Descripción del empleo

There are plenty of Project Manager roles out there.

Very few give you the opportunity to join a structural steel business that's been around for over a century, work on projects ranging from smaller specialty packages to multi-million-dollar steel projects, and become part of a company that is still actively growing.

This is one of those opportunities.

This established steel contractor operates across structural steel and miscellaneous metals, handling projects from design and fabrication through to erection.

Their work spans:

• Industrial

With multiple fabrication, erection and office operations already established — and further expansion underway — the business has built a strong platform for continued growth.

And there's something different about the ownership structure:

The company is 100% employee-owned.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

This is a new position created around continued project volume and growth.

The business isn't looking to fill a seat quickly.

They're willing to wait for the right Project Manager :

Someone with the structural steel experience to take ownership, manage multiple projects and grow with the operation.

You’ll take projects from turnover through closeout, working across:

• Project financials & cost tracking
• Scheduling & milestones
• Engineering & detailing
• Site visits & project meetings

The typical project sweet spot is around $3M–$10M, with the wider project portfolio ranging from smaller packages through to projects valued at $40M.

You’ll also have the opportunity to manage multiple projects simultaneously, with strong internal support from engineering, detailing, fabrication and erection teams.

The first year is structured around development rather than throwing you in at the deep end.

3 Months: Learn the processes, systems and procedures while getting exposure to estimating, change orders and smaller projects.

6 Months: Work alongside an experienced Project Manager in a mentoring/parallel capacity.

12 Months: Take ownership of projects independently, with internal support and an increasing workload.

The company also invests in additional training, conferences and individual development plans.

• 3–7+ years of structural steel and/or miscellaneous metals experience
• Project management experience within construction
• Comfortable around both fabrication and erection
• Stronger erection exposure is particularly valuable
• Experience managing project financials, schedules and customer communication
• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently
• Willingness to travel when projects require it

A Construction Management, Engineering or related degree is preferred — but practical steel experience is key.

This could suit someone who wants:

• Bigger and more complex projects
• A stable backlog of work
• Exposure to both fabrication and erection
• A company investing in its next stage of growth
• Employee ownership and shared success
• A business where you can build something rather than simply maintain it

Relocation support is also available.
