About the Role

We are seeking experienced Project Managers to join a growing heavy civil construction team. This role will manage multiple projects from planning through closeout, with typical project values of $2M–$10M and durations of 6 months to 2 years.

  • 3-5+ years of Project Management experience in heavy civil, wastewater, dam work, excavation, process piping, or a closely related industry
  • Candidates without direct industry experience should have 5–7+ years of PM experience
  • Experience managing $2M+ projects from start to finish
  • Ability to accurately read and interpret blueprints
  • Understanding of survey work
  • Willingness to travel to job sites throughout the Northeast; most travel is day-trip based

Key Benefits of the Role

  • $100K–$140K base + performance bonus (typically around 25%, uncapped)
  • Family-oriented, tight-knit company with long-tenured employees

This is an opportunity for a Project Manager who enjoys solving unique challenges, taking ownership, and working in a hands-on environment rather than a highly corporate setting.


Looking forward to your application!
