We are growing, and we're looking for entrepreneurial project managers who want to grow with us.

The Opportunity

TCC is looking for talented, entrepreneurial project managers who want to build and lead their own book of business, with the full support of an established contractor behind them. We're open to every area of specialty. Your background might be bridges, highways, site work, utilities, building construction, or something else. What matters most is that you think like an owner. You find work, win it, run it well and build lasting client relationships.

You bring the drive, relationships and expertise. We bring the bonding capacity, equipment, field crews, estimating, back-office systems and leadership support to help you grow faster than you could alone.

What You'll Do

• Find and develop new work in your area of expertise, and build relationships with owners, agencies, engineers and general contractors.
• Pursue and win projects, working with estimating on bids, proposals and pricing strategy.
• Lead your projects from preconstruction through closeout, including budgets, schedules, forecasts and cost-to-complete.
• Work closely with superintendents, foremen, subcontractors, suppliers and field teams to make sure work gets done safely and well.
• Manage contract administration: subcontracts, purchase orders, change orders, RFIs, submittals, pay applications and billing.
• Track production, costs and profitability, and report regularly to leadership.
• Spot risks early, solve problems and keep projects moving.
• Represent TCC with clients and in the market as you build your portfolio and reputation.

What We're Looking For

• A track record of successfully managing construction projects in any specialty.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, with the drive to build relationships, develop new work and own results.
• An existing network of clients, owners or industry contacts, or the ambition to build one.
• Strong command of budgets, schedules, forecasting and cost controls.
• Experience with contract administration and with reading plans, specs and contract documents.
• Strong communication, leadership and organizational skills.
• Good judgment, problem-solving ability and attention to detail.
• Comfort working in the field and in the office.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of construction project management experience.
• Experience with public-sector work (PennDOT or other DOT, municipal, institutional) and/or private-sector clients.
• Business development or client-facing experience.
• A bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Why TCC

• The independence to build your own book of business, without carrying the risk alone.
• Access to TCC's bonding, equipment, workforce, estimating and administrative support.
• Rewards that grow as your business grows.
• A leadership team that invests in entrepreneurial people.

Travel

Local and regional travel to project sites and client meetings, depending on your portfolio.

• Performance-based annual bonus, with added upside tied to the work you bring in and deliver
• Medical and dental insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Paid time off
