Senior Project Manager - Land Development

The Senior Project Manager is a senior practitioner within Westwood's Land Development team who plays a key role in driving business growth through strategic marketing and work-winning efforts. This position is responsible in supporting the building and expanding of client relationships, identifying new business opportunities, developing marketing pursuit strategies, and crafting compelling proposals to secure new work for residential, commercial, and institutional clients. In parallel, the Senior Project Manager oversees the full lifecycle of civil engineering projects - from preliminary studies through final design and construction administration - ensuring that client relationships cultivated through business development translate into successfully delivered, high-quality projects.

This role takes ownership of client relationship management across multiple concurrent pursuits and assignments, positioning Westwood competitively in the marketplace while also directing project scope, budget, schedule, and quality. The Senior Project Manager directly leads and develops the civil team(s) assigned to deliver projects won through these business development efforts.

With a minimum of 8 years of total experience, including at least 4 years as a project manager, the Senior Project Manager brings proven success in client development, proposal writing, and marketing strategy, alongside mastery of land development civil engineering principles, cost estimating, construction methods, and alternative delivery approaches. This individual serves as a key driver of the firm's growth pipeline, representing Westwood at industry events, cultivating repeat business, and pursuing new client relationships - while also playing an active role in staff development by training, mentoring, and guiding the professional growth of engineers and technicians on the team.
