Job Snapshot

Job Description

Compensation: Up to $200,000 + Performance Bonus + Full Benefits
The Opportunity
We are looking for a heavy-hitting Senior Project Manager to lead high-stakes, large-scale projects in the heavy civil and industrial sectors. This isn't a "paper-pushing" role; it’s a seat for a PM who knows how to move dirt, pour massive concrete structures, and manage a heavy equipment fleet to deliver complex commercial and industrial infrastructure.
You’ll be joining a respected, stable contractor known for taking on the "tough" jobs that others shy away from.
The Culture: Why This Firm?

  • Project Diversity: From heavy civil and specialized concrete to industrial facility upgrades and commercial infrastructure—your portfolio will never be stagnant.
  • Autonomy: We hire experts and get out of their way. You will have full P&L responsibility and the authority to run your projects your way.
  • The Team: A collaborative, "get-it-done" culture. We have the iron and the expertise; we just need the leadership to coordinate the finish line.

What You’ll Do

  • Full Lifecycle Leadership: Lead projects from pre-con and estimating through to closeout, ensuring safety, quality, and profitability.
  • Heavy Assets: Manage self-performed work involving heavy equipment, complex concrete pours, and industrial system integrations.
  • Strategic Oversight: Coordinate with owners, engineers, and subcontractors to navigate the technical challenges of heavy civil construction.
  • Financial Mastery: Own the budget. You’ll be responsible for cost-tracking, forecasting, and maximizing ROI on every site.

What You Bring

  • Experience: 10+ years of Project Management experience in Heavy Civil, Concrete, or Industrial construction.
  • Technical Depth: Deep knowledge of earthwork, equipment utilization, and structural concrete.
  • Track Record: Proven ability to manage multi-million dollar projects ($10M–$50M+ range) with high complexity.
  • Education: Degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent field experience.

Why Apply?
If you are a Senior PM currently capped out at your firm or tired of the "corporate" bureaucracy, this is your opportunity to lead a premier division, earn up to $200k, and work for a contractor that actually respects the trade.
