Construction Manager - Primoris Energy Services

Position Overview We're looking for a Construction Manager - Civil & Foundations to own the full scope of civil and foundation construction on our power generation and industrial projects. This is a senior leadership role that sits above the superintendent level-you're responsible for everything from site development and earthwork through structural foundations, underground utilities, and area turnover to the mechanical trades.

You own the plan, the budget, the schedule, and the people. You'll report to the Director of Construction and/or Project Director within our matrix organization, with functional coordination across project management, engineering, procurement, and commissioning. You directly lead the civil general superintendents, superintendents, and associated technical services personnel assigned to your scope-and you're accountable for delivering their work safely, on quality, on schedule, and within budget.

This role is the bridge between project-level strategy and field-level execution for civil work. You're the person who translates the project schedule and budget into an executable civil construction plan, then drives it through your team to completion-anticipating problems, resolving conflicts with other disciplines, and ensuring the civil scope never becomes the bottleneck that holds up the rest of the project.

Key Responsibilities Civil Construction Leadership
* Own and manage the complete civil and foundations scope on assigned projects, including:
* Site development, clearing, grading, and mass earthwork
* Soil stabilization, compaction, and dewatering systems
* Structural foundations for turbines, generators, HRSGs, and major rotating equipment
* Equipment pads, pipe rack foundations, and building foundations
* Anchor bolt and embedment installation
* Underground utilities, drainage, and storm water systems
* Concrete placement, finishing, and curing
* Formwork, reinforcing steel, and post-tensioning
* Piling, drilled shafts, and deep foundation systems as applicable
* Develop and own the civil construction execution plan-sequencing, methodology, resource loading, and area turnover strategy
* Ensure the civil scope stays ahead of and supports the mechanical erection schedule-foundations ready when steel, equipment, and pipe need them
* Drive area-by-area turnover from civil to mechanical trades, ensuring foundations, anchor bolts, and embeds are verified, documented, and accepted Planning, Schedule & Budget
* Develop and manage the civil construction schedule in coordination with project controls, planning, and the overall project schedule
* Own the civil construction budget-forecasting costs, tracking actuals, managing labor productivity, and controlling scope changes
* Lead look-ahead planning for all civil activities, identifying constraints, material needs, and equipment requirements
* Monitor and report on civil progress metrics: cubic yards moved, foundations poured, anchor bolt sets completed, underground footage installed, and area turnover status
* Develop and execute recovery plans when civil work falls behind schedule or exceeds budget
* Review and approve subcontractor work plans, schedules, and invoices for civil scope
* Manage civil-related change orders, scope changes, and claims in coordination with project management People & Organization
* Directly lead and manage civil general superintendents, superintendents (structural concrete, site development), and associated technical services staff
* Set performance expectations, conduct reviews, and drive accountability across the civil team
* Manage civil manpower planning-forecasting labor needs, coordinating mobilization/demobilization, and balancing resources across areas
* Manage civil subcontractor relationships, performance, and coordination
* Mentor and develop superintendents and emerging leaders within the civil discipline
* Support hiring and staffing decisions for the civil team in coordination with the Director of Construction Quality & Compliance
* Ensure all civil work meets project specifications, ACI standards, geotechnical requirements, and applicable codes
* Oversee QC performance for earthwork compaction, concrete placement, foundation tolerances, anchor bolt verification, and embed inspection
* Ensure compliance with all safety policies and regulatory requirements, including OSHA and site-specific rules
* Drive a strong safety culture across all civil crews-leading by example through daily field engagement and accountability
* Ensure environmental compliance for erosion control, dewatering discharge, dust mitigation, and SWPPP requirements Cross-Discipline Coordination
* Coordinate with the mechanical construction manager and discipline superintendents (steel, millwright, pipe, electrical, boilermaker) on foundation readiness, area access, and turnover sequencing
* Interface with engineering on foundation design, geotechnical issues, design changes, and constructability concerns
* Coordinate with…
