- Review and approve technical designs, specifications, and deliverables
- Support business development efforts, including proposal preparation and client relationship management
- Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations and industry standards
- Mentor and support junior engineering staff as the team continues to grow
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field
- 5–10+ years of experience managing water and wastewater infrastructure projects
- Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred (or ability to obtain)
- Strong knowledge of water/wastewater treatment systems, pipelines, and related infrastructure
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
- Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills
- Experience working with municipal clients and public sector projects is highly preferred
Compensation & Benefits:
- Base salary: $130,000 – $140,000, commensurate with experience
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and company holidays
- Opportunities for professional development and career advancement
Why Join Us:
- Opportunity to be part of a newly established and rapidly growing Orlando team
- Exposure to high-impact, high-visibility infrastructure projects
- Ability to shape processes and contribute to team development from the ground up
- Strong pipeline of work supporting long-term stability and growth
Impact of the Role:
