About This Job

General Description

Help Shape the Future of Water in Central Florida — Join Our Leadership Team

Toho Water Authority is expanding to meet the needs of one of Florida’s fastest-growing regions. As we grow in size, scale, and complexity, we are enhancing our leadership team to guide long-term infrastructure planning, program management and successful capital delivery.

We are seeking experienced, forward-thinking leaders to fill critical roles that support our utility infrastructure capital program—valued at over $1.5 billion—and ensure we continue delivering high-quality service to our customers and community.

Leadership Opportunities

The following director roles are ideal for candidates with deep expertise in a focused functional area, ready to lead major programs and projects with operational excellence.

Director of the Program/Project Management Office (PMO) - Grade 15

Director of Construction Services - Grade 15

As an alternative approach, Toho will consider combining functional responsibilities in a role at a more senior level for candidates with extensive experience and demonstrated ability to lead across multiple strategic infrastructure functions. This position would include responsibility for building, leading and executing an integrated program across the program management, construction, and potentially other related functions.

Sr. Director / Chief of PMO and Construction Services — Grade 16

Toho is forward-thinking in what makes a great candidate. We encourage candidates with a strong skill set in all aspects of utility infrastructure management and a drive to make a difference to apply—even if you’re not a perfect match for every requirement. If you bring expertise, initiative, and a commitment to delivering results, we want to hear from you.

Competitive Salary Ranges (Effective October 1)

Grade 15: $136,800 – $195,441
Grade 16: $157,316 – $224,762

This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic public utility shaped by growth, innovation, regulatory change, and a strong commitment to service excellence.

If you're ready to lead teams, shape systems, and help build the future of water in Central Florida, apply today. Position open until filled; application review to begin on July 28, 2025. Essential Functions Toho is seeking leader(s) to support its growing customer base—currently approximately 175,000—by delivering a $1.5 billion+ five-year capital improvement program (CIP) that advances long-term infrastructure development in one of Florida’s fastest-growing regions.

Qualifications

The position(s) will have visibility and engagement across the executive team and throughout the organization. Depending on qualifications and organizational needs, the role may focus on:

Program/Project Management Office (PMO): Providing enterprise-level leadership of capital planning, program controls, scheduling, governance, and performance management; or

Construction Services: Overseeing the successful field delivery of capital projects, including contractor performance, QA/QC, safety, inspection services, and leadership of Toho’s in-house inspector team responsible for daily construction oversight.

Toho is prepared to hire two distinct positions; however, for highly qualified candidates, the roles may be combined into a broader opportunity at the Sr. Director / Chief level. This combined role would oversee integrated capital execution, cross-functional alignment, and long-range capability building. The selected leader would serve as a key member of Toho’s leadership team, focused on accelerating organizational efficiency and decision-making.

Beyond delivering projects, this individual will help build the foundation for Toho’s future—advancing not just infrastructure, but also the systems, processes, and teams that support long-term service, efficiency, and excellence.

This position requires strong technical knowledge in utility infrastructure, proven leadership across internal teams and consulting partners, and the ability to drive results in a dynamic and evolving environment.

Key Responsibilities

Provide strategic and operational leadership over either or both of the following areas:

+ PMO Functions: Capital planning and controls, scheduling, document management, contract tracking, performance reporting, and cross-departmental coordination. + Construction Functions: Field execution, contractor and consultant coordination, QA/QC, safety oversight, and direct leadership of Toho’s construction inspection services and inspector team.

Lead and develop internal staff while managing external consultant teams and delivery partners.
Ensure project execution aligns with Toho’s organizational priorities and strategic objectives.
Monitor budgets, schedules, and performance metrics; review and approve documentation and invoices; maintain strong accountability systems.
Represent capital programs in interdepartmental and executive-level meetings; prepare briefings, presentations, and Board-facing materials as needed.
Foster a culture of collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement across all aspects of capital delivery.

This is a unique opportunity to lead at a pivotal moment—helping shape the infrastructure, systems, and capabilities that will serve our community for decades to come.

Primary Functions

Lead and manage the successful delivery of Toho’s capital improvement program, coordinating closely with engineering and other departments to ensure projects—whether through planning oversight or construction execution—are completed safely, on time, and within budget.
Oversee or support the construction of critical infrastructure, including water reclamation facilities, water treatment plants, repump and booster stations, wastewater pump stations, and major pipeline systems, depending on role focus.
Direct assigned phases of project execution from planning through completion, ensuring adherence to quality standards, budgets, schedules, and strategic utility objectives. This may include program controls, field oversight, or both.
Develop and implement project delivery frameworks, including construction standards, program budgets, integrated schedules, risk mitigation strategies, and quality assurance/control processes appropriate to PMO and/or field operations.
Coordinate cross-functional collaboration with engineering, planning, procurement, operations, and finance teams to ensure seamless alignment between capital planning, design, procurement, and construction activities.
Support, manage or oversee contractor and consultant procurement, including bid solicitation, contract negotiations, and performance monitoring, ensuring accountability and successful delivery outcomes.
Ensure regulatory compliance across all project phases and maintain strong working relationships with permitting agencies, jurisdictional partners, and external stakeholders.
Prepare and present executive-level reports on program and project progress, financial performance, risk status, and key milestones—supporting leadership decision-making and transparency.
Lead, mentor, and develop high-performing teams of internal staff—whether in program management, construction inspection, or both—while integrating consultant teams and aligning efforts with Toho’s long-term capacity-building goals.
Promote a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement in all project delivery functions, with attention to both office-based program activities and field-based construction work.
Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation within assigned areas to optimize capital delivery, operational efficiency, and long-term financial stewardship.

Minimum Qualifications

Any combination of education and experience that provides the required knowledge, skills, and abilities will be considered. A typical candidate will have:

Bachelor’s degree in construction management, civil or environmental engineering, or a related field.

Minimum of 10 years of directly relevant experience in program management and/or construction of large-scale infrastructure projects. Direct oversight of water or wastewater facilities and pipelines is strongly preferred.
At least 5 years of senior or executive-level leadership experience, managing complex, multi-million-dollar capital projects in a utility, public infrastructure, or similar setting.
Strong knowledge of program management and/or construction practices, including project controls, permitting, materials, and regulatory requirements applicable to utility-scale infrastructure delivery.
Valid State of Florida Class E Driver’s License (or ability to obtain within a reasonable time following employment).


Desirable Qualifications

Master’s degree in construction management, civil or environmental engineering, or a related field.
Professional certifications, such as a Professional Engineer (PE) license or Certified Construction Manager (CCM) credential.
Experience in public utility, municipal infrastructure, or government agency environments, including familiarity with capital budgeting, procurement, and governance processes.
