NBIS Program Manager

Are you a driven NBIS leader ready to stand out, lead a growing practice, and find a growth‑oriented career path? Whether you're coming from a large organization or a smaller consulting firm
, you may be seeking something different:

• A place where your expertise shapes the program
• A setting where your decisions matter
• A role offering responsibility, autonomy, and work-life balance
• A future with leadership opportunities and long-term career growth potential
• A real chance to combine hands‑on program leadership with genuine business development impact

If this resonates with you, Wilson offers a career path where your impact, growth, and future truly matter — with real influence over the future direction of Wilson's NBIS practice
, backed by performance‑based incentives for the right candidate.

Founded in 1999, Wilson Consulting Group, PC is a well‑established, Pennsylvania‑based prime consulting firm specializing in transportation engineering. Our size is our strength – a collaborative, high‑visibility environment where your work has direct and meaningful impact. We support state agencies, municipalities, and public‑sector clients across funding strategies and planning, transportation design and delivery, construction phase services, active transportation design, asset management — including bridge inspection — and municipal representation.

We manage and support NBIS and Short Span bridge inspection programs across Pennsylvania, with Owners ranging from state and municipal agencies to the private sector.

We're seeking a knowledgeable, detail‑oriented NBIS Program Manager to be in responsible charge of our existing NBIS bridge inspection agreements throughout Pennsylvania — and, just as importantly, to drive the growth of this sector of our business. This is a dual‑track role: you will manage inspection teams, ensure program compliance, and perform QC/QA reviews, while also soliciting new clients, pursuing new NBIS agreements, and expanding Wilson's inspection footprint among state, county, township, and borough owners statewide — in close coordination with state and local owners and PennDOT Districts.

You will be stepping into an established program, not building one from scratch — our current NBIS portfolio includes state, local, and private‑sector contracts, backed by experienced inspection staff and internal technical and administrative support.

This role offers broad program ownership and technical depth — a chance for a driven leader to stand out at a small firm, put their own stamp on a well‑established and growing practice, and be recognized — and rewarded — for it through performance‑based incentives.
Direct access to firm leadership — and a direct hand in shaping the future of Wilson's NBIS practice.
