A well-established specialty construction contractor is hiring a Construction Project Manager to deliver complex geotechnical and heavy civil projects. The work spans deep foundations, shoring, earth retention, ground improvement, grouting, drilling, and dewatering, often on sites where the ground conditions and access make every decision matter.

- Coordinate with engineers and internal teams on design-build projects
- Review work against contracts, drawings, specifications, and regulatory requirements
- Lead internal meetings and client-facing project discussions
- Champion jobsite safety and identify operational efficiencies
- Required Experience
- 5 to 10+ years in construction
- Several years as a Project Manager or similar role in heavy civil, specialty, or geotechnical construction
