Job Description
Local Projects | Project Ownership | Critical Infrastructure
A well-established civil and mechanical contractor in the Nashville area is seeking an experienced Water/Wastewater Project Manager to oversee complex municipal treatment plant projects from preconstruction through final closeout. This is an opportunity for a strong project leader who understands WTP/WWTP construction and takes pride in delivering essential infrastructure safely, efficiently, and profitably.
What You’ll Manage
- Water and wastewater treatment plant projects from preconstruction through completion
- Project budgets, schedules, forecasts, cost reports, and overall financial performance
- Process piping, mechanical systems, tankage, structural components, and related civil work
- RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, contracts, and project documentation
- Coordination with owners, engineers, municipalities, superintendents, subcontractors, and suppliers
- Procurement, material deliveries, subcontractor agreements, and project logistics
- Progress meetings, client communication, and regular project updates
- Project risks, field challenges, and solutions that keep work moving
- Safety, quality, regulatory, and contractual compliance
What You Bring
- 5+ years of project management experience in water and wastewater construction
- Strong knowledge of treatment plants, process piping, mechanical systems, and structural construction
- Proven ability to manage budgets, schedules, cost controls, and project profitability
- Experience leading both self-perform and subcontracted scopes of work
- Strong communication, organization, negotiation, and leadership skills
- Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, contracts, and technical documents
- A proactive approach to problem-solving, planning, and client relationships
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Strictly local work—remain close to home while managing meaningful projects
- Competitive compensation and full benefits
- Stable, long-term opportunity with a respected regional contractor
- Steady municipal project backlog throughout the Nashville area
- High-impact work supporting the region’s growing water and wastewater infrastructure
- A supportive leadership team that values its people and rewards strong performance
If you’re an experienced Project Manager ready to take ownership of complex water and wastewater projects in the Nashville area, we’d like to speak with you. Apply today.
