Lead Drinking Water Conveyance Innovation Across the United States

This is not a traditional leadership role. It is an opportunity to define how drinking water conveyance systems are planned, designed, and delivered across the United States.

We’re looking for a Drinking Water Conveyance Practice Leader to lead this practice across all U.S. locations, driving strategy, technical excellence, and growth across critical water infrastructure systems. Practice leaders at AE2S focus on the Technologies, Trends, and Training for their respective practices.

If you’re a leader in water conveyance, distribution systems, or civil engineering infrastructure, this role offers the opportunity to influence projects, teams, and the future of how water is delivered.

You’ll lead the strategy, technical direction, and growth of AE2S’ Drinking Water Conveyance Practice nationwide.

Represent AE2S as a recognized voice in the industry through client advisory roles, conferences, and professional engagements
Support major pursuits and provide technical leadership in business development
Mentor and develop engineers and technical staff across offices

Why This Role Is Different

This isn’t a regional role. It's a firmwide leadership position with the ability to:

Influence how drinking water conveyance systems are designed and delivered nationwide
Build and scale a connected, high‑performing technical practice across multiple states
Drive both technical innovation and business growth
Shape service offerings based on evolving infrastructure needs and market trends
Play a visible role in shaping AE2S’ national technical brand in drinking water conveyance
