Description

In this role you will own the project from bid handoff to closeout, being accountable for schedule, cost, quality, safety, and profit. You will lead crews, align superintendents, manage risk, and make real‑time decisions that move dirt, people, and outcomes. The focus is on delivering clean jobs, tight schedules, and strong margins while leading with respect, clarity, and backbone.

Key responsibilities include managing heavy civil projects from pre‑construction through closeout, owning the project P&L, and controlling estimates, budgets, subcontracts, purchase orders, and change orders. You will build and manage schedules, coordinate manpower, equipment, and materials, and adjust plans proactively. Partnering with superintendents, foremen, and engineers, you will set clear expectations, mentor junior staff, and maintain strong client and stakeholder relationships.
