    **Project Manager – Self-Perform Concrete Construction

    Location: Sioux Falls, SD Region (1–2 hours of Sioux Falls preferred)**

    A fast-growing, family-owned self-perform concrete contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to help lead major private-sector concrete projects across the Upper Midwest. This is a rare opportunity to join a company experiencing explosive but disciplined growth — expanding from small farm work to large-scale commercial, multifamily, industrial, and data center projects.

    Their work is 99% private, typically in the $3–5M+ range, with signature projects running $15–20M per phase and long-term multi-phase opportunities already awarded.

    Why This Opportunity Stands Out

    • Family-owned, values-driven environment with hands-on ownership and a strong commitment to quality.

    • True self-perform model — they perform nearly all concrete scopes in-house for tighter control over quality, schedule, and margin.

    • Consistent 15–20% year-over-year growth backed by strong client relationships, repeat work, and multi-year backlog.

    • Safety-focused with a sub-1.0 EMR.

    • Integrating EOS to bring structure, accountability, and long-term strategic clarity.

    Position: Project Manager (Concrete Construction)

    We are looking for an experienced Project Manager with strong leadership, financial acumen, and the ability to own projects from award through closeout. This is not a junior role — ideal candidates bring 5–10+ years of experience and the capability to run complex, fast-paced concrete work with confidence.

    Core Responsibilities

    • Lead projects from preconstruction through turnover (budget, schedule, change management, client communication).

    • Own project financials — margin, forecasting, and job cost accuracy.

    • Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and general project documentation.

    • Work heavily in Bluebeam, Procore, Trimble/ProjectSight (experience preferred, not required).

    • Partner with an outsourced estimating team — review take-offs and assemble final bid pricing.

    • Maintain strong relationships with owners, GCs, developers, and vendors.

    • Help represent the company early in project design phases (many key clients engage them 2–3 years before work releases).

    • Act as a leader and culture carrier for field teams and project engineers.

    Ideal Experience

    Top-tier candidates will have:

    • Self-perform concrete PM experience (slabs, foundations, tilt-up, walls, multistory, industrial, etc.).

    • Background with reputable concrete contractors (example: mid to large SP concrete groups).

    • Strong financial/budgeting understanding and ability to drive P&L outcomes.

    • Ability to travel to jobs 1–2 days/week (not heavy, not full-time).

    They will also consider candidates from:

    • Commercial GCs

    • Heavy civil contractors
      …who have strong PM fundamentals and some exposure to concrete work (even if not deep).
      If you meet ~80% of the requirements and want to live in the Sioux Falls area, you will be seriously considered.

    Travel Expectations (Important & Realistic)

    • Typical expectation: 1–2 days per week onsite for major projects.

    • Often day trips, depending on your location (e.g., leave early morning, return same day).

    • Long-term plan: project engineers will be onsite 4–5 days/week, reducing PM onsite visits to every couple of weeks.

    • Projects fall within roughly an 8-hour radius across the I-29 corridor (ND, SD, MN, northern MO, IL).

    This is not a heavy-travel, suitcase-every-week situation.

    What They’re Looking For (Beyond the Resume)

    • Someone who wants to grow with the company as they scale from $50M to $80M and beyond.

    • A PM who treats each project like their own business — with ownership thinking and margin protection.

    • Someone who can bring structure, consistency, and high standards to the operation.

    • A confident communicator who can represent the company well with owners and developers.

    • Relocation to the Sioux Falls region is strongly preferred.

    Compensation & Growth Path

    • Competitive salary aligned with experience (5–15 year PMs will be considered).

    • Clear advancement track: Project Engineer PM Senior PM Executive/Owner-level potential.

    • Opportunity to help build a new Sioux Falls satellite office as the company expands its footprint.

    • Career stability — multi-year backlog including major data center work with 10–15 phases anticipated.
