineering, safety, and operations teams.

Critical Responsibilities

• Site Planning & Civil Design: Prepare and review site plans for new and expanding ATP facilities, including grading, drainage and stormwater management, utilities, roads and access, and site layout. Coordinate with outside civil, structural, and MEP consultants, and review their work for constructability, cost, and code compliance.

• Drawing Production & Review: Draft, red-line, and review civil, site, and building drawings. Maintain the drawing set for each project from concept through permit, bid, construction, and as-built, and keep drawings consistent with process and equipment layouts developed by our engineering team.

• Explosives Safety Siting Support: Work with the Lead Safety Officer to incorporate quantity-distance (QD) arcs, barricades, magazine locations, and other explosives safety requirements into site layouts, and support the preparation of explosives safety site plans for DoD and ATF review.

• Permitting & Approvals: Lead the civil and construction side of local, state, and federal permitting, including site plan review with planning boards, building and fire permits, and state stormwater and land use approvals. Prepare submittal packages and represent ATP at hearings and with authorities having jurisdiction.

• In-House General Contractor: Act as ATP’s in-house general contractor and owner’s representative. Develop scopes of work, solicit and level bids, select and manage subcontractors and local trades, negotiate contracts and change orders, and coordinate deliveries, equipment setting, and inspections.

• Schedule, Budget & Procurement: Build and manage construction schedules and budgets, track costs against estimates, and procure long-lead materials and equipment. Provide leadership with clear, regular reporting on progress, risk, and spend.

• Field Oversight & Quality: Spend significant time on site directing work, enforcing construction safety (OSHA 29 CFR 1926), inspecting work against drawings and specifications, and closing out punch lists, testing, and turnover to operations.

• Multi-Site Support: Support facility projects at our Waltham, MA lab and Berwick, ME pilot site, with periodic involvement in our Louisiana site and in site selection and due diligence for future locations.

Qualifications

• Civil Engineering Background: B.S. in Civil Engineering or a closely related field, with 7+ years of combined experience in civil site design and construction project management.

• Professional Engineer License: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in Civil Engineering. Licensure in Maine and Massachusetts is preferred; candidates licensed in another state must be able to obtain Maine and Massachusetts licensure by comity within six months of hire, as this role will seal site plans and civil drawings for permitting.

• Construction Management Experience: Proven experience running construction projects as a general contractor, construction manager, or owner’s representative, including managing subcontractors, bids, schedules, budgets, and change orders on industrial or commercial projects.

• Drafting & Design Tools: Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D, including sheet sets and plan production. Familiarity with Revit, Bluebeam, and construction scheduling tools (e.g., MS Project or Primavera) is a plus.

• Permitting Knowledge: Experience navigating site plan approvals, stormwater permitting, and building and fire code review. Familiarity with New England municipal and state permitting processes is a plus.

• Hazardous or Defense Facilities (Preferred): Experience with explosives, chemical, or other hazardous process facilities, including DDESB siting requirements, USACE standard designs for earth-covered magazines, or UFC 3-340-02 protective construction, is a significant plus.

• The "Builder" Profile: Comfortable working without a large construction organization behind you, wearing both the engineer’s and the builder’s hat, and moving a project from a napkin sketch to a finished, permitted facility.

• Eligibility & Travel: Must be a U.S. person as defined under ITAR. OSHA 30 Construction certification preferred. Ability to travel regularly between Waltham, MA and Berwick, ME and periodically to other ATP sites.

Additional Requirements

• Ability to lift 50 lbs

• U.S. Person and ability to obtain a security clearance
