We are looking for a Project Manager to manage complex heavy civil construction project throughout the upper mid-west region. We work on hydroelectric dams, tunnels, and underground and geotechnical projects that most contractors won't take on, and our project managers own the whole job: the schedule, the budget, and the owner relationship. There are no layers between you and the decision. If you have been running work inside a larger contractor and want a job where the project is actually yours, this is that job.
What You'll Do
- Lead project teams with safety, quality, and productivity as non-negotiables
- Train your project engineers to run work of their own
- Run change orders and risk, and keep the owner relationship solid
- Direct field engineering, surveying, and quality control
- Manage subcontractors, procurement, and resource allocation
- Own CPM schedules, budgets, cost accounting, and forecasting
Travel
Our projects are long-term assignments across the Midwest, often away from home. Project related travel is typically 25-50%. We offer competitive traveler benefits for projects away from the office.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management
- Minimum 5 years experience heavy civil construction project management on U.S. based projects
- Proven CPM scheduling, estimating, and subcontractor management
- Willingness to travel to long-term project sites across the Midwest
- Authorized to work in the U.S. now and in the future without employer sponsorship
A plus, not a requirement: dam, hydro, tunnel, or geotechnical project exposure; EIT certification; survey or layout experience; an internship with a heavy civil or underground contractor.
Pay And Benefits
- $105,000 - $160,000 per year, based on experience and project scope
- Competitive traveler benefits on project assignments
- Medical, dental, vision insurance and wellness program
- Short-term disability, long-term disability and life insurance
- Simple IRA retirement plan with company match of 3%
- 15 days of PTO plus 6 paid holidays
