At Verdantas, we’re redefining environmental consulting and sustainable engineering through our use of cutting-edge modeling and digital technology and our genuine commitment to people. Our work spans high-growth sectors like water resources, resilient land use, energy transformation, and civil infrastructure. Our commitment to excellence, across more than 90 offices, is championed by a team of over 2,000 experts, scientists, engineers, geologists, and technical specialists, embedded in a people-focused culture, prioritizing the well-being of our employees, clients, and the communities we serve.

Ready to shape the future of resilient communities? The Portfolio Manager is a senior technical leader within the Municipal Team responsible for overseeing a portfolio of complex municipal infrastructure projects, developing project managers, and strengthening client relationships. This role focuses on portfolio performance, strategic client advisory, business growth, and technical quality rather than day-to-day project delivery. The Portfolio Manager partners with public agencies and internal teams to drive successful outcomes, grow the municipal practice, and support the development of future leaders.
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Delivery & Discipline Expertise: Apply technical expertise in a review and advisory capacity; validate technical approaches and QA/QC frameworks across the portfolio.

Financial & Commercial Management: Manage area-level financial performance across the portfolio: margin, revenue, write-offs, and contract compliance. Ensure Technical PMs within the portfolio are managing finances effectively and escape systemic issues. Contribute to annual revenue planning, backlog management, and growth targets.
Client & Stakeholder Management: Lead strategic client relationships for key accounts or high-value clients in the portfolio. Support Technical PMs in client escalations and relationship development. Identify opportunities for expanded scope and cross-selling in coordination with BD leaders.
Quality & Risk Management: Establish and enforce QA/QC standards across the portfolio. Identify portfolio-level technical, financial, and client risks and develop mitigation strategies. Drive lessons-learned integration across projects.
Business Development: Lead or co-lead pursuit strategy for major opportunities in the area or discipline. Build strategic client relationships that generate repeat business and expanded scope.
