Deep technical expertise in water/wastewater treatment, distribution, collection, and supporting infrastructure systems.
Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams while managing budgets, schedules, and performance metrics.
Strong understanding of QA/QC processes, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.
Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship‑building skills with clients and internal stakeholders.
Experience partnering with municipal utilities, public agencies, industrial clients, or regulated environments.
