- Identify potential problems early and develop solutions before they impact the project
- Coordinate procurement and ensure materials and equipment are available when needed
- Review field production and help keep projects on schedule and within budget
- Maintain accurate project records and assist with billing and project closeout

Preferred Experience
- Underground utility construction
- Civil construction or site development
- Excavation and trenching
- Electrical or dry utility infrastructure
- Directional drilling/HDD
- Commercial construction
- Public works or infrastructure projects
*Underground experience is preferred, but it is not a requirement. We are willing to consider an experienced Construction Project Manager from another construction discipline who has the right management skills and is willing to learn underground utility construction.*
The Person We're Looking For
The right person for this position is someone who can have *several projects moving at once without losing control of the details*.
You should be comfortable receiving a problem from the field, gathering the necessary information, making a decision, and moving the project forward. We value Project Managers who communicate well, follow through on commitments, and don't need to be reminded about every outstanding item.
We're looking for someone who is:
- *Organized* – keeps projects, schedules, documentation, and priorities under control
- *Decisive* – can evaluate a situation and make sound decisions
- *Proactive* – identifies issues before they become bigger problems
- *Accountable* – takes ownership of project results
- *Adaptable* – can change priorities as field conditions and schedules change
- *A strong multitasker* – can manage several active projects without letting important details fall through the cracks
- *Construction-minded* – understands that successful project management requires working closely with the field, not just managing from a desk
