Job Summary:

We are seeking a Project Manager - Public Infrastructure (Market Lead) to cover the Bay County Florida area and would be ideal for a dynamic, mid-career professional eager to expand their leadership and client management responsibilities while staying actively involved in the technical execution of projects. You will have the opportunity to grow within the organization, supported by senior leadership, experienced engineers, and production staff based in Pensacola. This role is about building on an established presence in the Bay County area, not creating one from scratch, with opportunities to grow the local team and establish a permanent office presence over time so, not just a business development role.

Your Day-To-Day Will Include:

• Collaborating with multi-disciplined project teams in an in-person office or hybrid work environment, supported by resources from our Pensacola office and a growing presence in Bay County and surrounding areas.
• Leading M&C's efforts to expand the firm's existing client base and project workload in Bay County, leveraging established relationships and identifying new opportunities, focusing primarily on municipal and/or utility clients.
• Building on the firm's current portfolio of past and active projects in the Bay County area by fostering strong client relationships and driving new business development.
• Managing and/or contributing to the technical design and execution of public infrastructure projects. This may include aspects of roadway design; drainage, stormwater management, and water quality systems; production, treatment, transmission, and distribution of potable or reclaim water; collection, pumping, treatment, and effluent disposal for sanitary sewer systems; and related public infrastructure.
• Conducting engineering assessments, preparing calculations and reports, developing technical specifications, obtaining regulatory permits, and supporting construction administration.
• Engaging and coordinating with internal teams, clients, regulatory authorities, and contractors through meetings, calls, and presentations.
• Pre-positioning for competitive solicitations, reviewing capital improvement plans and budgets, preparing technical approaches, coordinating with marketing teams, and delivering presentations.
• Mentoring and developing professional staff, with the goal of growing a Bay County team as the role matures.

What You Need:

• A valid driver's license and acceptable motor vehicle and criminal records.
• A Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field.
• FL Professional Engineer (PE) registration, or the ability to obtain it within 6 months of hire.
• At least 10 years of progressive experience in the design and project management of public infrastructure projects, with strong exposure to municipal and/or utility clients.
• A growth mindset and desire to lead strategic efforts to expand the firm's footprint in the Bay County area.
• Familiarity with design and permitting requirements for local, state, and federal agencies.
• Proven ability to manage multiple assignments, balancing technical design, business development, and client/project management responsibilities.
• Knowledge of hydraulic and/or stormwater modeling software such as EPANET, WaterCAD, WaterGEMS, SewerCAD, Innovyze, ICPR (StormWise), HEC-RAS, SWMM, or similar products.
• Proficiency with the Microsoft Office suite of products.
• Commitment to work in-person in the Bay County market, with a hybrid work-from-home/co-working space arrangement likely during the initial stages.

What Will Make You Stand Out:

• Demonstrated success in growing client relationships, securing new business, and executing projects, with references from senior municipal or utility personnel.
• Established knowledge of the Bay County area's public infrastructure landscape and existing professional relationships within the region.
• A proactive approach to professional growth, with aspirations to help establish a permanent office presence in the Bay County area.
• 15+ years of experience in public infrastructure projects.
• Experience contributing to business development and project management efforts in multiple markets.
