Project Manager; Houston

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project.

We’re a people-first company built on five values we call STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership. Our vision:
Recognize a Need & Fulfill It.

Own the project. Earn the trust. Build it right.

From budget to closeout, you’ll run structural steel projects that put Patriot’s name on the line — with the team, the tools, and the autonomy to deliver.

Real ownership. Budget to closeout, the project is yours — with a team that has your back.

Dual AISC certification. Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — one accountable team from shop drawings to topped-out steel.

People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.

Modern tools, not spreadsheets. Tekla Structures, Tekla EPM, Trimble Connect, Fab Suite — we invest in the stack.

A name that opens doors. 30+ years of quality, safety, and pride in every project.
