About The Position

Civil Science is seeking a driven and experienced Public Works Project Manager to support and grow our public works practice in Utah (Salt Lake City or Lehi Office). This is more than a traditional project management role — it’s an opportunity to play a key role in a growing market. You’ll lead meaningful municipal infrastructure projects that directly impact the communities we serve, while building strong relationships with local agencies and stakeholders. We’re looking for a licensed engineer who thrives in a client-facing role — someone who takes ownership of project delivery, leads collaborative teams, and enjoys guiding projects from concept through completion. You’ll step into an active backlog of work with immediate opportunities to contribute and help expand our presence across Idaho. At Civil Science, you won’t just contribute — you’ll have a stake in what we’re building. As a 100% employee-owned company, our culture is rooted in accountability, collaboration, and long-term thinking, giving you the opportunity to grow your career while helping shape the future of our Utah operations.
