Project Manager - Wastewater and Process Water

Project Manager Civil / Water Infrastructure

The Project Manager is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing critical civil and water infrastructure scopes on a large, complex industrial construction program in Boise, Idaho. This role provides day-to-day leadership across engineering coordination, permitting, contractor oversight, schedule and cost control, and field execution. The Project Manager will focus heavily on water-related and site-civil deliverables including Water Pillar scope, IW Pump House, RAW/NPW systems, permitting, storm water pond construction, box culvert installation, and a 5-mile creek relocation effort.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role requiring strong field presence, stakeholder management, and proven experience delivering regulated civil/water infrastructure packages safely, on schedule, and to spec.

Box Culvert & Creek Relocation

• Leads box culvert planning and installation, ensuring structural, hydraulic, and site integration requirements are met.
• Manages a 5-mile creek relocation effort, including alignment coordination, erosion control, environmental compliance, and construction sequencing.
• Ensures monitoring, documentation, and quality requirements are maintained for waterway-related work.

Schedule, Cost, and Reporting

• Develops and maintains detailed look-ahead plans (26 weeks) and supports master schedule integration.
• Tracks budget, forecasts cost-to-complete, manages change orders, and documents scope changes.
• Produces weekly status reports highlighting progress, constraints, risks, and mitigation actions.

Safety, Quality, and Risk Management

• Enforces jobsite safety standards and ensures contractors comply with safety plans and requirements.
• Leads quality planning and verification for assigned scopes, including inspections, testing, and punch list management.
• Identifies project risks early and implements mitigation plans to protect schedule and budget.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of project management experience in heavy civil, water infrastructure, utilities, or large-scale industrial construction.
• Demonstrated experience managing permitting and regulatory coordination for civil/waterway or stormwater scopes.
• Proven experience with pump houses, raw/non-potable water systems (RAW/NPW), stormwater infrastructure, and complex site-civil packages.
• Experience executing box culvert work and/or drainage/culvert structures in active construction environments.
• Experience supporting or leading creek/stream relocation or waterway modification scopes (environmental compliance and sequencing strongly preferred).
• Strong working knowledge of construction planning, subcontract management, cost control, and schedule management.
• Ability to work on-site in Boise, Idaho and maintain consistent field presence.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to coordinate across owners, engineers, contractors, and authorities.
