Lead Essential Infrastructure That Strengthens Communities

We are seeking a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer to lead municipal water and wastewater projects throughout the Tampa region. This is a high-visibility leadership role for an experienced project manager who thrives on delivering technically complex infrastructure improvements while building strong municipal client relationships.

You will oversee projects involving collection and conveyance systems, pump stations, storage facilities, and water and wastewater treatment plants — from planning and design through construction administration.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for major municipal clients
• Lead and manage water and wastewater infrastructure projects from concept through completion
• Oversee hydraulic design, permitting, and technical execution for:
  • Water distribution and treatment systems
  • Wastewater collection and treatment facilities
  • Pump stations, storage facilities, and rehabilitation projects
  • Guide multidisciplinary teams in evaluating alternatives and selecting preferred design solutions
  • Develop and manage project budgets and schedules
  • Prepare and oversee engineering reports, construction drawings, specifications, and cost estimates
  • Provide construction-phase services including site visits, meetings, and design clarifications
  • Support business development efforts, assist with proposal preparation, and help grow municipal client relationships
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong technical team culture

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil or Environmental Engineering (Master’s preferred)
• Active Florida Professional Engineer (PE) license
• 6+ years of progressive experience in municipal water/wastewater engineering
• Proven experience managing municipal treatment, distribution, and collection projects
• Strong understanding of permitting, regulatory compliance, and public-sector processes
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage budgets, and deliver profitable projects
• Experience preparing proposals and supporting business development efforts
• Strong communication and presentation skills

Why This Role Stands Out

• Hybrid work flexibility
• Competitive compensation and performance-based rewards
• Opportunity to lead high-impact municipal infrastructure projects
• Strong career growth potential with leadership visibility
• Collaborative and technically respected team environment
• Ongoing professional development and mentorship opportunities

This role is ideal for a licensed PE who wants to combine technical leadership, client engagement, and project delivery while making a tangible impact on community infrastructure.
