About The Position

Apex is seeking a bold, growth-driven National Service Line Leader – Infrastructure to build and execute a national infrastructure strategy that accelerates our expansion in water and wastewater infrastructure, civil/site engineering, and transportation engineering services. This role is designed for a strategic leader who can unify and amplify our existing teams, identify and scale high-potential disciplines and geographies, and drive an aggressive growth agenda through modern delivery models—including communities of practice, engineering design centers, and AI-enabled design and delivery. This role will also fully own the infrastructure regulatory and funding landscape - federal and state - including how mandates translate into client demand, how programs are funded (formula, SRF and grant mechanisms), and how those funding pathways drive timing, procurement, and win strategy. This position will sit at the intersection of strategy, growth, operations, talent, and innovation—partnering closely with Regional Business Unit P&L Leaders and Growth teams to strengthen collaboration across markets, unlock capacity, increase win rates, expand key accounts, and create repeatable delivery excellence at scale.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline .
15+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering/consulting, including 10+ years in leadership roles with national or multi-region responsibility.
Demonstrated success building and executing growth strategies, driving pipeline creation, pursuit excellence, and revenue expansion.
Strong understanding of water/wastewater and/or civil/transportation delivery models (municipal, utility, DOT, and private owner contexts).
Proven ability to operate effectively in a matrixed organization, partnering across P&L business units and commercial teams to align priorities and execute.
Exceptional communication, collaboration, and organizational skills with the presence to lead internally and credibly represent Apex externally.

Nice To Haves

Track record leading large-scale infrastructure programs (planning, design, program management, or design-build support) across multiple geographies.
Experience building engineering centers, shared services, centers of excellence, or communities of practice to scale delivery.
Ability to translate regulatory and funding intelligence into actionable growth playbooks and enablement for multi-region teams
Comfort with data-driven management—CRM discipline, financial performance tracking, and KPI execution.
Passion for innovation, especially applying AI, automation, and digital workflows to improve engineering delivery outcomes.
Experience evaluating acquisition or team-lift opportunities to accelerate capability and geographic expansion.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute a national infrastructure strategy aligned with Apex’s commercial objectives and long-range growth plans.
Identify priority geographic expansion targets, disciplines, and service offerings across water/wastewater, civil/site, and transportation.
Implement a multi-year roadmap covering market segmentation, target client profiles, pursuit strategy, delivery capacity, hiring plans, and investment priorities.
Establish scalable go-to-market strategy and repeatable playbooks for key infrastructure pursuits and programs.
Integrate regulatory and funding-driven demand drivers into the strategy so the roadmap reflects what is mandated, funded, and time-bound (not just “market opportunity”)
Lead national business development efforts across public and private infrastructure markets, identifying new markets and expanding existing client relationships.
Oversee growth plans to improve win rates and contract quality.
Partner with Growth leaders, Principals, Program Managers, and marketing teams to drive cross-sell opportunities.
Strengthen Apex’s positioning for large-scale programs and MSAs within public/private end markets, serving as a senior leader in the commercial strategy.
Represent Apex at industry events and forums to elevate brand visibility and thought leadership in infrastructure delivery and innovation.
Design and deploy communities of practice that unify technical standards, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and consistent QA/QC across regions.
Grow strategic client relationships and expand Apex’s relevance in water/wastewater, civil/site engineering, and transportation end markets, both public and private.
Scale repeatable regulatory compliance playbooks into new geographies.
Own the regulatory and funding intelligence engine: maintain a clear view of federal/state mandates relevant to infrastructure growth and how those mandates are funded, then translate that into local pursuit playbooks that increase win rates and accelerate backlog conversion.
