anyone off.
Our culture is family-oriented, collaborative, and built on long-term

experienced team, build relationships with people who have been here for

the next generation of Utica leadership.
Job Description:
As a Senior Project Manager (SPM), you will oversee projects from
preconstruction through closeout—managing estimating, subcontractor

Assistant Project Managers and Project Engineers, build strong
relationships with field staff, and play a key role in client
communication and satisfaction. This role is ideal for a leader who
thrives in a family-oriented culture, values integrity, and is motivated
by long-term growth opportunities—including advancing into executive
leadership within Utica.

- Lead and manage all phases of multiple construction projects, from
estimating to final delivery.

scope, budget, and quality alignment.
- Manage project financials, including budgets, cost tracking,
forecasting, and reporting.
- Utilize Procore for project management, documentation, and
communication.
- Ensure contract compliance and risk management.
- Partner closely with Superintendents and field staff to ensure
timely, safe, and high-quality project delivery.
- Build strong client relationships, acting as the main point of
contact throughout the project.
- Provide leadership and mentorship to Assistant Project Managers and
other junior staff.
- Collaborate with ownership to identify process improvements and
contribute to long-term company strategy.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of progressive construction project management experience
(general contracting preferred).
- Strong knowledge of estimating, subcontractor management, and
cradle-to-grave project delivery.
- Proficiency in Procore and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Proven leadership and mentoring ability.
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
- Commitment to fairness, honesty, and integrity in all business
dealings.
Education:
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or
related field (preferred) OR equivalent construction experience is
preferred.

belief with industry-leading support and benefits:
- Car allowance for work-related travel.
- PTO based on service time — rewarding long-term commitment.
- 100% company-paid health and dental coverage for employees.
- 401(k) plan with company contribution.
- Incentive and bonus programs tied to performance.
