Project Manager, Municipal Engineer - ( 240002VH )

Description

Strong communities don't just happen—they're built. They're creatively imagined, collaboratively planned, and readied to face tomorrow with optimism. Many of the world’s top engineers come together in our Water business because they view a community’s interaction with water a bit differently—as a single holistic system, rather than unconnected networks divided by jurisdictional boundaries. Our experts lead their fields, collaborating on projects that are as technically challenging as they are impactful, creative, and fulfilling. Every day, we help communities improve and grow with a vision for future generations. By 2025 we’re hiring 2,000 people (like you) to join our team. Grow with us, H2O+U.
