Massachusetts – Senior Project Manager / Client Service Leader – Water & Wastewater

Shape the Future of Water Infrastructure Across New England

This is not a traditional project management role. WSP is seeking a recognized municipal water leader who can grow client relationships, win strategic work, and lead delivery of some of the region's most important water and wastewater programs.

As a Senior Project Manager / Client Service Leader, you will serve as a trusted advisor to municipal and utility clients while helping expand our presence throughout Massachusetts and New England. You will have access to a deep national bench of technical experts — allowing you to focus on client leadership, project success, and market growth.

Why This Role Is Different

Massachusetts is in the midst of a major infrastructure investment cycle. MassDEP compliance obligations, PFAS response programs, aging conveyance and treatment infrastructure, and the push toward comprehensive asset management are driving capital programs across the Commonwealth. WSP is actively building its presence in this market — and this role is the platform to lead that growth. You will not be inheriting a mature book of business and managing the status quo. You will be shaping it.

• Opportunity to build and expand a growing practice rather than simply manage projects
• Significant autonomy to develop clients, pursue opportunities, and shape market strategy
• Access to national technical resources and subject matter experts
• Clear pathway toward Client Director, Practice Leader, and Regional Leadership roles

What You'll Do

• Develop and strengthen executive-level relationships with municipal water and wastewater clients, utilities, and state agencies
• Lead business development, strategic positioning, capture planning, proposals, interviews, and contract negotiations
• Serve as Project Manager or Program Manager on major treatment, conveyance, pumping, resiliency, and asset management programs
• Collaborate with regional and national technical leaders to deliver exceptional client outcomes
• Mentor project managers and technical staff
• Represent WSP through NEWEA, MWWA, AWWA, ACEC, and regional industry events
• Help shape growth strategy for the New England water market

Ideal Candidate

• PE license required
• 12+ years of municipal water/wastewater consulting experience
• Established relationships with Massachusetts municipalities, utilities, and MassDEP
• Demonstrated success winning and delivering complex infrastructure programs
• Strong executive presence and client-facing leadership skills
• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams across planning, design, and construction phases
