Sr. Project Manager - Heavy Civil Infrastructure

Salary: $150,000 - $170,000 per year

About the role

An established, employee-owned heavy civil contractor is expanding its Texas operations and is adding a Senior Project Manager to support multiple large, complex infrastructure projects. This is a growth-driven role, not a backfill, with long-term backlog and visibility into upcoming work.

Why join us

• Ownership and long-term wealth-building opportunity
• Strong healthcare and benefits
• Real project scale and backlog
• Improved work-life balance compared to many large civil contractors
• Texas-focused work with realistic travel expectations

The Work

• Large-scale, multi-scope, civil infrastructure projects
• High percentage of self-performed work
• Long-duration, technically complex projects (not short-cycle maintenance)
• Senior PMs are primarily office-based in a field environment, focused on leadership, execution, and decision-making

What This Role Looks Like

• Full ownership of major projects from early phases through execution
• Leadership of PMs, Superintendents, and project teams
• Direct interaction with owners, engineers, and internal leadership
• Strategic problem-solving rather than constant fire-drills
• Ability to influence how work is executed - not just react to it

Backgrounds That Translate Well

• Heavy civil, pipeline, plant, or infrastructure construction experience
• Experience on large-dollar projects where planning and leadership matter
• Candidates from pipeline, plant, heavy highway, or complex civil environments are all considered
• Technical gaps can be taught - judgment, leadership, and communication cannot
