Massachusetts – Senior Project Manager / Team Leader – Water & Wastewater
Job Description
Lead Projects. Build Teams. Grow a Practice.
WSP is seeking an experienced water infrastructure leader to help strengthen and grow our Massachusetts water practice. This individual will lead major projects, develop staff, improve delivery performance, and help build a high-performing team capable of supporting continued growth throughout New England.
This role is ideal for a leader who finds as much satisfaction in developing people and building operational excellence as in delivering technically complex projects. You will work closely with regional leadership on growth initiatives, play a key role in recruiting and succession planning, and have real influence over how the practice operates and evolves.
Why This Role Is Different
The Massachusetts market is expanding — driven by MassDEP regulatory requirements, PFAS response, and a multi-year infrastructure investment cycle across municipal utilities throughout the Commonwealth. WSP is building the team to meet that demand. This is an opportunity to be part of that build — not to manage a steady-state operation.
- Influence how projects are delivered across the region
- Play a key role in recruiting, mentoring, and developing future leaders
- Work closely with regional leadership on growth and operational initiatives
- Clear path toward Area Manager, Operations Leader, and Practice Leader roles
What You'll Do
- Lead multidisciplinary water and wastewater infrastructure projects through planning, design, permitting, and construction phases
- Manage scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risk across concurrent programs
- Mentor project managers, engineers, and technical staff
- Support recruiting and succession planning as the practice grows
- Build strong client relationships and support strategic pursuits
- Drive continuous improvement in project delivery performance and standards
Ideal Candidate
- PE license required
- 10+ years of municipal water/wastewater consulting experience
- Proven project management and team leadership success on complex infrastructure programs
- Strong communication, mentoring, and organizational skills
- Familiarity with MassDEP permitting and regulatory requirements preferred
- Business development experience a plus
