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.

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
