Build the Infrastructure That Powers the Future

Gregory Construction is seeking an experienced Heavy Civil Project Manager to support our growing operations in El Paso, Texas and the surrounding region.

Candidates located in or near El Paso are strongly preferred, as this provides the most practical location for supporting our active and upcoming projects while reducing unnecessary travel for the Project Manager.

This role is ideal for a construction professional with hands‑on project management experience in underground utilities, earthwork, concrete, and site development who is comfortable leading complex civil projects from preconstruction through closeout.

Our work includes large-scale, mission‑critical projects such as data centers and major infrastructure developments. We're looking for a Project Manager who understands how to manage the schedule, costs, contracts, people, and client relationships necessary to deliver these projects successfully.

What You'll Do

As a Project Manager, you'll take ownership of heavy civil projects from planning through completion, working closely with field leadership, clients, subcontractors, vendors, and internal teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Manage heavy civil construction projects from preconstruction through closeout.
• Oversee underground utility scopes including water, sewer, storm drainage, and duct banks.
• Manage earthwork, concrete, site development, and civil infrastructure scopes.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, cost forecasts, and risk management plans.
• Track project performance and proactively address schedule, cost, manpower, and constructability issues.
• Manage contracts, subcontractors, change orders, billing, cost reporting, and project documentation.
• Coordinate closely with Superintendents and field teams to keep projects moving safely and efficiently.
• Lead project meetings and provide clear updates to clients and company leadership.
• Coordinate with engineers, owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and vendors.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication and follow-through.
• Maintain project quality while promoting a safety-first culture.
• Mentor Project Engineers and help develop members of the project team.
• Take ownership of project challenges and drive issues toward resolution.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of Project Management experience in heavy civil construction.
• Direct experience managing one or more of the following:
  • Underground utilities
  • Earthwork
  • Concrete construction
  • Civil infrastructure
  • Site development
• Experience managing construction projects ranging from approximately $500K to $30M.
• Strong understanding of project scheduling, budgeting, forecasting, cost control, change management, and contract administration.
• Experience with construction management and scheduling software such as Procore, Microsoft Project, or Primavera P6.
• Strong leadership, communication, organization, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively with both field and office teams.
• Ability and willingness to travel to active project sites as required.
• Strong sense of accountability and ability to take ownership of project results.

Preferred Qualifications

• Currently located in El Paso, Texas or within reasonable commuting distance.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent heavy civil field experience.
• Experience managing underground utility projects.
• Experience with large-scale civil infrastructure or mission‑critical/data center construction.
• Heavy civil construction experience in Texas, New Mexico, or the surrounding region.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

We're looking for a Project Manager who understands both the business and field sides of heavy civil construction.

You should be comfortable reviewing costs and forecasts one minute and working through a field issue with a Superintendent the next. You'll need to anticipate problems, communicate clearly, make decisions, and keep multiple moving pieces aligned.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who takes ownership. When challenges arise, you work with your team, develop a plan, and drive the project forward.
