What We Are Looking For We are seeking a senior-level Project Manager who operates as a strategic business leader with full accountability for end-to-end delivery of large-scale horizontal construction and disaster recovery projects. This role goes beyond execution, requiring ownership from project initiation and mobilization through financial closeout, ensuring successful outcomes across operations, financial performance, client satisfaction, and risk management.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in construction (e.g., site work, infrastructure, debris management, environmental and civil projects) and a proven ability to manage complex, multi-site programs concurrently. This individual will lead Superintendents and cross-functional teams while maintaining direct accountability for project P&L, forecasting accuracy, and margin performance.

This is a high-impact leadership role requiring the ability to operate at both the executive and field levels—translating contract requirements into actionable plans, influencing stakeholders, and driving results in dynamic, high-pressure environments.

What You Will Do
* Lead full lifecycle project delivery from pre-construction planning and mobilization through execution and closeout
* Oversee large-scale construction and disaster recovery projects, ensuring alignment across scope, schedule, and cost
* Maintain full P&L ownership, including budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and margin optimization
* Develop and execute detailed project execution strategies, schedules, and resource plans
* Lead, mentor, and hold accountable Superintendents and field leadership teams across multiple concurrent projects
* Serve as the primary client interface, including government agencies, ensuring performance, reporting, and relationship…
