AVP, Dams Engineering Practice Leader
AECOM
Curated from public sources by AECjobs.co.
About the role
AECOM's West Region Water Business Line is looking for a senior practice leader to anchor its dams and hydropower work across Colorado, the Mountain region, and the Four Corners area. You'll split your time between technical leadership on major dam and reservoir projects and the client-facing, business development work that keeps the pipeline healthy. It's a role for someone who wants both a seat at the table on complex infrastructure and real influence over how a practice grows.
What we're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in engineering plus 10+ years of relevant experience; an MS or PhD in Civil, Structural, or Geotechnical Engineering is preferred
- 15+ years of dams and hydropower technical and leadership experience
- 5+ years leading projects, client accounts, or business development initiatives
- Deep familiarity with dams and hydropower markets, clients, and trends in the western US
- Active participation in USSD, ASDSO, or similar industry organizations — a recognized name in the field
- Proven ability to lead multi-disciplinary teams and coordinate across geographies and business lines
- Note: visa sponsorship is not available for this position
