The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Project Manager to own project delivery end-to-end and lead the engineers and designers who make it happen. You’ll hold the client relationship, carry accountability for scope, schedule, budget, and profitability, and mentor the next generation of our technical team. If you want to help build something, not just work inside it, this is the opportunity.

Who Thrives Here

You have outgrown being purely technical, and you are ready to lead. You are a licensed P.E. who has managed projects and mentored the people delivering them, and you want to own outcomes — the client, the schedule, the budget, the quality — at a higher level. You are energized by joining a firm at a pivotal growth stage, where your decisions carry weight, your leadership shapes the culture, and your trajectory is genuinely tied to the firm's success, with a real path to senior leadership. You don't need hand-holding; you don't wait to be told what to do, and you treat every project like your name is on it — because in this role, it will be.
