Utility and HWY Construction opportunity
Skills Can Be Taught. Potential Can't. A family-owned heavy civil contractor in the Sioux City, IA area is looking for its next Project Manager/Estimator—and they're hiring for potential, not just a title on a résumé. If you've built your career in the field as a Superintendent, Foreman, Field Engineer, or heavy civil/utility professional, this could be your opportunity to take the next step.
About the role
You don't need to already be an experienced PM or Estimator.
