Digitization Project Manager

CivilGrid is the trusted civil design platform powering affordable infrastructure renewal and growth. We give utilities, civil engineers, and municipalities a single, collaborative source of truth for what's underground so teams can plan, design, and build faster, smarter, and safer.

Our platform consolidates utility records, geotechnical and environmental data, paving moratoriums, and jurisdictional requirements directly from 3,000+ utilities, agencies, and municipalities with full chain-of-custody documentation. Teams at PG&E, Mark Thomas, and dozens of leading engineering firms use CivilGrid to cut research time by up to 88%, reduce project costs, prevent dig-ins, and accelerate delivery on the projects that keep communities running.

We're a venture-backed Series A startup tackling a $4.7T US infrastructure market that has been underserved by software for decades. Founded by industry insiders, each with 10+ years in utilities and civil engineering, we move fast, ship work that matters, and stay close to the customers and field teams we build for.

As a Digitization Project Manager, you will bridge the gap between historical utility data and actionable digital insights. By translating complex subsurface utility records into GIS and CAD formats, you will directly empower our customers to build safer and faster. Additionally, you will take on key program and project management responsibilities, stepping up to mentor junior employees to foster a culture of technical and operational excellence.

This is a customer and delivery-focused role. You’ll own a portfolio of customers and projects and make sure CivilGrid’s insights are delivered to them on-time and with high quality. This role reports to the Head of Product Operations. It is a remote position in the US or Canada with a strong preference for candidates in Kansas City, Charlotte, or Denver.

You will be a key player on a specialized team of industry practitioners, bringing deep Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) expertise and operating in our fast-moving startup environment.

Your core role is Project & Delivery Management:

• →

  Provide expert-level markup, interpretation, and guidance of complex utility engineering records, as-builts, and historical plan sets.

• →

  Conduct rigorous QA/QC on digitized deliverables to ensure absolute accuracy before they reach the CivilGrid platform.

• →

  Manage and lead delivery-focused teams (Customer Success, GIS, Utilities Research, etc.) to complete utilities research projects. You own the scheduling, prioritization, and resource allocation for your projects.

• →

  Mentor junior employees by sharing your deep industry and technical knowledge, and coach them through completing complex projects.

• →

  Design and implement QAQC frameworks and data validation pipelines.

We're a small, but rapidly growing team that ships. Expect direct feedback, real ownership from day one, and proximity to customers — huge utilities, public agencies, and engineering firms whose work depends on what we build. We default to in-person collaboration where it matters and remote-friendly flexibility otherwise. We hire people who care deeply about their craft and the communities our customers serve.
