- Lead estimating and bidding efforts, ensuring accurate and competitive proposals.
- Manage subcontractor buyout, contracting, procurement, submittals, shop drawings, and material deliveries.
- Identify, price, negotiate, and manage project change orders.
- Work closely with field leadership to manage labor, production, schedule, safety, and quality.
- Coordinate with clients, engineers, subcontractors, consultants, suppliers, and internal teams.
- Identify project risks early and implement solutions to protect schedule and financial performance.
- Mentor less-experienced Project Managers and help strengthen project execution across the team.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of Project Management experience within infrastructure construction.
- Strong experience with projects involving civil, utilities, earthwork, water/wastewater, structures, or similar heavy infrastructure scopes.
- Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related discipline preferred.

- Strong understanding of project financials, including cost control, forecasting, change management, and labor projections.
- Experience developing and managing detailed CPM schedules.
- Strong estimating and bidding background.
- Experience managing and developing other Project Managers or project staff.
- Familiarity with construction technology such as HeavyBid, Bluebeam, scheduling software, and ERP/project-management systems is preferred.
- Strong client-facing communication and leadership skills.
