Job summary

Loenbro is seeking a Project Manager to own projects end-to-end, including contract, budget, schedule, and client relationships. This role requires responsibility for profitability, scope management, and written authorization of extra work.

You will lead a cross-disciplinary team, drive change orders, and present EOM updates to Area leadership. The role emphasizes CPM scheduling, cost forecasting, and earned value, with a path to advanced leadership in a growing construction group.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in construction with 3+ managing projects; mining, industrial or heavy civil preferred.
• Demonstrated ownership of a project P&L, including a project that went badly and was recovered.
• Working command of CPM scheduling, cost forecasting, earned value and change management.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Construction Management, or equivalent field-earned experience. PMP preferred.
• MSHA Part 46/48; valid 5000-23; OSHA 30; first aid/CPR.
• Able to read and interpret civil, structural, mechanical, piping and electrical drawings, isometrics, P&IDs and specifications across all six service lines.

Responsibilities

• Own the contract: know what is in scope, what is excluded, what the notice requirements are, and what the deadlines for notice actually say.
• Conduct the scope handoff from estimating to the project team before mobilization; document assumptions, exclusions and allowances.
• Issue written notice of changed conditions within the contractual notice period — this is a Project Manager duty and cannot be delegated.
• Price, submit, negotiate and close change orders; maintain the change log with status and dollar exposure.
• Authorize extra work in writing. No other role may direct the company to perform work outside contracted scope.
• Own the project budget, cost coding structure and monthly estimate at completion.
• Produce the monthly cost forecast with documented basis; no unsupported swings.
• Submit the monthly accrual to the client by the contractual deadline (typically two business days before month end).
• Prepare and submit progress billings; drive resolution of any invoice that ages past terms.
• Approve project timecards, vendor invoices, subcontractor pay applications and expense reports.
• Prep for and present to Area Manager each project for EOM updates.
• Own the single schedule of record: baseline development, monthly updates, and all revisions.
• Integrate the Superintendent's three-week look-ahead into the schedule of record — they derive from it, they do not compete with it.
• Develop recovery plans jointly with the Superintendent when the project slips; own the client-facing schedule narrative.
• Own time-impact analysis and time-extension requests.
• Issue purchase orders and subcontracts within authority; route above-threshold commitments to the Sr. Project Manager.
• Own the procurement log and long-lead item tracking; elevate delivery risk before it becomes a schedule impact.
• Own subcontractor commercial relationships, scope definition, and pay application approval.
• Serve as the single point of client contact at the project level. Route client executive matters to the Key Account Manager and field coordination to the Superintendent.
• Chair the weekly project meeting; publish minutes with actions, owners and dates.
• Direct the Assistant Project Manager and Project Engineer; define the Assistant Project Manager's delegated scope in writing at kickoff and revise it when the scope changes.
• Support the Superintendent's field execution — remove obstacles, secure resources, resolve information gaps.
• Perform employee performance reviews as per Loenbro policy and set goals for individuals.
• Accountable for the project safety plan being adequate, funded and staffed; the Superintendent executes it.
• Accountable for training and permit compliance being current before work begins.
• Participate in incident investigations and own corrective action closure at the project level.
