Strong Compensation – Competitive salary, bonus potential, vehicle allowance, and benefits.

As Project Manager , you will lead key heavy civil infrastructure projects across the Houston metro area, with a focus on pump/lift stations, stormwater improvements, and underground utilities. You will manage schedules, budgets, client relationships, and field coordination to ensure successful project delivery with a sharp focus on quality, safety, and execution excellence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage full project lifecycle including scheduling, budgeting, procurement, and contract administration.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, engineers, and public agencies (City of Houston, Harris County).
