Description

The Opportunity

RETTEW is seeking an experienced Land Development Project Manager and licensed Professional Engineer to join our Planning & Design practice as a Land Development Engineering Team Lead.

This is an opportunity for an accomplished project leader who is ready to expand their impact beyond individual project delivery. As Team Lead, you will guide and develop Project Managers and technical staff, strengthen project and financial performance, help balance team resources, and support the continued growth of RETTEW's Land Development practice.

You won't leave project work behind. You'll remain connected to complex land development projects and key client relationships while helping other professionals become stronger project managers, technical contributors, and future leaders.

What You'll Do

As Land Development Engineering Team Lead, you will:

Lead, coach, and mentor Project Managers and technical staff, supporting professional development, accountability, and team performance.
Provide leadership and technical oversight for complex land development projects, helping teams achieve quality, schedule, budget, and client expectations.
Serve as a resource to Project Managers for project strategy, technical challenges, client engagement, and delivery decisions.
Coordinate team workload, staffing, and resource allocation while collaborating across RETTEW offices and disciplines.
Monitor team and project financial performance, forecasting, workload, and established operational metrics; work with Project Managers to address performance concerns and opportunities.
Maintain and strengthen client relationships and identify opportunities to expand RETTEW's services.
Partner with RETTEW's Business Development team to support proposals, pursuits, cross-selling, and client-growth initiatives.
Promote multidisciplinary collaboration and effective use of technical resources across the organization.
Reinforce RETTEW's quality standards, policies, and expectations.
Foster a team culture built around ownership, communication, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What We're Looking For

Required

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related engineering field.
Professional Engineer (PE) license with Pennsylvania licensure or eligibility to obtain Pennsylvania licensure through reciprocity.
Demonstrated experience managing land development projects.
Strong technical knowledge of land development engineering and project delivery.
Experience leading, mentoring, supervising, or developing professionals in a project or team environment.
Experience managing project scope, schedule, budget, and competing priorities.
Ability to plan workload and coordinate resources across multiple projects.
Experience building and maintaining strong client relationships.
Ability to communicate effectively with clients, technical professionals, Project Managers, and organizational leadership.
Interest and ability to support business development and client growth in partnership with RETTEW's Business Development team.

Preferred

Experience managing complex or multidisciplinary land development projects.
Demonstrated success expanding existing client relationships or identifying new project opportunities.
Experience with team-level financial tracking, forecasting, workload planning, or operational performance metrics.
Experience developing Project Managers or emerging leaders.

Why This Role

This position offers the opportunity to:

Move into a defined engineering leadership role while remaining connected to meaningful technical and client work.
Develop Project Managers, technical professionals, and future leaders.
Influence team culture, engagement, accountability, and performance.
Gain broader exposure to financial, operational, and resource-management responsibilities.
Partner with Business Development professionals rather than carrying business-development responsibility alone.
Help shape the continued growth and success of RETTEW's Land Development practice.
Collaborate with professionals across offices and disciplines on challenging projects.

Work Environment

Workplace Designation: Hybrid
Location: Lehigh Valley and Berwyn, PA

This role requires regular in-office collaboration with team members and leadership. Regional collaboration across offices is expected to support team alignment, resource sharing, client needs, and successful project delivery.
