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
