Build Landmark Projects from Concept to Completion

Take ownership of high-impact design-build projects across the region.

This is more than a traditional PM role—you’ll be at the center of planning, design coordination, and construction execution , helping shape projects from early concept through final delivery. If you thrive in fast-paced environments where you can influence outcomes and drive results, this role puts you in the driver’s seat.

What You’ll Do

Lead projects from pursuit through completion , including planning, budgeting, and execution strategy

Take ownership of project financials , managing budgets, minimizing risk, and protecting margins

Drive design-build coordination , ensuring alignment between engineering, procurement, and construction

Oversee procurement and proposal efforts , keeping projects moving from concept to contract

Develop and manage project work plans , schedules, and resource allocation

Conduct constructability reviews to identify risks early and improve execution

Coordinate across all stakeholders—owners, engineers, subcontractors, and vendors

Monitor progress, lead status meetings, and proactively address challenges

Ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, and compliance standards

Serve as the key point of accountability for project delivery and client satisfaction

Why This Role Stands Out

True Design-Build Exposure: Influence both design and construction—not just execution

High-Impact Projects: Work on complex infrastructure that shapes communities

Autonomy & Ownership: Lead projects with real responsibility and decision-making authority

Growth Opportunity: Be part of a team expanding its design-build capabilities

✅ What You Bring

10+ years of experience managing construction projects

5+ years specifically in design-build delivery

Background in heavy civil construction (bridges, transportation, infrastructure preferred)

Strong understanding of:

Project financials and cost control

Scheduling and resource planning

Construction means and methods

Ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications

Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and drive results

Key Traits for Success

Strong leadership and communication skills

Ability to make sound decisions under pressure

Highly organized with excellent time management

Collaborative mindset with the ability to influence teams at all levels

Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (preferred)

Travel required based on project needs

Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

Why This Opportunity?
If you’re looking for a role where you can lead complex projects, influence design decisions, and take full ownership of delivery , this is an opportunity to step into a highly visible position with long-term growth potential.

Compensation: $130,000.00 - $200,000.00 per year
