Project Manager - Wastewater and Process Water

Position Summary

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Leads planning and execution of assigned civil/water infrastructure scopes from design coordination through construction, turnover, and closeout.

• Serves as the primary point of contact for contractors, consultants, and internal stakeholders for assigned packages.

• Establishes work plans, sequencing strategies, and weekly execution priorities aligned with program milestones.

• Manages water pillar-related scope, including scope definition, constructability input, contractor alignment, and field execution oversight.

• Oversees IW Pump House coordination and construction execution, including civil/structural interfaces and utility integration.

• Captures RAW/NPW (Raw / Non-Potable Water) systems scope, tie-ins, temporary systems (as required), and commissioning/turnover readiness.

• Owns permitting activities tied to stormwater, culverts, waterways, and relocation work, ensuring compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

• Coordinates with environmental teams, jurisdictional authorities, and consultants to maintain permit schedules and reporting requirements.

• Maintains accurate permit documentation, inspections, and compliance tracking.

• Manages storm water pond scope including excavation, grading, liners/structures (as applicable), erosion control, and final stabilization.

• Coordinates drainage infrastructure and related utilities to prevent conflicts and rework.

• Ledges 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.

• Develops and maintains detailed look-ahead plans (2-6 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.

• 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).

• Experience on semiconductor, data center, advanced manufacturing, or similarly complex industrial campuses.

• Familiarity with SWPPP, erosion and sediment control (ESC), and environmental monitoring requirements.

• PMP certification or equivalent project management credential.
