Senior Project Manager

We are partnering with an established excavation and concrete contractor seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager who can take ownership of estimating and project execution while growing into broader operational responsibility over time.

This is not a traditional Project Manager role focused solely on managing individual projects after they are awarded. Estimating and bidding will be a meaningful part of the position from the start. The right person will understand how work is actually performed in the field and be comfortable evaluating plans, developing estimates, planning labor, equipment and materials, and helping carry projects from bid through completion.

The role works directly with ownership and offers significant long-term runway. As this individual learns the business and earns trust, there will be an opportunity to assume increasing responsibility for scheduling, field operations, resource planning, customer relationships and the overall day-to-day operation of the company.

For a construction professional who has successfully managed and estimated projects but wants broader responsibility, this is an opportunity to take a meaningful next step without having to join a large corporate environment.

You’ll have exposure to:

• Estimating, bidding and project planning
• Managing projects from preconstruction through completion
• Crew, equipment, material and resource planning
• Scheduling and coordination across multiple active projects
• Customer, contractor and stakeholder communication
• Field problem solving and operational decision making
• Working directly with ownership and taking on greater responsibility over time

This is a hands‑on construction environment where plans can change quickly and practical field knowledge matters. The person in this role needs to understand how decisions around labor, equipment, materials, production and scheduling affect both project execution and profitability.

• Develop and review project estimates, bids and scopes of work
• Evaluate labor, equipment, material and production requirements when estimating and planning work
• Manage construction projects from preconstruction through completion
• Coordinate crews, equipment, materials, subcontractors and project schedules
• Work closely with field personnel to keep projects moving and resolve issues as conditions change
• Monitor project costs, schedules, progress and overall performance
• Manage change orders and communicate with customers, contractors, suppliers and other project stakeholders
• Help coordinate labor, equipment and other resources across multiple active projects
• Work directly with ownership on project and operational decisions
• Assume increasing responsibility for broader day‑to‑day operations as knowledge of the business grows

• Project management and/or estimating experience within excavation, concrete, site development, heavy civil, underground utility, grading or a related self-performing construction environment
• Hands‑on estimating or bidding experience with an understanding of how labor, equipment, materials and production affect project cost
• Strong practical understanding of construction and how work is executed in the field
• Experience managing project schedules, costs, resources and field execution
• Ability to make sound decisions when field conditions, schedules or priorities change
• Ability to communicate effectively with field personnel, customers, contractors and company leadership
• Experience balancing multiple active projects and competing priorities
• Municipal, infrastructure, transportation, commercial or DOT construction experience is a plus
• Union construction experience is a plus
