Lead the projects your community depends on. Shape what comes next.
At HR Green, we help communities grow and thrive through thoughtful infrastructure solutions. This role supports our Water Resources team and collaborates across disciplines — including Water Resources, Potable Water, and Wastewater — giving you a broad view of how systems come together.
As a Project Manager, you’ll lead projects from early strategy through design and construction — guiding teams, partnering with clients, and ensuring successful delivery. You’ll play a key role in shaping solutions that have lasting community impact.

Lead full project lifecycle (planning → design → construction)
Direct client relationships and project strategy
Manage multiple projects with real community impact
Influence business development and growth opportunities
Lead and mentor project teams
What You’ll Do
Lead the planning, design, and delivery of water resources projects (stormwater, flood mitigation, stream restoration, watershed planning)
Serve as the primary client contact and build long-term client relationships
Develop scopes, budgets, and project schedules
Manage project performance to ensure delivery on time and on budget
Oversee hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality analyses
Coordinate multidisciplinary teams across Water Resources, Wastewater, and Potable Water
Lead QA/QC processes and uphold design and quality standards
Support business development efforts, including proposals and client presentations
Mentor and guide engineers and project staff
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (or related field)
~10+ years of experience in water resources or related field
Professional Engineer (PE) license required
Strong project management experience (scope, budget, schedule)
Experience leading teams and managing client relationships
Background in hydrologic/hydraulic modeling and master planning preferred
