Job Description

Who We Are

We are a locally owned San Francisco General Engineering Contractor delivering concrete and heavy-civil infrastructure—roadway reconstruction, utility upgrades, streetscape improvements, and structural concrete—throughout the Bay Area. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an innovative, self-directed Project Manager to oversee multiple projects (up to $3 million) from our headquarters, collaborating closely with our field crews and clients.

Key Responsibilities

1. Pre-Construction & Permitting
   • Prepare subcontract agreements, insurance certificates, and compliance paperwork (local hire, apprenticeship, prevailing wage, LBE).
   • Secure permits and required public notifications (excavation, DBI, towing, 10- & 30-day mailers).
   • Identify and expedite long-lead materials, approvals, or submittals.
2. Document & Cost Control
   • Prepare, prioritize, and track submittals, RFIs, change orders, and T&M tickets in a single integrated log; secure approvals before they impact construction.
   • Draft RFIs, PCOs, and T&M tags; develop pricing, obtain owner approval, and close each item out.
   • Issue and track T&M tickets for any non-contract work, ensuring proper backup and signature.
   • Prepare and submit monthly pay applications; monitor budgets, forecast cost-to-complete, and recommend cost-saving measures.
   • Compile daily reports and safety documentation and collect subcontractor safety paperwork.
3. Scheduling & Coordination
   • Build baseline CPM schedules and 3-week look-ahead schedules in Microsoft Project.
   • Lead weekly progress meetings and issue actionable minutes.
   • Ensure critical-path activities remain on schedule and adjust logic as needed.
   • Coordinate and schedule subcontractors; issue a comprehensive schedule update each month.
4. Stakeholder & Issue Management
   • Notify the owner promptly when conflicts or unforeseen conditions arise.
   • Distinguish contract scope from extra work and initiate change management for out-of-scope items.
   • Resolve field conflicts, utility surprises, and public-access concerns with minimal disruption.
5. Project Close-Out
   • Drive punch-list completion, warranties, O&M manuals, final billings, and retention releases.
   • Ensure all PCOs, T&M work, and documentation are closed out for on-time owner acceptance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management or Civil Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• 5–10 years managing heavy-civil/infrastructure projects (roadways, utilities, concrete)
• Proven success running multiple concurrent projects
• Hands-on with RFIs, submittals, change orders, and cost reports
• Clear communicator and negotiator
• Able to prioritize and self-direct in a fast-moving environment
• Proficient with Microsoft Project
• Familiarity with City & County of San Francisco procedures

Why Join Us?

• Competitive Compensation & Benefits – Earn a market-leading salary and enjoy comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) coverage.
• Ownership – Take the lead on decisions and responsibilities that would take years to earn at larger firms.
• Growth – Join a profitable, expanding company where your career can accelerate alongside our project portfolio.
• Build the Bay Area – Deliver essential infrastructure that makes a visible difference in the communities we serve.
