Job description
We are conducting a confidential search for a senior leader to oversee a well-established engineering consulting operation in Michigan. This role is suited to a licensed civil engineer who combines technical credibility with strong business judgment, people leadership, and client-development experience.
The selected executive will have broad responsibility for the performance and continued growth of a multidisciplinary team. This person will work closely with company leadership while taking an active role in operations, project oversight, talent development, client relationships, and financial results.
What You’ll Lead
Day-to-day business operations and resource planning
Performance and development of technical and project-management teams
Project execution, quality, risk management, and client satisfaction
Business planning, forecasting, budgeting, and overall financial performance
Recruiting, retention, succession planning, and leadership development
Relationships with key public- and private-sector clients
Proposals, interviews, negotiations, and strategic growth initiatives
Improvements to internal systems, communication, and accountability
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering
Professional Engineer license in Michigan, or eligibility to obtain it
Significant progressive experience in civil engineering or a related consulting environment
A successful record of leading professional or technical teams
Experience overseeing projects, clients, budgets, and business performance
Working knowledge of contracts, scope control, quality practices, and professional risk
Strong communication, decision-making, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
A practical, visible leadership style grounded in integrity and accountability
Experience leading an engineering consulting office or business unit is strongly preferred. Familiarity with municipal infrastructure, land development, surveying, construction services, or related markets would be valuable, as would established professional relationships in Michigan.
Why Consider This Role
This is an opportunity to step into a meaningful leadership position with an established organization, an experienced team, and a strong client base. The person selected will have genuine influence over people, culture, operations, and future direction.
The position offers a competitive executive compensation package, performance-based incentives, comprehensive benefits, relocation support where appropriate, and the potential to participate in a long-term incentive program. Specific compensation and program details will be discussed confidentially with qualified candidates.
This is a hybrid position requiring a regular in-person presence in Michigan. The exact location, schedule, and employer identity will be shared during the confidential interview process.
