WithersRavenel is recruiting a Project Manager to join our expanding and innovative Design + Planning Practice Area!  

Are you passionate about projects like Civic Spaces, Parks, Greenways, Streetscapes and other public realm projects? We are looking for an Engineering Project Manager to join our multidisciplinary 30+ member Design+Planning team.  This is a great opportunity to work in a collaborative culture, mentor, support and grow your team, and deliver quality solutions to clients on time and within budget.  WR is employee owned and puts an emphasis on professional development and training wherever you are on your career journey.  

This is a hybrid role and is based out of our downtown Raleigh, NC office.  We define a hybrid work arrangement as one where employees and supervisors collaborate to establish an in- and out-of-office schedule that “works” for all involved.   

Project Managers are accountable for the systematic and consistent execution of projects, ensuring the success of clients, the Practice Area, and the Company. Their responsibilities encompass project, client, and team management, including coordinating resources, forecasting workloads, managing projects, and maintaining client relationships throughout a project's lifecycle and beyond. They oversee financial performance, adhere to Company and Practice Area standards, and ensure quality control in design and construction. Additionally, they provide technical leadership by analyzing complex problems, implementing innovative solutions, and enforcing technical policies. As leaders, Project Managers foster a positive work environment, mentor team members, plan career development, and support recruitment efforts. They also play a key role in business development by nurturing client relationships, identifying cross-selling opportunities, and pursuing new clients aligned with the Practice Area's strategic initiatives and core values.
