Job description

Career Development Manager

Brayman Construction Corporation, a leader in heavy civil and geotechnical construction, is seeking an experienced Career Development Manager to lead employee development initiatives across the organization. This position is responsible for developing and executing programs that support career growth, leadership development, succession planning, and employee engagement.

Reporting to senior leadership, the Career Development Manager will collaborate with Human Resources, Recruiting, and operational leaders to strengthen internal talent, enhance employee retention, and align development initiatives with business objectives.

This role is best suited for an experienced professional who enjoys working in a mid‑sized organization where broad responsibility, collaboration, and hands‑on execution are valued. Candidates from highly specialized enterprise learning environments should recognize that this position offers greater organizational impact across a smaller, more agile workforce.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee the company's Career Development Program, including supervision of the Career Development Coach.
• Design and implement employee development, career pathing, succession planning, and leadership development initiatives.
• Provide individual career coaching, professional guidance, and development planning for employees.
• Partner with department leaders to identify workforce development needs and implement effective learning solutions.
• Measure program effectiveness through reporting, employee feedback, and performance metrics while providing updates to executive leadership.
• Research and pursue workforce development grants and other external funding opportunities.
• Collaborate with Human Resources, Recruiting, and leadership while maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Education, Psychology, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.
• Five (5) or more years of experience in Career Development, Learning & Development, Talent Development, Organizational Development, Human Resources, or a related discipline. Equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Demonstrated experience developing and facilitating employee or leadership development programs.
• Strong communication, coaching, presentation, and relationship‑building skills.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and project management abilities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Ability to travel up to 15% as business needs require.

Safety Sensitive Position

This is a Safety Sensitive Position requiring work on project sites, including federal projects. Project sites contain various safety hazards associated with heavy construction. This position may also entail project site work at night and on weekends on an as needed basis. This position will be subject to more stringent drug testing and compliance policies associated with our status as a Federal Contractor.

This job description is presented as guidance only. Other reasonable tasks or responsibilities as management sees necessary may be added to this job description in order to achieve satisfactory job performance by the team member.

Certain positions with the company will have access to confidential and proprietary information. Successful candidates for those positions will be required to sign our standard confidentiality agreement as a condition of employment.
