Senior Project Manager - Construction Design Build

For more than 100 years, Maguire has been a trusted leader in the construction and maintenance of water storage tanks throughout the United States. Today, we are building upon that legacy by expanding our Design-Build, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), and negotiated project delivery capabilities.

As a Senior Project Manager
- Design-Build, you will play a critical leadership role in developing and delivering complex water infrastructure projects from concept through completion. This position is responsible for guiding projects during preconstruction, procurement, execution, and closeout while helping customers, engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams create successful project outcomes.
