Title: Senior Project Manager
Location: Utah
Compensation: $120,000 - $200,000 (experience dependent)
To be considered for an interview, please make sure your application is full in line with the job specs as found below. I’m working with a growing engineering firm in Utah that is looking to add a senior water resources professional to its leadership team. This is an opportunity for someone who has built a strong technical career and is ready to have a bigger say in the projects they lead, the clients they work with and the people they develop. You’ll have the opportunity to lead major water resources and infrastructure projects, work directly with clients, mentor and develop engineers, and play a key role in growing the water practice.
What you’ll be doing:
  • Leading water resources and water infrastructure projects from inception through delivery
  • Managing and mentoring teams of PEs, EITs and other technical staff
  • Building strong, long-term relationships with clients
  • Taking the lead on proposals, pursuits and business development
  • Identifying new opportunities and growing existing client accounts
  • Providing senior technical direction across projects
  • Managing project budgets, schedules, resources and client expectations
  • Representing the firm within the regional water industry
  • Helping shape the continued growth of the water resources practice
  • The ideal background:7–15+ years of experience in water resources or water infrastructure
  • Strong project management and client-facing experience
  • Experience leading and developing technical teams
  • Background in areas such as water conveyance, pipelines, open-channel flow, hydraulic systems and water infrastructure
  • A strong network of relationships across the regional water industry
  • Experience developing business, winning work and growing client relationships
  • Excellent communication skills and a natural ability to build relationships
This role offers the chance to step into a position where your experience carries real weight. You’ll have the autonomy to lead projects, develop people, build client relationships and help shape where the water practice goes next. For an established water professional with a strong regional network, this is an opportunity to bring your experience, relationships and leadership style together in a role with genuine influence over the direction of the business. xhqgsiq If you're ready for a role where you can make an impact beyond the technical side of engineering, reach out to me directly for more information.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
