We work in both public and private markets and are known for tackling complex jobs, meeting aggressive schedules, and doing it all with a team-first attitude. Our goal isn’t volume—it’s excellence.

What You’ll Do

We’re hiring an experienced Project Manager who knows the underground utility business and can drive projects from NTP to closeout. This isn’t a paper-pusher role—we’re looking for someone who knows the dirt, leads from the front, and makes things happen.

• Lead all phases of civil utility projects (storm, sewer, water, duct bank)

• Build and manage schedules, budgets, and manpower plans

• Coordinate field crews, foremen, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients

• Review plans, specs, submittals, RFIs, and manage change orders

• Track job cost performance and prepare monthly forecasts

• Visit jobsites regularly to support crews and verify progress and quality

• Serve as the main point of contact for inspectors, engineers, and owners

• Ensure all work is performed safely and meets contract requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years managing underground civil or utility construction projects

• In-depth knowledge of utility installation methods (open cut, dewatering, mechanical joints, etc.)

• Solid experience with public infrastructure projects and inspections

• Proficiency in construction management tools (Procore, Bluebeam, or similar)

• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specs, and permitting

• Able to lead crews and communicate effectively with field and office teams

• Bonus: Bachelor’s in Construction Management or Civil Engineering (or equivalent experience)

What You’ll Get

• Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience)

• PTO + Paid holidays

• Career growth in a tight-knit company with a great reputation

• Opportunity to help shape and grow the PM department

• Work on essential infrastructure that actually matters
