Project Manager (Houston)

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project. We’re a people-first company built on five values we call STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership.

Why Patriot — Not the Other Guys

• Real ownership. Budget to closeout, the project is yours — with a team that has your back.

• People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.
• Modern tools, not spreadsheets. Tekla Structures, Tekla EPM, Trimble Connect, FabSuite — we invest in the stack.
• A name that opens doors. 30+ years of quality, safety, and pride in every project.
