Powered by record sales, extraordinary client retention, strategic acquisitions, and an entrepreneurial spirit, Apex Companies is one of the fastest growing engineering and environmental consulting firms in the US. We were recently recognized by the Zweig Group as one of the fastest growing firms in the AEC industry. We take pride in providing our clients with exceptional service and have earned numerous awards for project excellence. We continue to grow, and we want you to grow with us.

Apex is expanding our Infrastructure Practice and seeking a Principal‑level leader to build and grow our Water/Wastewater business in one of our target Northeast markets: Springfield or Worcester, Massachusetts; Manchester, New Hampshire; or Southwest Connecticut.

The successful candidate will lead business development and project delivery for municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects in their local geography, supported by Apex’s national resources and multidisciplinary teams.

If you are an entrepreneurial leader with a track record of building markets, winning work, and delivering impactful infrastructure projects, we invite you to join Apex and help shape the next chapter of our Infrastructure growth.

We are offering a sign‑on bonus as well as relocation for the right candidate.
