  • Lead municipal drinking water and lead service line replacement programs from planning through design and construction.
  • Manage projects from initiation through completion, ensuring scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, staffing, and client satisfaction.
  • Coordinate engineering studies, calculations, plans, specifications, cost estimates, permitting documents, bid packages, and construction deliverables.
  • Provide technical leadership and oversight for complex water infrastructure projects.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to municipal clients, helping them evaluate infrastructure needs and establish priorities.
  • Coordinate with utilities, regulatory agencies, contractors, subconsultants, residents, and other key stakeholders.
