An established heavy civil contractor with a long track record on FDOT work is hiring a Project Manager in Naples. This is a strong opportunity for a Project Manager, or a Senior Project Engineer or APM ready for the full seat, who wants to run highway and bridge work for a stable employer with steady work in Southwest Florida. You'll own your projects from start to closeout on cost, schedule, subcontracts and the owner relationship, much of it FDOT work. SW Florida locals are great, and candidates ready to relocate are welcome.

• Lead the project team of engineers, APMs and field superintendents
• Buy out the job and manage subcontracts, purchase orders and suppliers
• Run monthly pay estimates, change orders and claims with FDOT and the CEI
• Manage submittals, RFIs and project documentation through closeout
• Plan the work with the superintendents and hold the schedule
• Keep permits, licenses and contract requirements current
• Drive safety and quality on every job
• Report progress and risk to the owner and senior leadership

• FDOT project experience
• Four year degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or Construction Science
• Strong on budgets, forecasts, pay estimates and change orders
• Clear communicator with owners, inspectors and the field
• Bridge experience is a plus
• Primavera P6 or HCSS is a plus
• Based in SW Florida or ready to relocate to Naples

Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation

• Full time role with an established heavy civil builder, not a one project hire
• Full benefits package
• Steady FDOT highway and bridge work in Southwest Florida
• Room to grow with a contractor that has a long track record in Florida
• Heavy civil work on the kind of projects that build a career.
