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
