The Project Manager is responsible for leading municipal and private trenchless rehabilitation projects from contract award through final completion. This is a hybrid role based out of the corporate office with regular presence at Florida project sites.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of project management experience in civil construction, utilities, or underground infrastructure

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a driven, organized civil construction professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate is proactive, financially minded, and committed to delivering safe, high-quality projects while building strong relationships with clients, field personnel, and subcontractors. Direct trenchless or CIPP experience is a plus, and we're glad to train the right candidate on the specifics - but a background in civil construction project management is what we're looking for.

Hinterland Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard.
