Project Manager

Blazey Construction Services

Houston, TX

You know how a utility job is won or lost: the takeoff, the subs, the change orders and a schedule that holds. Here you'd run your own projects, with a field team that knows the work and an office that has your back.

We're hiring a Project Manager to run water, sewer, storm drain and civil projects across the Houston area from award through closeout.

Why Blazey Construction Services

You'll own your projects. You'll be the main contact for owners, engineers and inspectors, you'll work every day with superintendents and foremen who know underground work, and you'll have Estimating and Accounting in your corner. We're also hiring a Senior Project Manager and a Junior Project Manager, so you'll have a senior leader to learn from and a junior PM to help carry the load. Our team runs on three values: communication, mutual respect and accountability.
