The Role
Supporting the EPC Project Manager or Program Manager, you’ll oversee day-to-day construction operations, ensuring safety, quality, schedule, and cost objectives are met. From managing subcontractors and suppliers to driving project P&L, you’ll play a critical role in delivering complex projects while fostering client relationships and mentoring field teams. This is a full-time, office-based role with occasional field visits.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction, Construction Management, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

Why Join Our Client?

• Competitive Salary: $140k-$160k base (determined by direct experience), plus performance bonus.
