Senior Construction Project Manager

Compensation: $ – $ per year.

AMS Industrial is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to lead complex industrial construction projects across the United States. This role is ideal for a proven construction project leader who has personally managed multiple industrial or heavy civil projects in the $1M–$20M range and consistently delivered profitable, on‑time results. You will oversee projects from preconstruction through closeout, working closely with field teams, owners, and subcontractors while helping position AMS for long‑term strategic growth.

This is a high‑visibility role within a well‑capitalized, strongly bonded company that is intentionally building its next generation of leadership.

AMS Industrial is a prime contractor specializing in industrial construction with heavy mechanical and civil scopes, including dams, waterways, and critical infrastructure projects. Our core work includes dam gates, bulkheads/stoplogs, piping, valves, powerhouse mechanical systems, and related heavy civil installations—often under federal contracts with agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation.

AMS is positioned for significant growth under new leadership, including Chairman Scott Lynn, an industry‑recognized executive who has successfully scaled multiple construction companies from tens of millions to hundreds of millions in annual revenue. With strong financial backing, a competitive bonding advantage, and a focus on high‑margin, low‑competition remote projects, AMS offers a rare opportunity to help shape a growing contractor’s future.

Our culture is grounded in teamwork, accountability, and a shared commitment to “Winning Together.”
