Project Manager – Heavy Civil / Highway Mass Grading

Colorado | Employee-Owned Contractor | $130K–$160K + Bonus + ESOP

Ready to Lead in Dirt?

We’re hiring a Project Manager for mass grading and heavy highway projects in Colorado. If you’ve spent real time in the field — not just behind a desk — and know how to run complex earthwork operations,
this is your shot to step into full ownership and leadership.

Important: To be considered, you must have direct experience in heavy civil and/or highway construction — specifically in grading, earthwork, utilities, or similar scopes. No commercial or vertical construction backgrounds will be considered.

Why Join Us?

• Real Responsibility: Run critical scopes on $5M–$20M excavation-heavy jobs — roads, pads, drainage, you name it.
• Growth Track: Learn shoulder-to-shoulder with senior PMs and superintendents who’ve done this at scale.
• Zero Nonsense: No bloated org chart. Just a sharp, focused, field-first team that values grit and ownership.
• Safety-Driven: Zero recordables in 2024. We don’t just build — we build it right.

What You’ll Do:

You’ll support full-cycle project delivery — helping manage crews, budgets, schedules, and client communication while learning to run the job like it's yours.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in project scheduling, logistics, and subcontractor coordination
• Monitor job costs, production rates, and material quantities
• Keep quality, safety, and spec compliance on point
• Support field operations and lead communication between office, field, and owner teams
• Own pieces of the job while preparing to lead the full build

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years in heavy civil or heavy highway construction
• (Mass grading, earthwork, drainage, utilities, etc.)
• Proven experience supporting field crews, tracking quantities, or running scopes
• Strong organizational and leadership skills
• Hunger to grow into full PM authority
• Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or related field is a plus

What You’ll Get:

• $110K–$130K Base Salary (DOE) + Annual Bonus
• Company Truck or Allowance
  + Fuel Card
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)– Real equity in the company
• Full Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Match
• Paid Vacation, Sick Time & Holidays

Own Your Career. Build the Roads. Build Wealth.

If you're a heavy civil pro ready to take the next step — not just in title but in ownership and trajectory — we want to hear from you.
