## Project Manager, Heavy Civil Construction

A growing, self-performing heavy civil contractor is hiring a Project Manager to step in immediately and own multiple concurrent projects. This is a backfill role created by urgent departure, and the company is also considering a second PM hire given their current growth rate. If you have earthwork and underground utilities experience, take ownership seriously, and thrive in a process-driven, high-accountability office environment, this is your next move.

## What You Will Run

- 3 to 4 concurrent projects at any given time (reduced to 2 to 3 for large-scale projects in the $25M to $30M range)
- Full-site package scopes including earthwork and underground utilities, all sizes
- Project setup, job costing, and coding in the project management system
- Change orders, takeoffs, and plan reading
- Coordination across accounting, field foremen, and subcontractors to ensure accurate job cost reconciliation
- One shared Project Engineer (recently promoted from estimating)

## The Work Environment

- 90 to 95% office-based. This is not a field-heavy role.
- In-person, in-office daily. No remote work.
- Fast-paced, high-accountability culture where processes and follow-through matter.

## What It Takes

- Earthwork and underground utilities experience is a must. Full site package background strongly preferred.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong organizational and clerical discipline.
- Ability to read and mark up construction plans.
- Change order management and takeoff experience.
- Strong attention to detail. Project setup must be done correctly on the front end: coding, system entry, subcontractor coordination. Accurate setup drives everything downstream through accounting and job cost.
- No shortcuts mentality. You understand that cutting corners on the front end creates problems everywhere else.

**Also Strongly Considered:** Senior Estimators ready for a PM promotion. If you have 5 to 10 years of estimating experience and are ready to grow into project management, the company is open to coaching the right person up.

## Software & Tools

- Spectrum (project management and accounting) – required, will train
- Bluebeam (plan reading and markups) – required
- HeavyJob by HCSS (field timekeeping) – familiarity preferred, very user-friendly
- HCSS HeavyBid (estimating) – big plus, especially for estimator-track candidates

## Compensation and Benefits

- Base Salary: $100,000 (senior estimator/growth track) up to $135,000+ (experienced PM); up to $150,000 for a standout candidate
- Bonus: 10% of base salary, tied to agreed-upon KPIs. Flexible structure, can adjust base/incentive split.
- Company vehicle provided with personal use to and from home and job sites
- Fuel card included
