Job Description:

Do you want to be a part of a company that has transformed over 100,000 miles of roadway around the world? From local projects to some of the nation’s largest design-build projects, Parsons has done it all!!  

Our Pennsylvania Civil infrastructure team is on an accelerated growth track in 2026, and we are looking to bring strong engineers into the group. We are respected by our clients as an organization with strong technical skills, and solid project delivery and performance. In today’s rapidly evolving alternative project delivery and design-build markets, Parsons offers extraordinary career opportunities based on our existing projects and backlog, financial strength, bonding capacity; and inclusive design, construction engineering, and construction services — all under one roof.

We are looking for a great leader to join our team in the role of Highway Project Manager; one that inspires loyalty and commitment and understands how to design and deliver leading edge Road and Highway projects. If you are the right one for us, you know how to develop comprehensive solutions for todays’ roadway challenges, enjoy both selling and managing projects, and like being in front of the client. Perhaps you are looking for that next step in your career – to take on new challenges and lead and expand a business. This role offers the chance to do just that - to influence the growth and direction of the team, and have high leadership visibility along the way.

In this role, you will oversee and manage the overall engineering and design on both conventional and design-build projects for roads and highway. You will be responsible for overseeing the civil design team’s technical deliverables and meeting project schedules from design through construction. Using your technical expertise, you will ensure the highest quality of engineering is put forth to meet all design criteria requirements. Our Project Managers are also heavily involved in identifying new business and participate in the proposal process, and then stay technically hands on throughout the life of the project. We expect you to identify new opportunities with your current contacts in the region and help grow the business.

When we compete as a group against the competition, we thrive on that burst of creative energy that propels us past obstacles. We’re looking for dynamic managers who want to lead a first-place team. In our diverse workplace, everyone has an equal shot and is accepted and respected for who they are and what they do to help put us in the lead. If that competitive spirit invigorates your management style, we want to hear from you.
