Project Manager - Water/Wastewater Construction

Local Projects | Project Ownership | Critical Infrastructure

A well-established civil and mechanical contractor in the Nashville area is seeking an experienced Water/Wastewater Project Manager to oversee complex municipal treatment plant projects from preconstruction through final closeout. This is an opportunity for a strong project leader who understands WTP/WWTP construction and takes pride in delivering essential infrastructure safely, efficiently, and profitably.

What You’ll Manage

• Water and wastewater treatment plant projects from preconstruction through completion
• Project budgets, schedules, forecasts, cost reports, and overall financial performance
• Process piping, mechanical systems, tankage, structural components, and related civil work
• RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, contracts, and project documentation
• Coordination with owners, engineers, municipalities, superintendents, subcontractors, and suppliers
• Procurement, material deliveries, subcontractor agreements, and project logistics
• Progress meetings, client communication, and regular project updates
• Project risks, field challenges, and solutions that keep work moving
• Safety, quality, regulatory, and contractual compliance

What You Bring

• 5+ years of project management experience in water and wastewater construction
• Strong knowledge of treatment plants, process piping, mechanical systems, and structural construction
• Proven ability to manage budgets, schedules, cost controls, and project profitability
• Experience leading both self-perform and subcontracted scopes of work
• Strong communication, organization, negotiation, and leadership skills
• Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, contracts, and technical documents
• A proactive approach to problem-solving, planning, and client relationships

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Strictly local work—remain close to home while managing meaningful projects
• Competitive compensation and full benefits
• Stable, long-term opportunity with a respected regional contractor
• Steady municipal project backlog throughout the Nashville area
• High-impact work supporting the region’s growing water and wastewater infrastructure
• A supportive leadership team that values its people and rewards strong performance
