Description

Burns & McDonnell is looking for a Project Manager in the Environmental Services Global Practice to support the Environmental Engineering team located primarily in Kansas City, Omaha, and Oklahoma City.

Professional services and construction project types undertaken by the Environmental Engineering technical services area include general civil grading support, stormwater management, stream restoration, wetland restoration, solid waste facilities (MSW, industrial, and CCR), coastal restoration and resiliency, environmental remediation, coal combustion residuals, manufactured gas plants, mine reclamation and permitting, constructed wetland treatment systems, and multi-discipline capital projects involving facility development and expansions. Project types span planning studies, design-bid-build, and design-build. Current client types include electrical utility, solid waste, manufacturing, remediation, renewable energy, and others.

A majority of Environmental Engineering team members have a background in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or Environmental Planning.

Relevant day-to-day activities may include proposal development, marketing, defining scope of work and associated fee, development of client deliverables, providing technical guidance to project staff, negotiating with regulatory agencies, leading QA/QC tasks, managing subcontractors, contracts, schedules, and budgets.

The Project Manager will lead the project teams in a dynamic and profitable manner based on Burns & McDonnell's core values of client satisfaction, commitment, dedication, integrity, safety, and overall outstanding service.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture or related program from an accredited program.

• Minimum of 7 years of related professional experience. Preference of 10 years of experience.

• PE License or applicable credential.

• Experience with business development, client maintenance, and proposal development.

• Experience with project management, environmental regulation, and agency coordination (EPA, state agencies, etc.) is preferred.

• Experience executing civil/environmental engineering methods and practices in the preparation of bid-ready engineering designs, plans, specifications, estimates and reports.

• Experience directing and reviewing work products prepared by junior engineering staff.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to clearly communicate both verbal and written technical information and work effectively with various audiences (including public officials, agency representatives, property owners, businesses, clients, construction contractors, etc.).

• Demonstrated knowledge of civil and environmental engineering methods, permitting process, and construction compliance.

• Must be proficient in the use of computer software (i.e., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

• Valid driver's license required. In addition, must meet standards to qualify for and maintain the Company's vehicle driving privileges as outlined in the Company's Motor Vehicle Safety Policy.

• Ability to travel up to 25%, as required.

This job posting will remain open a minimum of 72 hours and on an ongoing basis until filled.
