Hunter Environmental is seeking a hands-on Project Manager to lead high-impact civil infrastructure projects that keep major transportation systems operating safely and efficiently.

This is not a generic construction PM role. You will manage fast-moving, operations-critical projects for public-sector and transportation infrastructure clients, including MBTA-related work. Projects may range from short-duration assignments to intensive shutdown / diversion work where crews operate around the clock and decisions need to be made quickly.

The right candidate will bring strong civil construction judgment, field awareness, project ownership, and the ability to anticipate problems before they disrupt crews, schedules, materials, subcontractors, or budgets.

• Manage civil / heavy construction projects from planning through closeout.
• Support MBTA and public infrastructure projects, including station work, stair replacements, tunnel-related work, utility coordination, site work, and other transportation infrastructure improvements.
• Coordinate field crews, subcontractors, materials, equipment, schedules, inspections, and documentation.
• Maintain visibility across both field execution and office-based project tracking.
• Visit active job sites regularly to monitor progress, identify risks, and remove blockers before they impact the project.
• Manage high-pressure shutdown / diversion projects where work may occur in shifts and problems must be solved immediately.
• Track budgets, schedules, field reports, change orders, and project documentation.
• Communicate clearly with internal teams, field leaders, subcontractors, inspectors, and public-sector stakeholders.
• Use project management systems such as HCSS or similar construction software to support job tracking and execution.
• During winter storm season, support snow operations at a management level by reviewing field reports, checking paperwork accuracy, following up on documentation issues, and helping ensure operational compliance.
• Help improve internal processes, SOPs, and project workflows while adapting to Hunter Environmental’s way of operating.

• Proven professional experience managing projects in civil construction, heavy construction, public infrastructure, transportation infrastructure, excavation, site work, or related construction environments.
• Strong understanding of how active civil construction sites operate.
• Ability to work effectively between the office and the field.
• Experience coordinating crews, subcontractors, materials, inspections, schedules, and project documentation.
• Strong budget tracking, scheduling, and contract compliance skills.
• Ability to anticipate field, logistics, material, or subcontractor issues before they impact production.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-accountability environments.
• Strong communication skills with field teams, leadership, inspectors, and external stakeholders.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to job sites across the Greater Boston / MBTA service area.

• Experience with MBTA projects, transportation infrastructure, public works, or government-funded construction.
• Familiarity with the MBTA change order process.
• Experience using HCSS or comparable civil construction / project management software.
• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field.
