AtkinsRéalis seeks a highly motivated self-starter to join our Austin, Texas, Civil Engineering Group as a Senior Project Manager. Our project managers do it all – provide professional and project management expertise in the direction of highly unconventional projects requiring multiple technical units and/or subconsultants, heavy regulatory agency involvement, or extremely complex technical requirements.
