Water​/Wastewater Treatment Project Manager

Take Your Design Career to the Next Level

Are you ready to be challenged, make a difference, and experience professional growth in your career? Kleinfelder's Design team is looking for you! From bridge and structural engineering to civil, electrical, mechanical, and process engineering, Kleinfelder's collaborative Design Services create synergy across multiple disciplines.

Kleinfelder has a great opportunity for a Water / Wastewater Treatment Project Manager or Senior Project Engineer for our Ohio Offices (McClure, Hilliard, and Defiance); however, we are very flexible with remote work arrangements, so it is not necessary for the applicant to be in the office on a daily basis (flexibility is required for heavy travel to the office or client sites, as needed).

Kleinfelder also offers flexible 40‑hour workweek schedule such as 4 ten‑hour days. The ideal candidate will thrive as a vital part of a resourceful and collaborative water practice team, working across projects, markets, and offices. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to grow into a technical leadership or senior project manager role.

This position will mainly serve as project manager, design / treatment consultant, and client contact for projects in our Industrial and Commercial Water and Wastewater Division. You will lead and manage a multi‑discipline team for projects that include ultra‑pure water and drinking water systems, wastewater treatment, water reuse, system integration, permitting, and client specific projects. In addition, you will expand your professional network via collaboration with peers in water practices and further develop your career on both technical and business development fronts by leveraging our diverse portfolio of public/private water/wastewater work and clients across multiple geographies.
