• Track and document change orders, delays, claims, and field conditions
• Manage purchasing activities within approved budgets
• Maintain accurate project reports, schedules, cost tracking, and daily logs
• Review and submit progress quantities and billing information
• Partner closely with Project Managers and Regional Operations leadership
• Promote and enforce OSHA, company, and client safety standards
• Drive project completion while maintaining quality, profitability, and client expectations

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of supervisory experience in heavy civil construction
• Proven experience leading large field operations and project teams
• Strong understanding of scheduling, budgeting, and cost control
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders while maintaining project momentum
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Engineering degree preferred, or equivalent combination of education and field experience
• Ability and willingness to travel as required by project demands

✅ High-visibility leadership role with significant autonomy
✅ Opportunity to manage complex heavy civil projects
✅ Direct impact on project success, profitability, and operations
✅ Growing organization with a strong project pipeline
✅ Long-term career advancement opportunities

If you're a proven heavy civil construction leader who knows how to build strong teams, control costs, maintain safety, and deliver projects successfully, we'd like to speak with you.
