Senior Project Manager – Public Works & Roadway Design

Onward Engineering is a civil engineering firm based in Orange County. We work exclusively with public agencies on horizontal infrastructure - streets, parkways, and CIP improvements for California cities. We're a tight team, we take our work seriously, and we've built long relationships with our clients by actually delivering. We're growing and we need a Senior Project Manager who's ready to lead.

$200K+ depending on experience

36-hour work week with Fridays off every week

Hybrid schedule with Thursdays from home

3% 401(k) employer contribution from day one

Full medical, dental, and vision paid for you

The Role: This is a full project ownership position. You'll manage roadway and public works projects from kickoff through construction, run client relationships directly with city engineers and public works directors, and lead a team of engineers and designers. You'll be the person your clients call when something needs to get done.

Day to day that means managing schedules and budgets, overseeing design production in Civil 3D, reviewing submittals and RFI responses, coordinating with agencies, and leading proposal efforts when we're going after new work. You'll also mentor junior staff and contribute to how we grow as a firm.

You are the right fit if:

You're a licensed PE in California with 15+ years of experience in public works

You've managed street, roadway, or parkway projects for a city or public agency

You're proficient in Civil 3D and know Caltrans standards, the Greenbook, and local agency requirements

You're comfortable owning client relationships and being the face of a project

You want a place to build a career, not a stepping stone

Why Onward: We're not a big box firm. You won't be one of fifty project managers competing for visibility. You'll know the owners, the owners will know your work, and the projects you deliver will have your name on them. We've had engineers stay and grow here for over a decade and that's not an accident. We've built a firm where good people want to stay.
