Design-Build Project Manager – Heavy Civil
Regional Travel Required ️ Bridge, Infrastructure & Complex Civil Projects Full-Time Opportunity
Build Landmark Projects from Concept to Completion
Take ownership of high-impact design-build projects across the region.
This is more than a traditional PM role—you’ll be at the center of planning, design coordination, and construction execution, helping shape projects from early concept through final delivery. If you thrive in fast-paced environments where you can influence outcomes and drive results, this role puts you in the driver’s seat.
What You’ll Do
As a Design-Build Project Manager, you will:
- Lead projects from pursuit through completion, including planning, budgeting, and execution strategy
- Take ownership of project financials, managing budgets, minimizing risk, and protecting margins
- Drive design-build coordination, ensuring alignment between engineering, procurement, and construction
- Oversee procurement and proposal efforts, keeping projects moving from concept to contract
- Develop and manage project work plans, schedules, and resource allocation
- Conduct constructability reviews to identify risks early and improve execution
- Coordinate across all stakeholders—owners, engineers, subcontractors, and vendors
- Monitor progress, lead status meetings, and proactively address challenges
- Ensure strict adherence to safety, quality, and compliance standards
- Serve as the key point of accountability for project delivery and client satisfaction
Why This Role Stands Out
- True Design-Build Exposure: Influence both design and construction—not just execution
- High-Impact Projects: Work on complex infrastructure that shapes communities
- Autonomy & Ownership: Lead projects with real responsibility and decision-making authority
- Growth Opportunity: Be part of a team expanding its design-build capabilities
What You Bring
- 10+ years of experience managing construction projects
- 5+ years specifically in design-build delivery
- Background in heavy civil construction (bridges, transportation, infrastructure preferred)
- Strong understanding of:
- Project financials and cost control
- Scheduling and resource planning
- Construction means and methods
- Ability to read and interpret drawings and specifications
- Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and drive results
Key Traits for Success
- Strong leadership and communication skills
- Ability to make sound decisions under pressure
- Highly organized with excellent time management
- Collaborative mindset with the ability to influence teams at all levels
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (preferred)
️ Additional Details
- Travel required based on project needs
- Must be authorized to work in the U.S.
Why This Opportunity?
If you’re looking for a role where you can lead complex projects, influence design decisions, and take full ownership of delivery, this is an opportunity to step into a highly visible position with long-term growth potential.
