At HR Green, our mission is simple: Building Communities. Improving Lives.
For more than 110 years, we've partnered with municipalities, utilities, and public agencies to deliver infrastructure solutions that strengthen communities and improve quality of life.

This is an opportunity to stay close to design while taking ownership of project delivery, building lasting municipal client relationships, and coaching the engineers and designers around you. If you enjoy turning community priorities into built improvements—and want a role in growing the practice—we'd love to talk with you.
