The Opportunity

This Is Not a "Manage the Schedule" Role, this is a lead the leaders role.

Alpha Inc. is searching for a true A-Player Senior Project Manager — someone who can run complex civil projects and elevate the people running them.

If you're the kind of leader who:

• Owns outcomes, not excuses
• Coaches Project Managers instead of rescuing them
• Thrives in accountability, clarity, and high expectations
• Leads with heart and spine
