We invite applications for the position of: Project Manager (Consultant)
HF&H has a mission-driven, collaborative, small-company culture that values work-life balance. We provide recycling, organics, solid waste, water, wastewater, and stormwater consulting services exclusively to public agencies. It is an exciting time to work in this industry. As California continues to lead the nation in environmental protection, it is our job to ensure local jurisdictions have the analytical and management support they need to fulfill their community’s vision of a sustainable future. We also strive to protect ratepayers (e.g., you and me) from unfounded increases in municipal utility rates.

At any given time, this position will be involved with between five to ten active projects, frequently reporting to clients and Partners.
Project Managers report directly to HF&H’s Partners, and have client-facing responsibilities. Over time, this position offers significant advancement opportunity for a high-performing professional with increasingly independent assignments and responsibilities.
