Project Manager, Heavy Civil​/NCDOT

Location: Cary, NC (Raleigh, Durham and the Triangle)

Industry: Heavy Civil / Highway / Bridge / Utilities

A well established, self perform heavy civil contractor with a growing program in the Carolinas is hiring a Project Manager for NCDOT work in the Cary and Raleigh market.

This is a strong opportunity for a Project Manager who has already run NCDOT roadway, bridge or utility jobs for a contractor and wants to own the whole job, a backlog that's already won, and a direct line to senior leadership.

You'll take projects from preconstruction through closeout: grading, storm drain, water and sewer, erosion control and DOT roadway, much of it self performed. Triangle locals are ideal, and candidates ready to relocate to the Raleigh area are welcome.

• Run NCDOT roadway, bridge and utility projects from preconstruction through closeout.
• Own the budget, schedule, cost reports, forecasting and margin on every job you run.
• Submit accurate cost and income projections and act on variances early.
• Lead superintendents, field engineers and subcontractors to hit production, quality and safety.
• Serve as the main contact for NCDOT, owners, engineers, inspectors and vendors.
• Issue subcontracts and purchase orders and manage subcontractor performance.
• Handle change orders, pay estimates, submittals, claims and contract documentation.
• Run weekly project meetings on schedule and cost, and report performance to leadership.
• Work with estimating on bids and the handoff so the job starts right.
• Keep a strong safety culture on every site.

• 5+ years as a Project Manager on heavy civil, highway, bridge or utility work for a contractor.
• NCDOT project experience is required.
• A track record running projects in their entirety, from preconstruction to closeout.
• Contractor side builders only. Consultant, design or inspection only backgrounds will not fit.
• Strong on cost control, schedules, change orders and managing field teams.
• Vista and HCSS Heavy Job experience preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management preferred, or equivalent field experience.
• OSHA 30 is a plus.
• Triangle candidates preferred. Candidates open to relocating to the Raleigh area are welcome.

• You own the job start to finish instead of handing off pieces.
• A backlog of NCDOT roadway and utility work that's already won.
• A self perform team that takes pride in building it right.
• You report straight to senior leadership. No layers, no red tape.
• Full benefits package.
• Build a long career in one of the fastest growing markets in the country.
• A clear path for someone who wants to lead meaningful infrastructure work.
