We’re partnering with a respected engineering firm that has built a strong reputation delivering complex municipal water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Their pipeline is strong, their client relationships are long-standing, and they’re expanding their senior leadership bench.
They are specifically looking for someone with a heavy water / wastewater background — not surface-level exposure. This role is built for an engineer who has spent years in the trenches of treatment plants, pump stations, distribution systems, collection systems, and large-scale municipal infrastructure upgrades.
If you understand regulatory environments, capital improvement programs, and how to manage multi-million-dollar public works projects — this is your lane.

- Deep experience serving municipal clients
- Heavy background in water and wastewater planning, design, and construction services
- Experience writing proposals, scopes, and budgets
- Strong client-facing communication skills
- Proven project management success
This is for a water / wastewater specialist who:
- Has led treatment plant or major utility infrastructure projects
- Understands public-sector clients and funding cycles
- Wants to move beyond just technical execution and influence client growth
- Can manage staff while maintaining strong municipal relationships
- Is comfortable being accountable for performance and revenue
- $120,000–$150,000 base (flexible higher for the right candidate)
