Project Manager
A well-established and highly regarded subcontractor in the heavy civil construction industry is currently seeking an experienced Project Manager to join its growing team. Known for delivering large-scale site development, utility, and environmental remediation projects, the company prides itself on performance, integrity, and a commitment to quality.
Position Summary
The Project Manager will be responsible for overseeing multiple active site and utility projects from pre-construction through completion. This role is best suited for a candidate with at least 5 years of experience managing jobs as a subcontractor, particularly in straight site work such as excavation, grading, and underground utilities. Experience as a General Contractor PM does not align with the nature of this role.
This is not a field management position - the company's Foremen and Superintendents oversee on-site activities - but the Project Manager will be deeply involved in day-to-day project operations, both in the office and during job site visits. The ideal candidate is organized, solutions-oriented, and able to manage the details without losing sight of the bigger picture.
