Senior Construction Project Manager

Project Manager / Project Executive, Multi-Craft Industrial Operations

Dallas, TX (On-Site and Field-Embedded) | Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

$120,000 to $200,000+ Base Salary, plus project completion bonuses

(calibrated to seniority: PM, Senior PM, or Project Executive)

Workspire is partnering with an established, institutionally backed industrial services platform that self-performs the full lifecycle of heavy industrial work across electrical, mechanical, structural, soft craft, underground utilities, fabrication, and inspection. The organization is in an aggressive scale-up phase across the South and Southwest, with the Dallas Metroplex positioned as one of its most strategically significant regional builds.

This is not a backfill. It is a foundational hire on a leadership team that is being deliberately constructed ahead of the work, not after it. The regional president is running an intentional, team-first scaling strategy: assemble the operators, then unleash them on the pipeline. You will be reporting to the Dallas Area Manager and stepping into a peer leadership group that is actively shaping how project execution gets standardized across the region.

The PMO and Field Operations are structured as co-equal counterparts, not parent and child, and the right candidate treats superintendents, general foremen, and foremen as partners rather than reports. If you have spent your career waiting for an organization that will hand you real ownership, real autonomy, and a blank-canvas mandate to build, this is that role. If you actually read this far, email me directly at joseph at workspire dot co and use the subject line I see you;

that is how we know you read past the headline.

The vertical aperture here is intentionally wide. The organization is actively diversifying its Dallas portfolio into mechanical and soft craft scopes where the bench is currently thinnest, while preserving its electrical and energy infrastructure core. Top-tier operators from mission critical, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, power generation, oil and gas, chemical, water, mining and metals, pharmaceutical, renewables, aviation, or federal industrial environments are equally welcome, provided the execution profile is real.

• Stand Up the Project Execution Playbook for Your Vertical
• Within your first six to twelve months, establish the standard operating procedures, controls cadence, and reporting rhythm for your specific craft vertical (Critical Electrical, Mechanical and Structural, Soft Crafts, Underground and Utilities, Inspection, or Fabrication). The framework does not yet exist at the regional level. That is the opportunity.
• Take Hands-On Ownership of Project Execution, Not Oversight
• Personally own RFIs, submittals, change orders, project scheduling, and craft-specific takeoffs. This is a direct-ownership role, not a delegate-and-review role. Candidates who have only supervised these activities through subordinates will not match the field-embedded model the organization is building.
• Execute Complex Industrial Projects with Margin Discipline
• Maintain strict cost-to-complete governance, tracking earned versus burned labor, and feeding accurate forecasting data upward. Drive change order capture, RFI cycle time reduction, and schedule adherence against baseline. Project P&L performance is the scoreboard.
• Walk the Jobsites
• Conduct regular site walks across active Dallas-Fort Worth projects, partnering directly with superintendents, general foremen, and field crews on constructability and execution. The role expects 6x10 field schedules through heavy project execution phases. Office time is the exception, not the default.
• Build the Bench Behind You
• Mentor project engineers and junior PMs as the Dallas bench expands. Contribute to the talent flywheel by identifying and referring superintendents, foremen, and PM-track operators from your prior networks. The region is being scaled deliberately, and the team you help bring in will be the team you execute with.
• Convert Scopes Into Embedded Service Relationships
• Leverage execution wins to convert initial project scopes into longer-term,…
