This is a high-impact role for a technical expert and proven leader who thrives on interfacing directly with clients to ensure successful project outcomes, managing complex projects and mentoring teams. Deep experience with water and wastewater system engineering is a necessity.
The Group Manager – Water Resources Engineering is the entrepreneurial and strategic leader responsible for driving growth, operational excellence, and financial success for the Water Resources Engineering Group at CP Engineers. This leadership role goes well beyond project management: you will shape team culture, own KPIs, make key hiring decisions, and lead the group as a full‑fledged business unit within the organization.

- Define and execute annual and long‑term business plans for the Water Resources Engineering Group, fully aligned with CP Engineers’ companywide vision.
- Establish, monitor, and exceed group‑level KPIs covering revenue growth, financial utilization, labor multiplier, and client retention.
- Run the group as a business, including forecasting, resource planning, and identifying new opportunities for growth.
- Lead efforts to hire, onboard, and develop high‑performers (including Project Managers, Market Managers, and key engineers).
- Own the group’s financial health: oversee revenue, profitability, budget stewardship, and capital planning.
- Optimize use of project management and financial tools (e.g., Ajera) to actively monitor and improve key metrics.
- Ensure streamlined billing cycles, efficient management of work‑in‑progress (WIP), and strong receivables performance.
- Help set and guide pricing, proposal, and contract strategies.
- Promote and lead major organizational changes that strengthen how the Water Resources Engineering Group functions.
- Champion continuous improvement, adoption of new technologies, and consistent implementation of best practices.
- Foster a collaborative, accountable, and high‑performance environment—ensuring team engagement and alignment with organizational goals.
- Build durable client relationships focused on satisfaction, sustainability, and repeat engagements.
- Represent CP Engineers at high‑level meetings, public forums, and industry events, further strengthening the firm’s market position.
- Oversee client transitions, relationship continuity, and quality project delivery.
- Direct and refine group marketing and pursuit efforts, making full use of CRM and analytics for smarter business development.
- Recruit, coach, and mentor a multidisciplinary team to assure both professional growth and delivery excellence.
- Conduct regular staff reviews and collaborate on individualized development plans that support company objectives.
- Drive accountability for individual and group KPIs and ensure compliance with all personnel policies and procedures.
- Oversee all phases of wastewater infrastructure projects, including collection, conveyance, and treatment systems for municipal and county utility authorities.
- Apply advanced knowledge of physical, chemical, and biological water and wastewater processes, hydraulics, and treatment plant design.
- Provide senior oversight across all group projects, ensuring delivery meets standards for quality, budget, and timeliness.
- Standardize project management practices in alignment with established company controls and policies.
- Implement robust QA/QC procedures and actively support risk management and continuous learning within the team.
