Construction Project Manager

Construction Project Manager

Control Systems NW (CSNW), a subsidiary of RH2 Engineering is seeking an experienced Construction Project Manager to lead and manage projects where CSNW serves as both a Prime Contractor and Subcontractor. This role is responsible for full project lifecycle execution — from planning and scheduling through construction, startup, and closeout — ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in alignment with client expectations.

The position is client-facing and emphasizes construction administration, quality assurance, and risk management rather than self-performed construction.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, technically proficient, and preferably possesses some experience in electrical, controls, or systems integration projects, with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders and maintain strong relationships across clients, contractors, subcontractors, and internal teams.

• Lead project execution for CSNW in both Prime Contractor and Subcontractor capacities.
• Develop, maintain, and manage detailed project schedules.
• Prepare for and administer construction meetings, including documentation and follow-up.
• Manage and track RFIs, change orders, and submittals to ensure timely resolution and project continuity.
• Coordinate permitting activities and ensure regulatory compliance.
• Partner with CSNW Admin to oversee prevailing wage compliance tracking and documentation.
• Coordinate testing, commissioning, startup, and training activities.
• Provide on-site construction oversight to ensure quality, safety, and adherence to contract documents.
• Track, coordinate, and inspect equipment procurement and deliveries.
• Review project milestones and progress with clients and customers.
• Manage project budgets and maintain cost control throughout execution.
• Manage project expectations and proactively communicate risks and solutions.
• Optimize and manage CSNW staff utilization across assigned projects.
• Maintain strong coordination with contracting teams when CSNW is serving as a subcontractor.
• Develop and maintain positive working relationships with prime contractors and clients.

• Direct and coordinate subcontractor on-site activities.
• Review and administer subcontractor RFIs, change orders, and submittals.
• Review and approve subcontractor pay applications.
• Monitor and enforce safety compliance on project sites.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with subcontractor partners.
• Ensure subcontractors meet project quality, schedule, and performance requirements.

• Provide regular project performance feedback to CSNW/RH2 Engineering leadership.
• Participate in post-project reviews to identify lessons learned and improve operational performance.
• Support company-wide initiatives focused on improving execution efficiency, quality, and profitability.

• Minimum 10 years of construction project management experience, preferably for municipal infrastructure projects.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field from an accredited four‑year institution — or equivalent industry experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE), Certified Construction Manager (CCM), or equivalent certification preferred.

• Experience with alternative delivery methods (Design‑Build, CM/GC, Progressive Design‑Build, etc.).
• Previous background in electrical systems, industrial controls, automation, or systems integration preferred.
• Demonstrated success in business development and client relationship management.
• Experience working on public works projects and prevailing wage compliance.
• Have valid driver’s license with vehicle and ability to drive between CSNW office and project site locations.
