National Service Line Leader – Infrastructure (Water/Wastewater + Civil/Transportation)

What Success Looks Like

You will be successful if you can:

• Evolve our compelling national infrastructure strategy and translate it into an executable plan that drives measurable growth. - Connect and elevate existing infrastructure teams into one coordinated, high-performing national capability. - Support recruiting and retention efforts that attract seller-doers and technical leaders in priority disciplines and geographies. Help advance alternate delivery models (engineering centers, communities of practice, standardized toolkits, AI-enabled workflows) that improve efficiency, quality, margin, and consistency. - Build a scalable model that balances local client intimacy with national expertise deployment via design centers and communities of practice. - Create and scale US-based engineering centers (discipline-based and/or regionally distributed) to increase utilization, speed, quality, and delivery consistency—while improving access to specialized expertise. - Implement standardized delivery frameworks (templates, design standards, checklists, workflows) that improve schedule certainty and reduce rework. ### AI-Enabled & Technology-Forward Infrastructure Delivery

• Champion AI and digital enablement to transform how infrastructure engineering work is delivered—accelerating delivery, strengthening QA/QC, and improving project predictability and margin. - Partner with operations, technology, and delivery leaders to pilot and scale tools such as:

• AI-assisted drafting and design automation

• Intelligent QA/QC workflows

• Proposal automation and pursuit intelligence

• Knowledge management systems and reusable design libraries

• Digital delivery standards for multi-office execution

• Build an innovation pipeline: identify use cases, measure benefits, and create adoption playbooks that spread across regions. ### Delivery Excellence & Performance Management

• Ensure consistent delivery of high-quality, compliant, and cost-effective engineering solutions across water/wastewater, civil, and transportation services. - Track and report on KPI performance including pipeline, bookings, revenue growth, effectiveness of regulatory/funding playbook engine, win rates, speed to contract, client satisfaction, and delivery performance. - Serve as a trusted advisor to key accounts, ensuring delivery excellence and repeat business. Your Responsibilities as a National Service Line Leader:

Modern Delivery Models: Communities of Practice + Engineering Centers

• Design and deploy communities of practice that unify technical standards, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and consistent QA/QC across regions. - Demonstrated success building and executing growth strategies, driving pipeline creation, pursuit excellence, and revenue expansion. - Strong understanding of water/wastewater and/or civil/transportation delivery models (municipal, utility, DOT, and private owner contexts). - Proven ability to operate effectively in a matrixed organization, partnering across P&L business units and commercial teams to align priorities and execute. - Exceptional communication, collaboration, and organizational skills with the presence to lead internally and credibly represent Apex externally. ### Preferred Attributes

• Track record leading large-scale infrastructure programs (planning, design, program management, or design-build support) across multiple geographies. - Experience building engineering centers, shared services, centers of excellence, or communities of practice to scale delivery. - Ability to translate regulatory and funding intelligence into actionable growth playbooks and enablement for multi-region teams

• Comfort with data-driven management—CRM discipline, financial performance tracking, and KPI execution. - Passion for innovation, especially applying AI, automation, and digital workflows to improve engineering delivery outcomes. - Experience evaluating acquisition or team-lift opportunities to accelerate capability and geographic expansion. What we're looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline . - 15+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering/consulting, including 10+ years in leadership roles with national or multi-region responsibility. - Grow strategic client relationships and expand Apex’s relevance in water/wastewater, civil/site engineering, and transportation end markets, both public and private. - Scale repeatable regulatory compliance playbooks into new geographies. - Own the regulatory and funding intelligence engine: maintain a clear view of federal/state mandates relevant to infrastructure growth and how those mandates are funded, then translate that into local pursuit playbooks that increase win rates and accelerate backlog conversion. Why you'll love working for us:

• Company-subsidized medical and dental. - Company-paid life, short, and long-term disability. - 401k match, tuition assistance, and more. - Cross-training and the ability to work on a variety of projects. - Performance-based bonuses or other incentives. - Working with the best and brightest in the industry. - 2,000+ employee national firm with 70+ locations across the US.
