Job description

Project Manager (Structural Steel & Misc. Metals)

$80,000 - $120,000 + auto/fuel allowance

The Story

You’ve seen their work without knowing it.

For more than a century, this employee‑owned steel contractor has been designing, fabricating, and erecting the structures that shape the Northeast — commercial buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, and the kind of projects people point at and say, "I helped build that."

They operate multiple fabrication shops, several erection operations, and a growing network of offices. They started in bridges. Moved into commercial. And now — full circle — they’re back building bridges again.

Growth is happening. And they need a Project Manager who can keep that momentum moving.

The Role

This isn’t a desk job. It’s for someone who thrives on movement, coordination, and control.

You’ll manage steel projects from turnover to completion:

• Review drawings, schedules, RFIs, change orders
• Lead job meetings & site visits
• Track costs, billing, documentation
• Keep safety, quality, and customer communication tight

Projects range from small packages to major multi‑million‑dollar builds, with most landing between $3M–$10M. You’ll typically run 3–5 major projects at once.

Who This Is For

You’ve spent 3–7+ years in structural steel or misc. metals. You understand how steel flows — engineering → detailing → fabrication → erection. You communicate clearly and keep projects moving without being micromanaged.

You’re comfortable with:

• Erection & fabrication
• Bluebeam & Microsoft tools
• Customer coordination
• Employee-Owned (ESOP) — you’re not just staff; you’re an owner
• 100+ years of stability
• Consistent backlog
• New offices, new markets, new growth
• Bridge work returning — technically challenging, career‑defining
• Relocation support available for the right person
