Novi, Michigan, United States of America

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to join our team in Novi.

You'll lead signature road, highway, and bridge design projects for MDOT and municipal clients—projects that make roads safer, communities stronger, and economies thrive. Your leadership will accelerate our growth across the Great Lakes region, building on the momentum of our recent C2AE acquisition and combining local expertise with global resources to deliver solutions that scale.

From day one, you'll be driving impact. In your first year, you'll secure key wins with MDOT and municipal clients, strengthen relationships that turn projects into partnerships, and build a high-performing team ready to deliver excellence. Fast forward five years, and you're steering multi-state programs, shaping regional strategy, and leading a team that tackles some of the most complex transportation projects across the Great Lakes.

What Makes It Unique
Few roles offer this level of influence: a chance to define strategy, lead transformative initiatives, and leave a lasting mark on transportation for generations. You'll have the autonomy to lead—and the resources of a global leader to make it happen. A career-defining opportunity to expand capabilities, shape regional strategy, and make your mark.

You're a seasoned transportation leader with a track record of delivering complex projects—and inspiring teams to do their best work. You know how to turn client relationships into partnerships and projects into legacies.

  • Proven experience in transportation infrastructure design and project management.
  • Strong technical and communication skills; ability to hire, train, and inspire.
  • Established credibility with MDOT and municipal clients

Your role

  • Impact & Purpose:
    • Shaping how Michigan moves—roads safer, communities stronger, mobility smarter.

  • Leadership & Autonomy:
    • Leading signature road, highway, and bridge design projects.
    • Defining strategy and steering transformative initiatives.
    • Autonomy to lead with the backing of global resources.
  • Growth & Strategic Influence:
    • Accelerating regional growth, especially post-C2AE acquisition.
    • Expanding capabilities and shaping regional strategy.
    • Career-defining opportunity with influence beyond project delivery.
  • Why Join:
    • Role is pivotal to achieving a bold five-year vision.
    • Backed by global strength and local expertise.
    • Opportunity to influence projects that matter to millions.
