About the role

We self-perform heavy civil, heavy highway, site development, and utility work for federal, state, municipal, and private customers, backed by more than $10M in company-owned equipment. Our founding philosophy has held for five decades: it's all about management , good people and well-thought-out direction. You'll be paired with a Senior Project Manager on active heavy civil and highway projects and handed real responsibility from day one , this is not a "watch and learn" seat. You'll run the daily engine of the project: submittals, RFIs, procurement and material tracking, subcontractor coordination, quantity and cost tracking, and monthly payment requisitions.

What you would own

  • Drive submittals, RFIs, and procurement schedules so field crews stay ahead of the work.
  • Coordinate subcontractors and supplier purchase orders to protect schedule commitments.
  • Track quantities, production, and costs against budget , and flag variances early.
  • Support monthly payment requisitions, cost projections, and project documentation.
  • Support a safety culture that's instilled at every level of the project, not laminated on a wall What You Bring.
  • 2, 5 years on heavy civil, highway, or utility projects (field engineer, project engineer, or current APM).
  • Working knowledge of construction scheduling and cost tracking; HeavyJob, Bluebeam, or P6 exposure is a plus.
  • B.S. in Civil Engineering or Construction Management, and/or equivalent field experience.
  • Valid driver's license with a good driving record; travel is primarily local.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to the Richmond area (relocation assistance available for the right candidate) Why Join Us Fifty-plus years in business and still family-owned , no private equity, no revolving-door leadership.
  • Leadership that knows your name and invests in developing the next generation.
  • Projects you can drive past and point at for the rest of your career.

What they offer

  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance + FSA program.
  • 8 paid holidays plus a personal floating holiday.
  • Employment is conditional on satisfactorily completing all pre-employment requirements.
