Job description

The Project Manager is responsible for the successful planning, execution, and closeout of civil construction and infrastructure projects throughout Alaska, with an emphasis on remote and logistically challenging environments.

The Project Manager provides overall leadership for project safety, quality, schedule, cost, contract administration, procurement, personnel, subcontractors, and client relationships. The position works closely with NCC's project teams, estimating, accounting, project controls, equipment, logistics, and marine operations personnel to ensure projects are safely and efficiently delivered.

NCC's Civil & Marine Division frequently operates in remote locations. As such, the Project Manager will work closely with our Marine Operations Manager to coordinate transportation, the shipment of cargo, equipment mobilization, material delivery, seasonal access, and other logistics necessary to support project execution throughout Alaska.
