Project Management Specialist/Analyst

Arcadis • Newark, NJ

4d • $85,000 - $125,000

About The Position

Arcadis is seeking a motivated Project Management Specialist/Analyst to support one of the most iconic and consequential infrastructure initiatives in the United States — the Gateway Hudson Tunnel Project (HTP). Unlike a traditional corporate HR role, this position is dedicated specifically to a major client project and will focus on recruiting efforts by partnering with managers to attract, source, and hire top talent, while also overseeing onboarding and orientation on this once-in-a-generation infrastructure effort.
We are working in partnership with our JV Partners as part of the MPA Delivery Partner team, selected by the Gateway Development Commission to deliver this transformative project. The HTP is a critical component of the broader Gateway Program — one of the most ambitious and impactful transportation initiatives in the nation — and is designed to strengthen mobility, enhance resiliency, and ensure the long-term reliability of the Northeast Corridor.
The project encompasses the construction of a new, two-track rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River, along with the full rehabilitation of the existing 113-year-old North River Tunnel. This vital infrastructure supports more than 200,000 daily passengers via Amtrak and NJ TRANSIT and serves as a backbone for economic activity and connectivity between New York and New Jersey.
This is more than just a job — it’s a rare opportunity to directly influence the success of a nationally significant infrastructure program. As part of this high-performing, multidisciplinary team, you will be responsible for supporting the people and HR needs of the project team — not corporate headquarters — and ensuring excellence in all human resources functions across the delivery partnership.
