The Project Engineer and Project Manager roles support the planning, execution, and leadership of water and wastewater treatment construction projects, from project operations and procurement through commissioning and closeout.
Responsibilities
- Planning and execution of day to day project operations. Like to be outside and not stuck behind a desk all day? You'll be based on exciting and fast paced construction jobsites with a great combination of indoor and outdoor work
- Purchase, procure, and manage vendor materials and subcontractor work packages. Want responsibility? Projects often include state of the art water treatment equipment and construction techniques worth millions of dollars
- Own submittals, RFIs, and technical coordination. You'll become the person who knows how the systems on your project actually fit together, which is the knowledge that turns engineers into managers
- Track cost, quantities, and production against the budget, and flag drift early rather than explaining it later
- Manage and maintain positive relationships with other engineers, managers, trades professionals, subcontractors and vendors. Like working with people? You'll work with a wide variety of individuals from all different backgrounds and perspectives, and it's great
- Learn, grow, and be mentored by the industry's best and brightest. Want advancement potential? A culture of training your teammates is built into how this company operates

- Build and run the team. Direct project engineers, superintendents, and field staff, and take an active role in developing the people under you
- Own the commercial side. Buyout strategy, subcontract and vendor negotiation, change management, monthly cost forecasting, billings, and cash flow
- Be the client's main point of contact. Municipal owners, engineers of record, and inspection teams will look to you, and the relationships you build drive repeat work
- Drive planning and sequencing on complex treatment plant builds, including tie ins to live operating facilities where getting the sequence right is everything
- Partner with preconstruction and estimating on pursuits, participate in interviews, and help shape how projects are won as well as how they are built
Skills
- BS in Civil, Mechanical, Environmental, or Construction Engineering, or a related field, from an accredited university in the United States
- Experience working successfully on teams
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Strong interest in self-perform water infrastructure construction
