Highway Project Manager - Glastonbury, CT

Location: Glastonbury, CT

Permanent

Salary: USD 125,000 - USD 155,000

Industry: Civil

Job ID: PR/46

A nationally respected, 1,000 person transportation engineering firm is growing its Connecticut team and seeking a Highway Project Manager to lead impactful roadway and infrastructure projects. This firm operates across the Midwest, East Coast, and Texas, offering the capabilities of a major transportation consultant while maintaining a personal, supportive culture without heavy corporate layers.

About the Firm

This firm is widely recognized for its expertise in complex, urban transportation environments-including transit, rail, toll roads, intermodal facilities, and constrained corridors. It has strong capabilities in design build, progressive DB, and CMGC, and is well trusted by public sector clients for technical excellence and reliability.

It is employee owned, with an ESOP that provides meaningful long term value. Engineers describe the culture as collaborative, low politics, and growth oriented. Leadership is accessible, decision making is streamlined, and staff have opportunities to work on high profile projects without feeling like just a number.

About the Role

This Highway Project Manager position is a strategic growth role within the CT Transportation Group. The PM will manage small to mid sized roadway projects and lead major components of larger initiatives. Responsibilities include client management, mentoring junior staff, and ensuring successful project delivery.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to projects with real community and economic impact, such as roadway extensions, safety improvements, and corridor revitalization efforts.

What You'll Do

• Manage and deliver roadway and highway design projects
• Serve as the primary point of contact for municipal and state transportation clients
• Lead project planning, budgeting, and scheduling
• Guide and mentor junior engineers and technical staff
• Coordinate with internal design teams and subconsultants
• Support business development and proposal efforts

What They're Looking For

• BS in Civil Engineering
• 8 12 years of transportation or roadway design experience
• PE license in Connecticut (or ability to obtain quickly)
• Experience with state DOT and/or municipal transportation projects
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, proactive mindset
• Desire to grow into higher visibility and leadership roles

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Work at a stable, well run, employee owned firm
• Clear advancement paths and true visibility with leadership
• Access to major transportation projects without excessive bureaucracy
• Supportive culture with real work life balance
• Ability to shape the growth of the Connecticut transportation practice
