Project Manager Academy Supports Civil Engineering Career Growth
At HR Green, we believe that the path to becoming a successful civil engineering project manager isn’t built overnight—it’s shaped through mentorship, training, and steady career development. That’s why we created the Project Manager Academy, a professional development program designed to prepare emerging leaders with the tools they need to manage projects effectively and confidently.
Building a Confident Civil Engineering Project Manager
Our Project Manager Academy focuses on one of the most challenging aspects engineers face when becoming a project manager: moving from a design focus to collaborating with clients and teams to achieve successful project delivery. Whether it’s shifting client priorities or unexpected scheduling conflicts, even the best-laid project plans can veer off course. This course helps participants:
- Identify and proactively address common causes of project delivery challenges
- Communicate scope, schedule, and budget clearly and constructively
- Collaborate with clients and internal teams to address change and avoid project delays or missteps
Designed for those new to project management or seeking a refresher, this course is a key part of HR Green’s investment in strengthening the civil engineering project manager career path.
“The PM Academy is designed to help our Project Managers really understand the HR Green PM processes—from initial setup to project closeout. It’s all about tracking progress, managing resources, and ultimately delivering high-quality designs to our clients.” – Scott Wilson
The Project Management Academy includes:
- PM Fundamentals (2-day Workshop)
- Project Setup (Webinar)
- Managing Project Financials (Webinar)
- QA/QC (Webinar)
- Closeout (Webinar)
- Project Leadership (2-day Workshop)
Mentorship in Civil Engineering: A Cornerstone of Our Culture
Mentorship in civil engineering is more than a company value at HR Green—it’s a core part of how we work. Across our offices, experienced professionals support developing engineers by sharing guidance, offering feedback, and helping them navigate real-world challenges. From day one, employees are encouraged to take an active role in their civil engineering career development through ongoing support and collaboration.
“The PM Academy didn’t exist when I was starting out, but I had great mentors who guided me through real projects, gave me opportunities, and let me learn by doing. That kind of support is invaluable.” – Teresa Stadelmann
This commitment to mentorship helps our people grow confidently into leadership roles. It also fosters stronger project communication, decision-making, and team engagement—traits every successful project manager needs.
Engineering Leadership Training for Real-World Growth
The Project Manager Academy reflects our broader dedication to engineering leadership training. HR Green offers a range of learning opportunities that allow professionals to gain hands-on experience, work across teams, and develop the skills needed to lead effectively.
“What’s really great is seeing those lightbulb moments—when they realize everything that goes on behind the scenes, like scoping, contract negotiations, or client meetings.” – Teresa Stadelmann
With projects spanning water resources, transportation, land development, environmental services, and more, team members can shape their own civil engineering project manager career path, whether that means exploring different disciplines or diving deeper into a specialty.
“You’re connecting with peers across the company—from different geographies and specialties. Later on, when you’re scoping a big project and need support, you’ll remember who to call.” – Teresa Stadelmann
