Job description

We’re partnered with an award-winning multidisciplinary design and engineering firm looking for an experienced Civil Engineering Project Manager to join their Nashville team.

This is a great opportunity for a PE with a strong technical foundation who is ready to spend more time leading projects, developing engineers, and working directly with clients.

What You’ll Do

• Lead civil/site and land development projects from design through delivery
• Serve as a primary client contact
• Manage project schedules, budgets, deliverables and quality
• Lead, delegate work to, and mentor engineers and designers
• Review technical design across grading, drainage/stormwater, utilities and site infrastructure
• Lead client and regulatory agency meetings
• Support proposals and business development
• Work across commercial, residential, industrial, institutional and community-focused projects

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering
• Tennessee PE or ability to obtain one
• 7+ years of civil engineering experience
• Strong civil/site and land development background
• Experience managing projects, clients and design teams
• Strong understanding of AutoCAD Civil 3D
• Comfortable understanding and reviewing the technical work while delegating design production
• Strong leadership, mentoring and client-facing skills

What’s Offered

• $115,000 – $145,000, depending on experience
• Flexible schedule, including a four-day, 9-hour workweek option to earn half-day Fridays
• Two discretionary bonuses per year, historically based on company performance
• 172+ hours (21+ days) of time off to accrue, including vacation, personal time and holidays
• Nearly 100% of the full employee premium covered for medical, dental, vision and long-term disability insurance

• Clear career progression with hands-on mentorship and active leadership involvement
• Opportunity to grow your project leadership, client relationships and business development experience
• Confidential Care Coach for mental health and well-being support

If you’re at the point where you still enjoy the technical side of engineering but would rather lead the work, mentor a team and work with clients than produce every plan yourself, this will be a great next step.
