A growing heavy civil contractor is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager / Project Executive to take a leadership role within its project management organization.
This is an opportunity for an accomplished heavy civil professional who wants broader ownership than a traditional Project Manager position. The successful candidate will oversee complex projects while also helping establish stronger project management processes, develop less-experienced staff, and support the continued growth of the organization.
The ideal candidate understands the full lifecycle of a heavy civil project, from contract review and startup through cost control, forecasting, change management, billing, client management, and closeout.

Compensation will be competitive for an experienced heavy civil leader and may include performance incentives, vehicle or vehicle allowance, and benefits.
