Project Manager – Structural Steel Fabrication and Erection

Lead Complex Steel Projects That Shape the West Coast

Your next project could be one people drive past every day.

A well-established structural steel contractor with a strong reputation across the West Coast is looking for an experienced Project Manager to take the lead on complex structural steel fabrication and erection projects.

This is an opportunity for a construction professional who knows steel, understands the full project lifecycle, and enjoys having real ownership of schedule, cost, client relationships, and project results.

You’ll work on significant commercial, infrastructure, aviation, high-rise, and other complex projects while partnering with some of the region’s leading general contractors, developers, engineers, and construction professionals.

Be More Than a Project Administrator
You’ll have a meaningful role in project strategy, constructability, scheduling, cost management, fabrication, erection, and client relationships.

Work Across the Entire Steel Project Lifecycle
Collaborate with estimating, engineering, detailing, fabrication, transportation, and field erection teams to turn complex designs into successful builds.

Grow Your Leadership Impact
Mentor Project Engineers and junior team members while helping strengthen project execution and develop the next generation of steel construction professionals.

Join a Stable, Established Organization
Be part of a respected company with a strong project pipeline, experienced leadership, and the resources to support complex work.

Competitive Compensation & Long-Term Growth
A competitive compensation package and the opportunity to build a long-term career within an established structural steel organization.
