Concrete Project Manager

About the Role

As a Concrete Project Manager at Gulf Coast Services, you will own commercial and multifamily concrete scopes end-to-end—from buyout and preconstruction through site prep, placement, finishing, and closeout. This is a hands-on, field-driven role where you will manage the schedule, budget, change orders, crews, and subcontractors while serving as the primary point of contact for the general contractor and owner.

Ideal Candidate Traits

• Hands-on and at home in the field: You prefer being on-site over desk work and understand that a successful pour begins long before concrete is placed.
• Thinking several steps ahead: You sequence subgrade, forms, rebar, embeds, and placement efficiently, planning around weather, inspections, and truck timing rather than reacting to delays.
• Accountable for the numbers: You track job costs against estimates, price changes fairly, document scope drift, and defend budgets without damaging relationships.
• A leader who holds a standard: You manage crews and subcontractors to meet schedules and specs while fostering strong relationships with inspectors, GCs, and trade partners to resolve issues proactively.

Responsibilities

Within the First 30 Days:

• Learn Gulf Coast’s mission, values, and field procedures.
• Meet weekly with concrete division leadership to review scope, safety protocols, and active work.
• Shadow division leadership to understand pre-pour inspections, scheduling, buyout, documentation, and cost control practices.
• Take on smaller, less complex scopes to apply procedures with guidance from the division.
• Build relationships with estimating, field leadership, GCs, and inspectors on your projects.

Within the Next 3 Months and Ongoing:

• Own project budgets—track labor, materials, and equipment against estimates, forecast to completion, and flag risks early.
• Price, write, and negotiate change orders; document out-of-scope work before it’s performed.
• Run buyout—solicit and evaluate subcontractor/supplier pricing, award scopes, and enforce agreements.
• Conduct pre-pour walks to verify subgrade, forms, reinforcement, embeds, and elevations against drawings.
• Schedule and coordinate placements around weather, concrete supply, inspections, and the GC’s sequence.
