Senior Project Manager – Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) 
Omaha, NE (Relocation Assistance Provided) 
 
Are you a seasoned municipal wastewater construction leader who thrives on delivering complex treatment plant projects that communities depend on every day? 
  
Our client is a respected heavy civil contractor with a strong national footprint in municipal wastewater infrastructure. They are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead high-profile WWTP projects up to $50M in annual revenue. This is a high-impact role with real autonomy, strong executive visibility, and long-term career runway. 
 
If you have experience managing public-sector wastewater treatment plant construction—from headworks and clarifiers to process piping, structures, and commissioning—this is an opportunity to take ownership of marquee projects in a growing Midwest market. 
  
What You’ll Do 
 
As the Senior Project Manager – WWTP, you will serve as the primary driver of project success, overseeing all phases of municipal wastewater treatment plant construction, from preconstruction through closeout. 
  
You will: 
  
  • Lead project planning, startup, execution, and closeout for large-scale municipal WWTP projects 
     
     
  • Partner closely with Preconstruction and Estimating to develop, refine, and manage project budgets, schedules, and cost reports 
     
     
  • Direct subcontractor procurement, including scope development, bid reviews, negotiations, and contract execution 
     
     
  • Manage and mentor project teams, including hiring key field staff and specialty subcontractors 
     
     
  • Own project financial performance, including forecasting, cost control, change management, and P&L responsibility 
     
     
  • Serve as the primary point of contact with municipal clients, engineers, and inspectors, ensuring expectations are exceeded 
     
     
  • Drive schedule adherence, milestone achievement, and proactive risk mitigation 
     
     
  • Oversee change order strategy—identifying change events, pricing work, negotiating approvals, and protecting margin 
     
     
  • Ensure strict compliance with safety (HSE), quality, and regulatory requirements common to municipal wastewater projects 
     
     
  • Support pre-award efforts by contributing to scope reviews, constructability input, and estimating when needed 
     
     
  • Provide clear, executive-level project reporting on progress, risks, and recommended actions 
     
What We’re Looking For 
 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil/Environmental Engineering, or related field 
     
     
  • 5+ years of project management experience, with a strong preference for municipal wastewater treatment plant construction 
     
     
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex WWTP scopes such as: 
     
     
  • Process structures and basins 
     
     
  • Mechanical and process piping 
     
     
  • Concrete structures 
     
     
  • Pump stations, headworks, and treatment systems 
     
     
  • Strong command of project controls, estimating, scheduling, cost forecasting, and contract management 
     
     
  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and interface effectively with public-sector owners 
     
     
  • Proficiency with construction scheduling and project management software 
     
     
  • Results-driven mindset with the confidence to make decisions and lead from the front 
     
Why This Role Stands Out 
 
 
  • Major municipal WWTP projects with long durations and meaningful community impact 
     
     
  • Relocation assistance provided to Omaha, NE 
     
     
  • Strong backlog and stability in the municipal water/wastewater market 
     
     
  • Opportunity to grow within a well-established contractor with national reach 
     
     
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and long-term career advancement
