We're looking for someone who understands the construction process, communicates effectively with field crews and subcontractors, and takes ownership of project results.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage heavy civil construction projects from preconstruction through final completion.
  • Oversee project schedules, budgets, resources, and overall performance.
  • Coordinate daily activities with superintendents, foremen, subcontractors, and field personnel.

  • Monitor labor, equipment, materials, subcontractor costs, and overall profitability.
  • Track project progress and provide regular updates to company leadership.
  • Manage change orders, project documentation, and contract modifications.
  • Review subcontractor invoices, purchase orders, and project-related expenses.
  • Work closely with estimating and accounting teams to maintain accurate financial reporting.

Field Operations & Team Coordination

  • Partner with field supervisors to ensure efficient scheduling of crews, equipment, and materials.
  • Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors to meet project deadlines.
  • Conduct regular jobsite visits to monitor progress, quality, and safety.
  • Resolve field issues, scheduling conflicts, and unforeseen construction challenges.
  • Promote a strong safety culture and compliance with OSHA and applicable regulations.

Client & Stakeholder Communication

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for project owners, engineers, inspectors, and other stakeholders.
  • Attend project meetings and provide updates regarding schedules, progress, and potential challenges.
  • Maintain positive working relationships with customers, subcontractors, and project partners.
  • Coordinate inspections, permitting requirements, and project closeout documentation.
  • Ensure customer expectations are met throughout the construction process.

Qualifications

Required:

  • Previous project management experience in heavy civil construction, site development, infrastructure, or a closely related construction field.
  • Strong understanding of construction plans, specifications, scheduling, and project execution.
  • Experience managing budgets, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and field personnel.

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and solve problems in a fast-paced construction environment.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and construction project management software.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel to local project sites as needed.

Preferred:

  • Experience with Maryland and Delmarva-area civil construction projects.
  • Background in roadway construction, asphalt paving, excavation, stormwater management, or underground utility installation.

  • Opportunity for long-term career growth and increased responsibility.
  • Position based on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
