Civil Engineering Project Manager

Little Diversified Architectural Consulting • Mc Lean, VA

3h • Onsite

About The Position

Great sites don't happen by accident. The parking that flows, the stormwater you never notice, the site that opens on schedule, that's civil engineering done right, and it's what we do. When you join Little, you join a national team whose work helps clients grow and communities thrive. In short, we're here to create a better future. Little is looking for a Civil Engineering Project Manager with a positive, collaborative work style to join our Land Studio in the Tysons, VA office, in the Washington, DC metro. This role is built around one of our valued corporate retail clients and an ongoing body of work. You'll be the primary point of contact for the client, manage the program of projects from concept through construction, and have a direct hand in growing the account. You'll lead and work alongside a team of engineers, landscape architects, and architects to produce and execute exceptional work. The retail program is the core of this role, but our Land Studio works across a range of project types, so there's room to broaden your experience over time. You'll own the client relationship, run an active book of work, and have the autonomy and support to make it yours. If you want a clear path toward greater responsibility and account leadership, this is a place to build it.
