Senior Project Manager (DFW

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project.

We’re a people-first company built on five values we call STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership.

Our vision:
Recognize a Need & Fulfill It.

Plenty of fabricators will hand you a project list. Patriot hands you real ownership: multiple parallel projects, vendors and subcontractors, change orders, client relationships — and the modern tools and people-first culture to deliver it all. If you’ve spent a decade in structural steel and you’re ready for a senior seat in DFW, let’s talk.

Dual AISC certification. Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — one accountable team from shop drawings to topped-out steel. Most shops can only claim half of that.

People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship — benefits most fabricators don’t offer.

Modern tools, not spreadsheets. Tekla Structures, Tekla EPM, Trimble Connect, and Fab Suite — we invest in the stack so you run the work instead of chasing paperwork.

Room to rise. Divisions across Texas — Central Texas HQ, DFW, Houston, San Antonio — plus leadership training, Udemy learning, and AISC membership for every Patriot employee.

A name that opens doors. 30+ years of quality, safety, and pride in every project — the kind of reputation that makes clients (and careers) stick.

As Senior Project Manager for our DFW division, you’ll lead multiple high-value structural steel projects in parallel — from project setup and fabrication scheduling through change orders and closeout — while building the client and vendor relationships that earn repeat work and driving process improvements that strengthen the whole company.

• Commercial Management: Negotiate change orders and protect each project’s financial outcome.

• Client Relationships: Establish and maintain customer relationships that turn one project into the next.
• Process Improvement: Lead improvements with few precedents and enterprise-wide impact — you’ll shape how Patriot delivers.
• Resources & Capacity: Identify resource and equipment requirements, drive efficient capacity planning, and manage software and hardware availability.
• Safety Integration: Build safety into every plan, schedule, and decision — Safety leads our STEEL values.
