Your path to running a project starts here.
Every great project manager started by mastering the details. As Assistant Project Manager in our Central Texas division, you’ll learn steel project delivery from proposal to closeout — with real responsibility from day one, regular time in the field, and a defined runway to running your own jobs.
A real runway. APM Project Manager Senior PM division leadership — we promote the people who deliver.
Dual AISC certification. Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — one accountable team from shop drawings to topped-out steel.
People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.
Modern tools, not spreadsheets. Tekla Structures, Tekla EPM, Trimble Connect, FabSuite — we invest in the stack.
A name that opens doors. 30+ years of quality, safety, and pride in every project.
