Arcadis' Resilience Water Business Advisory practice is seeking a Principal Management Consultant to support our efforts in the Digital Advisory Practice. Our team focuses on management consulting to support water, gas, and electric utilities with technology advisory, strategy development, feasibility analysis, process improvement, procurement, project management, and project implementation for projects like Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).

Utilities continue to face evolving operational challenges, driving the need for innovative and resilient solutions. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Advisory Leadership to strengthen Arcadis' presence in the utility technology arena, including AMI, customer information solutions, data analytics, and other related smart utility solutions. You will support the growth and delivery of these services, including developing and leading internal teams to execute projects to successful outcomes.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, executives, partners, vendors, and internal teams.
• Serving as a strategic liaison between technical teams and business stakeholders throughout project life cycles.
• Supporting utility clients in planning and executing AMI or other utility technology implementations across water, gas, electric, or multi‑utility operations.

• Leading and directing applicable user training and system testing activities.
• Coaching project personnel and promoting best practices to improve tools, processes, and overall performance.
• Providing annual thought leadership in these domains through key industry events and forums.
• Travel required on an as‑needed basis up to 30% per month.

To be successful in this role, you must be able to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels of a utility organization and manage client expectations to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction. Experience working with large water utilities – along with electric and gas utilities – is strongly preferred.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, a related discipline or equivalent experience.
• 10+ Years of progressive experience in the utility industry.
