Are you a Senior Project Manager passionate about advancing water reclamation and reuse?

CDM Smith is looking for a senior project manager who is genuinely passionate about helping communities and clients advance their water reuse and water reclamation efforts in the southeast US. If you enjoy building long-term client relationships, guiding teams through complex water challenges, and contributing to the rapid growth of reuse, this role gives you the chance to make a real impact.

Water reuse is expanding as utilities, industries, and municipalities search for reliable, sustainable water sources. Our clients are asking for partners who can support them-not just with technical expertise, but with thoughtful guidance, transparent communication, and a commitment to delivering on what we promise.

As a Senior Project Manager, you will:

- Support clients in developing and implementing reuse strategies that balance technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, and long-term community needs.

- Lead multidisciplinary teams through planning, design, and delivery of water reuse and reclamation projects-ranging from early feasibility to full implementation.

- Work collaboratively with sales leaders to evaluate potential new work and support the scoping and fee development effort.

- Foster and enhance client relationships by serving as a reliable and trusted point of contact, consistently delivering clarity and dependability throughout complex projects.

- Manage scope, schedule, budget, and risk with a focus on predictable delivery and high-quality outcomes.

- Collaborate across CDM Smith with experts in treatment, communications, conveyance, permitting, modeling, and construction services to bring holistic solutions forward.

- Mentor and develop emerging project managers and technical staff, helping build the next generation of water leaders.

- Contribute to the visibility of the firm's reuse industry recognition by attending and presenting at local and national related conferences and events.

- Identify opportunities to expand our role in water reuse, both with existing clients and new ones who are ready to explore more resilient water supply options.

Why Your Work Matters

Water reuse is no longer just an emerging practice-it's becoming a mainstream solution. Clients are looking for partners they trust to help them navigate change, explore new technologies, and move forward with confidence.

In this role, you'll be part of a team working on projects that:

- Strengthen drought resilience

- Reduce pressure on limited freshwater supplies

- Improve receiving water quality by reducing nutrients

- Support compliance with Florida's Senate Bill 64 Surface Water Discharge Elimination requirements

- Enable sustainable economic growth for communities

- Apply advanced treatment technologies responsibly

- Develop new, reliable water sources to utilities, industries, and regions that need them

Your work will directly support clients who are taking meaningful steps for a sustainable water future.
