Water/Wastewater Assistant Project Manager
About The Position
At WithersRavenel, our work in water and wastewater is more than just engineering – it's about protecting communities, sustaining resources, and improving quality of life for generations to come. We are looking for an Assistant Project Manager who is ready to contribute with both technical expertise and a collaborative mindset. As an Assistant Project Manager, you'll support meaningful projects that ensure safe, reliable, and sustainable water systems. You'll collaborate with municipalities, clients, and internal teams to help solve complex challenges, while growing your skills and learning from experienced mentors. This is an opportunity to be part of a team that makes a tangible difference, to contribute innovative ideas, and to see your work impact the daily lives of thousands of people. This opportunity is a hybrid role based out of our Asheville, North Carolina office. Candidates within a reasonable commute—Hendersonville, Waynesville, and nearby communities—are encouraged to apply. Why WithersRavenel? We're more than an engineering firm. We're 100% employee-owned, which means every decision we make is about people, not shareholders. You'll have a voice here, and the chance to grow both your career and your impact.
