Director of Project Management

About Us

Crux Subsurface, a subsidiary of Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR), is a geotechnical drilling company merging innovation with experience to consistently provide accurate data and efficient, constructible solutions to projects of any size.

The Director of Project Management is a senior leadership role responsible for the performance, development, and consistency of Crux Subsurface's project management function. Reporting to VP Projects, this position owns the PM team as an organizational capability — not just a collection of individual project assignments. The Director ensures that every Project Manager on the Crux roster has the tools, training, accountability structures, and leadership support to deliver cost, schedule, and client commitments at the standard Crux's reputation demands.

Crux executes complex geotechnical construction work — drilled shafts, micropiles, ground anchors, soil nailing, and specialty foundation systems — across North America. Projects are technically demanding, geographically dispersed, and often contracted on terms that require precise change order management and client interface discipline. Weak project management is a direct path to margin erosion and client relationship damage. Strong project management is a competitive advantage.

The Director of Project Management is accountable for building and running the PM function as a high-performance system, not a loose collection of independent operators.
