Job description

Creativity. Innovation. A desire to effect positive change. That’s what it takes to work at Fuss & O’Neill – because that’s what we do for the communities in which we work: we create, innovate, and design long-lasting improvements that improve quality of life. Quality of life is also important on the job, so we’ve prioritized work-life balance by offering flexible/remote work opportunities, part-time benefits, and generous PTO.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Drinking Water Project Manager to lead and deliver complex water infrastructure projects that support safe, reliable, and sustainable drinking water systems. This role is ideal for a technically strong and client-focused professional with expertise in potable water systems, water storage infrastructure, and emerging contaminants such as PFAS.

You will help address evolving water quality challenges, navigate regulatory requirements, and implement innovative, resilient solutions that protect public health and strengthen community infrastructure. Your work will span the full project lifecycle—from source water evaluation and hydraulic modeling through design, permitting, construction, and project closeout—offering a dynamic and impactful career path.

This is also an opportunity to contribute to the continued growth of our drinking water practice. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor junior staff, and engage directly with clients and stakeholders, helping to drive both technical excellence and business development initiatives.
