Junior Project Manager

Blazey Construction Services

Houston, TX

Every road, neighborhood and plant in the Houston area starts underground, with water, sewer and storm lines that have to be built right the first time. If you have a few years in construction and want to learn how those projects are really run, this is a good place to start.

We're hiring a Junior Project Manager to work beside our Project Managers and Superintendents on utility, civil and roadway projects, from award through closeout.

Why Blazey Construction Services

You'll learn by doing. You'll work on live projects, sit in on owner meetings, walk job sites with our superintendents and see how budgets, schedules and change orders come together. We're hiring a Project Manager and a Senior Project Manager at the same time, so the next steps up are right in front of you and the people who have done this work for years are part of your day. Our team runs on three values: communication, mutual respect and accountability.
