Description

Description Join us to shape communities, collaborate with passionate professionals, and grow with a company that invests in your success, where you’re not just an Employee but an Owner. About Our Firm Since 1968, NTH Consultants, Ltd. has been a critical part of the infrastructure engineering and environmental services that strengthen our communities and protect our ecosystem. From geotechnical engineering and environmental consulting to structural design and construction management, and beyond, we provide solutions that support the success and sustainability of projects. When you join NTH, you’ll gain more than a job- you’ll become part of a team that values your career, your growth, and your life. We are committed to providing a flexible and supportive environment, professional development opportunities, and a vibrant culture that celebrates collaboration and innovation. Our culture is built on accountability, ownership, inclusion, integrity, safety, and excellence. As NTH continues to grow, we are looking to hire a Project Director to help expand our client footprint. With offices in Northville, Detroit, East Lansing, Grand Rapids, and a lab and equipment office in Livonia, we are positioned to expand our services and client portfolio to align with the company’s strategic plan. The Markets We Serve Energy: We are dedicated to helping our energy clients navigate the rapidly evolving energy landscape. From large utilities and independent power producers to municipalities and industrial facilities, our clients trust us to provide innovative, sustainable solutions to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s energy demands. Industry: We bring decades of experience serving industrial clients across all sectors, including chemical, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and waste management. Our reputation is built on strong client advocacy, delivering innovative solutions while ensuring compliance with complex regulatory frameworks. Water: We are dedicated to helping communities sustain and improve their water and wastewater infrastructure. As capital needs for drinking water and wastewater systems continue to exceed available funding, we provide innovative, cost-effective solutions that maximize the value of every investment. Our expertise extends across planning, design, construction, and operations, ensuring infrastructure systems meet today’s demands and are resilient for the future. Transportation: Transportation infrastructure is an essential part of daily life, impacting how we live, work, and play. Roads, bridges, and transportation systems connect us to workplaces, schools, recreation, and essential goods. These networks are among the most visible elements of public infrastructure, and their condition directly affects the quality of life for communities. As public demand grows for safe, efficient, and reliable transportation, maintaining and upgrading these systems has become a top priority for municipalities, agencies, and private stakeholders. Community Development: In today’s world, communities are more than just places to live—they are where we work, play, and connect. However, many neighborhoods across Michigan and the Midwest were not designed to meet the modern needs of their citizens. Aging infrastructure and outdated streetscapes often fail to support how people want to experience their communities. We understand the importance of revitalizing public spaces to enhance community development and improve quality of life. We help our clients and their residents get started by creating dynamic neighborhoods, reinvigorating public spaces, and infusing energy into their communities and downtowns.
