We are not looking for someone to simply manage projects or maintain the status quo. Fehr Graham is looking for a proven wastewater leader who can influence how work is won, how projects are delivered and how the next generation of engineers develops.
You have spent years solving the problems that do not come with obvious answers. You know treatment processes, collection systems and pumping facilities. Clients trust your judgment.

What’s in it for you?
This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in the growth of our wastewater practice. You will have the backing of an established engineering and environmental firm, a strong base of municipal and industrial clients, and a team that is ready to grow. You will have room to lead by helping set technical standards, guiding decisions about where we invest, strengthening the team and pursuing the wastewater work where Fehr Graham can make a real difference.
You will have room to bring new ideas, question established approaches and help us improve how we work.
Base Salary: $175,000 - $225,000
In addition to a competitive base salary you will be eligible to receive performance bonus, sign-on bonus, relocation assistance, profit sharing, and comprehensive benefits.
