We are a locally established site work contractor based in Northern California with deep roots in the construction community. Our history spans multiple generations, reflecting a long‑standing commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, and lasting relationships built on trust and quality work. We specialize in site work and perform both public and private construction projects, including commercial and residential developments. A large portion of our work comes from repeat clients and trusted referrals, including long‑term partnerships with engineering firms that consistently recognize the reliability and quality of our work.

Strong community involvement is a core part of who we are. We have proudly donated services to local organizations and community projects, supporting education, youth programs, arts initiatives, and recreational spaces.

• Blue Cross PPO medical coverage with 100% of the premium paid by the company, covering the employee and their entire family.

Your Role with the Company

As a Project Manager, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing construction projects from inception through completion. This role ensures all work is delivered in accordance with contractual requirements, schedules, budgets, quality standards, and safety protocols. You will be the central point of contact, coordinating with owners, engineers, field leadership, subcontractors, and other key stakeholders to drive successful project outcomes.

This is primarily an office‑based role, focused on project planning, coordination, and communication. You will work closely with the General Superintendent and Foremen to support field operations, ensure alignment between office and jobsite activities, and help address challenges proactively. Projects operate under Operators and Laborers agreements, and the Project Manager plays an important role in ensuring compliance and coordination across union signatory requirements.

Leadership at the company is grounded in respect, teamwork, and accountability. This is a no‑yelling, no‑blame environment. When challenges arise, the team focuses on identifying root causes, learning from them, and moving forward together without finger‑pointing. The Project Manager is expected to lead with calm, clarity, and professionalism, fostering a culture where everyone pulls together and succeeds as a team. You will report directly to the President, with additional support from the Office Manager and Vice President.
