Job description

Civil Project Manager — Build the Backbone of a Growing City

Boise is expanding fast, and every new road, utility line, grading plan, and infrastructure upgrade needs a steady hand at the helm. We’re looking for a Civil Project Manager who can turn chaos into coordination, dirt into direction, and blueprints into reality without breaking stride.

This isn’t a “sit-back-and-check-spreadsheets” role. This is field-meets-strategy leadership where you’re just as comfortable talking trench depth with crews as you are aligning budgets with stakeholders.

What You’ll Command

You’ll run civil projects like a well-tuned machine with a few moving parts that occasionally try to rebel:

• Lead full lifecycle civil construction projects (grading, utilities, roads, site development)
• Own budgets, schedules, RFIs, change orders, and everything in between
• Coordinate with engineers, subcontractors, inspectors, and municipalities
• Translate design intent into field execution that actually works in the real world
• Anticipate problems before they surface like weathered cracks in fresh asphalt
• Keep safety, quality, and timeline locked in formation
• Run project meetings that end with clarity, not confusion

What You Bring to the Table

We’re not looking for perfect. We’re looking for battle-tested:

• 5+ years in civil construction or heavy civil project management
• Strong understanding of earthwork, utilities, paving, and site development
• Ability to read plans like a second language (and spot issues instantly)
• Experience managing crews, subs, and budgets without losing the thread
• Calm decision-making when schedules tighten and conditions shift
• Familiarity with local codes, permitting, and inspection processes

What You’ll Get Back

• Competitive $120K–$150K compensation range
• High-impact projects shaping a rapidly growing region
• Authority to run work, not just observe it
• A team that respects field intelligence and decisive leadership
• Projects that leave fingerprints on the physical landscape of Boise

The Vibe

Think less “office-bound coordinator,” more field strategist with boots in the dirt and a headset full of moving parts. You’re the one who keeps civil infrastructure from becoming civil chaos.

If you like building things that outlive conversations, this is your arena.
