Municipal Project Manager

Municipal Project Manager - Fargo, ND

Are you a driven civil engineer with a passion for shaping communities through impactful infrastructure design? AE2S is looking for an entrepreneurial Municipal Project Manager to lead and grow our municipal services. This is more than a municipal project management role — it's an opportunity to build and expand a team, develop and foster client relationships, and take ownership of projects that improve how communities live, work, and grow.

In this role, you’ll work closely with municipal clients to develop and lead projects from concept to completion, managing both technical execution and client engagement. Projects are anticipated to be focused on site development, underground utilities (water, wastewater, storm infrastructure), and grading/paving. Your leadership as the Municipal Project Manager will help cultivate a team of engineers and designers while delivering innovative, cost-effective solutions for municipalities, developers, and public agencies.

If you're ready to take the next step in your career — with the support of a recognized engineering firm known for its culture and client service — we want to hear from you.
