Program Management Associate - Planner GIS Specialist

Wilmot Inc. | Sustainability Consulting

Nashville, TN

Program Management Associate - Planner/GIS Specialist

Wilmot Inc. is a small, growing consulting firm based in Nashville, focused on civil infrastructure, sustainability, and program management work for public and private clients across the Southeast. We are women owned and partner with national firms on major civic programs. Our team is small enough that you'll work directly with leadership and large enough to take on serious work.

We are seeking a motivated and dynamic Program Management Associate - Planner/GIS Specialist to join our growing team in Nashville, TN. In this position, you will support HDR's East Bank Program, a large and complex multidisciplinary development and infrastructure program, with planning, GIS, schedule tracking, technical writing, QA review, and program coordination. This is a full-time role with an immediate start preferred.

East Bank is one of the largest civic infrastructure programs in the Southeast, and this role puts you at the center of it. You will work side by side with HDR's senior program team while reporting to Wilmot leadership, getting the technical depth of a national firm and the career trajectory of a small one.

Your GIS and planning work will inform decisions made by city departments, the Mayor's office, NDOT, TDOT, and federal agencies. Wilmot will support your AICP credentialing, help support continuing education, and structure your role to grow into broader program management responsibility rather than stay boxed into a technical lane.

If you want meaningful work on civic infrastructure and a real path into project and program management, this role is built for you.
