Civil Engineer Project Manager – Civil Solutions & Automation

What You'll Do

• Civil Engineering & Construction Integration
• Serve as the civil engineering subject matter expert responsible for defining how civil construction activities should be executed and integrated.
• Develop practical civil work solutions based on project requirements, field conditions, construction methodologies, and available equipment capabilities.
• Define the appropriate sequence of civil construction operations, including excavation, grading, trenching, earthmoving, material movement, and related site activities.
• Evaluate whether proposed equipment and technology solutions can meet actual construction requirements, including production expectations, operating limitations, excavation depths, grading tolerances, site constraints, and other field requirements.
• Identify gaps between technical capabilities and construction needs and work with internal and external teams to develop practical solutions.
• Ensure solutions are designed around real-world construction requirements rather than individual equipment capabilities alone.
• Solution Development & Integration
• Coordinate the integration of multiple construction technologies, equipment platforms, and operational processes into a complete civil works solution.
• Define operational interfaces and dependencies between individual equipment and technology solutions.
• Ensure individual solutions work together in the correct construction sequence and collectively support overall project objectives.
• Partner with engineering, product, technology, operations, construction, and external solution providers to translate field requirements into clear technical and operational requirements.
• Evaluate technical solutions from the perspective of constructability, field execution, productivity, and scalability.
• Support the development of repeatable civil construction solutions that can be applied across multiple projects and environments rather than being limited to a single site.
• Project & Delivery Management
• Develop and maintain project plans, milestones, schedules, deliverables, and implementation strategies.
• Track the development and delivery timelines of individual equipment, automation, and technology solutions.
• Cook dependencies between multiple workstreams and ensure required solutions are delivered in the appropriate sequence.
• Identify schedule, technical, operational, and integration risks and proactively develop mitigation strategies.
• Lead cross-functional meetings to review progress, resolve issues, and maintain alignment between engineering, technology, construction, and operations teams.
• Provide clear reporting on project status, milestones, risks, dependencies, and solution readiness.
• Ensure that technical development remains aligned with field deployment requirements and construction schedules.
• Field Validation & Constructability
• Work closely with construction and field teams to understand workflow, equipment utilization, production requirements, and site constraints.
• Participate in field testing, demonstrations, pilots, and solution validation activities.
• Evaluate solution performance and recommend improvements based on actual field results.
• Support development of construction methodologies, workflows, and operating procedures associated with new technologies.
• Ensure solutions can be safely and effectively incorporated into existing construction operations.
• Automation & Emerging Technology
• Support the evaluation and deployment of automation technologies within civil construction workflows.
• Collaborate with technology partners developing autonomous or semi-autonomous construction equipment and related systems.
• Help translate traditional construction processes into workflows that can be supported by automated equipment and technology.
• Evaluate equipment and automation capabilities against actual construction requirements and identify operational limitations or development needs.
• Support integration of multiple automated or technology-enabled systems into coordinated construction operations.
