Overview
Job Description
We are hiring a Field Project Manager to lead execution across our highway and heavy civil infrastructure projects.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in the field — not behind a desk. You’ll take ownership of projects involving drainage systems, guide rail/bridge rail, and concrete demolition, working across active DOT corridors.
We are a well-established contractor with decades of experience delivering complex, high-stakes infrastructure work. With a strong pipeline of DOT projects and continued growth, this role offers the opportunity to make a visible impact on field operations, team performance, and project delivery.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience managing field crews on highway, civil, or heavy infrastructure projects — you know how to lead people, not just schedule them
- Comfort navigating DOT-regulated project environments: documentation requirements, safety protocols, and public agency expectations are familiar territory
- A superintendent's instincts paired with a project manager's discipline — someone who can be in the field and in front of a schedule at the same time
- Experience in any combination of drainage/utility, bridge/guide rail, or concrete demolition is a genuine advantage; candidates from adjacent highway civil backgrounds will be considered
- Estimating familiarity is a plus, not a dealbreaker — the right field leader who can grow into bid support is equally compelling to this client
- Ability and willingness to travel overnight; projects are distributed across a wide geography and this role requires presence on the ground
- Valid driver's license; clean driving record
What You'll Do
- Lead field execution across multiple highway and civil infrastructure projects from mobilization through closeout
- Manage and supervise field crews across multiple job sites
- Oversee daily operations including:
- Labor coordination
- Subcontractor management
- Safety compliance
- Field decision-making
- Ensure projects stay on schedule, within scope, and meet quality standards
- Identify opportunities to improve field efficiency and execution
- Communicate regularly with internal teams on project status, costs, and schedule updates
- Participate in pre-construction planning
- Support estimating efforts for upcoming bids (projects up to ~$4M), if applicable
- Travel to active job sites as needed (overnight travel required across regional projects)
Benefits
- Competitive salary (based on experience)
- Performance-based incentives / bonus potential
- 100% employer-paid medical insurance
- Health Savings Account (HSA)
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Profit-sharing program
- Company vehicle provided for project-related travel
- Direct access to leadership in a collaborative, high-impact environment
