Oversee project planning, staffing, financial performance, schedules, and quality.
Guide multidisciplinary teams of engineers, architects, consultants, and technical professionals.
Mentor and develop project managers and technical staff.
Partner with other Walker leaders and offices to leverage expertise and resources across the organization.
Balance technical leadership, project delivery, people leadership, and practice growth.
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field.
Significant experience leading complex building design projects and multidisciplinary teams.
Professional Engineer (PE), Structural Engineer (SE), or Architect licensure.
Proven experience managing client relationships and developing new business.
Strong understanding of project financials, contracts, staffing, scheduling, and quality management.
Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop technical professionals and project leaders.
