We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to join a well-established power and infrastructure contractor in the Lincoln, Nebraska area.

This is a high-level project management opportunity for someone who understands construction from the field up and knows how to take ownership of a project from startup through completion.

The ideal candidate will come from civil, utility, electrical, powerline, underground utility, telecom/fiber, or heavy infrastructure construction. We are especially interested in someone who understands how the work actually gets done in the field — crews, equipment, materials, schedules, job costs and the unexpected problems that come with construction.

• Coordinate crews, subcontractors, equipment, materials and project schedules
• Work closely with Superintendents, Foremen, Estimators and Operations
• Monitor project budgets, job costs, production and overall financial performance
• Manage change orders, documentation, billing information and project closeout
• Review plans, specifications, contracts and project requirements
• Coordinate with customers, engineers, municipalities and other project stakeholders
• Identify potential issues early and develop solutions to keep projects moving
• Make sure field teams have the equipment, materials and information they need
• Maintain strong communication between field operations, customers and leadership
• Take ownership of project schedules, quality, safety and overall execution

What We're Looking For

• Previous Project Management experience in construction
• Background in one or more of the following is highly preferred:
• Utility construction
• Electrical construction
• Transmission or distribution
• Substations
• Telecom or fiber infrastructure
• Directional boring/HDD
• Strong understanding of field construction operations
• Experience managing project schedules, costs, budgets and resources
• Ability to work effectively with field crews and leadership
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Someone who takes ownership, follows through and knows how to get a project across the finish line

Compensation

Up to $160,000 annually, depending on experience.

This is a direct-hire, long-term opportunity with an established Nebraska contractor offering significant projects, strong leadership and the opportunity to play an important role in continued growth.
