Overview

As a Civil Engineering Project Manager for Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., in our Waste Management Practice in the Pittsburgh office, you’ll manage projects primarily associated with waste facilities. You’ll be an integral member of our team working on a variety of civil engineering and environmental science projects. You will lead projects through all phases of development, from planning and design through permitting, construction administration, and final certification, working with an established team of professionals to solve problems, reduce risk and costs, optimize performance, and satisfy client needs. You’ll manage project teams to be responsible for calculating airspace and earthwork volumes; preparing and reviewing technical reports; designing stormwater management systems, leachate management systems, and landfill gas collection systems; and performing geotechnical analyses.

While interacting with clients, contractors, and state regulatory officials, you will lead all phases of project execution, including planning, design, regulatory approvals, and construction administration.

 

In addition, you will partner with your fellow managers and Principals to mentor staff and support their professional development through annual performance reviews, coaching, and the establishment of career development goals. In turn, CEC’s senior management team will support your professional growth through mentoring, project management training, and business development opportunities tailored to your career goals.
