Lead the projects your community depends on. Shape what comes next.
HR Green is growing our Water Resources practice in Florida, and we're looking for a highly motivated Project Manager to help lead that growth. Sarasota is the preferred location , though other Florida locations may be considered for the right candidate.
You'll lead water resources projects from planning and preliminary engineering through design, permitting, and construction support. This is a seller/doer role where you'll combine technical expertise and project leadership with client relationships and business development.
Your work will focus on hydrologic/hydraulic (H&H) modeling, stormwater design, and flood resiliency, with opportunities to address both inland and coastal water resources challenges.
Why This Role Stands Out
Lead technical stormwater work through the full lifecycle: planning, design, permitting, and construction support
Own project scope, budget, schedule, and quality of deliverables
Build trusted, long-term client relationships
Help grow the Florida Water Resources practice through business development and pursuit activities
Collaborate across Water Resources, Potable Water, and Wastewater Practices
What You'll Do
Lead the planning, design, and delivery of water resources projects, including drainage studies and design, stormwater management, flood mitigation, flood resiliency, and watershed planning
Serve as a primary client contact and trusted technical advisor
Manage project scope, budgets, schedules, staffing, and overall project performance
Develop and review technical reports, design plans, specifications, cost estimates, and permitting documents
Coordinate multidisciplinary project teams and lead QA/QC efforts
Navigate applicable Florida regulatory and permitting requirements
Identify opportunities with existing and prospective clients and contribute to proposals, pursuits, interviews, and presentations
Develop scopes, fees, and project approaches for new opportunities
Mentor and guide junior engineers and project staff
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field
10+ years of experience in water resources engineering or a related field
Professional Engineer (PE) license in Florida or ability to obtain within 6 months
Strong experience with drainage studies and design, stormwater management, and hydrologic/hydraulic analysis
Strong project management experience, including scope, budget, schedule, and delivery
Experience leading teams and managing client relationships
Experience with flood resiliency, floodplain management, and watershed planning
Experience developing proposals, scopes, fees, and project approaches preferred
Florida water resources permitting, regulatory, or local agency experience preferred
Coastal modeling, storm surge, or coastal resiliency experience is a plus; strong inland modeling experience is also highly valued
Strong written and verbal communication skills
