Job description

Overview

Join a leading construction firm as a Project Manager specializing in asphalt paving, water and storm utility systems, and site grading for large-scale commercial, public, and private projects. This role involves comprehensive oversight of planning, scheduling, and hands-on management, with full accountability for the Profit & Loss (P&L) of assigned projects. Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to high-quality standards in a collaborative, team-oriented environment.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

• Stakeholder Coordination: Build and maintain relationships with clients, estimators, superintendents, and regulatory entities to align project goals, particularly for asphalt paving, water/storm utilities, and grading.

• Project Oversight: Direct on-site supervisors to monitor and control construction progress, ensuring proper execution of asphalt paving, utility installations (water and storm), and grading activities to meet schedule and budget targets.

• Site Preparation and Grading: Oversee site preparation, including clearing, excavation, and grading (rough and fine) to create stable, well-drained subgrades for asphalt paving. Ensure proper slopes and drainage systems to prevent water accumulation, reducing risks of cracks and potholes.

• Utility Management: Manage the installation and integration of water and storm drainage systems, ensuring compliance with design specifications and coordination with grading to support effective stormwater management.

• Asphalt Paving Execution: Supervise asphalt paving processes, including subgrade compaction, asphalt application, and quality control, ensuring durability and compliance with stormwater management standards (e.g., permeable pavement where applicable).

• Problem Resolution: Investigate and resolve time and material issues related to paving, utilities, or grading, implementing proactive corrective measures to avoid delays or cost overruns.

• Financial Analysis: Analyze project profitability, revenue, margins, bill rates, and utilization; make decisions based on revenue models, P&L, and cost-to-completion projections.

• Resource Planning: Determine labor and equipment needs for paving, utility work, and grading; contribute to cost, quality, and delivery performance metrics.

• Project Coordination: Assign tasks, schedule meetings with operations teams and clients, and maintain clear communication with foremen, superintendents, and stakeholders to ensure seamless project execution.

• Additional Responsibilities: Take on other tasks as needed to support project success.

Education & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Business, or a related field. Relevant experience in asphalt paving, utilities, or grading may substitute for a degree.

• Experience:

  • 5–7 years as a Project Manager in commercial, private, or public construction, with specific expertise in asphalt paving, water/storm utility installation, and site grading.

  • Proven skills in scheduling, budget management, change orders/billing, and resolving complex issues related to paving, drainage, and grading.

• Skills:

  • Strong business acumen, analytical leadership, and communication skills (written and verbal).

  • Proficiency in Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, Primavera P6 document control, and cost estimating.

  • Knowledge of grading techniques (e.g., rough and fine grading, compaction) and stormwater management practices (e.g., permeable pavement, drainage systems).

  • Ability to multitask, balancing detailed technical oversight with strategic project management.

Work Environment

• Location: Based in northern Baltimore, MD, with project sites within a one-hour radius.

• Physical Demands: Involves strenuous walking, wearing personal protective equipment, and working in varied outdoor conditions (e.g., hot/cold temperatures, active job sites with paving and grading activities).

• Team Culture: Join a collaborative, team-oriented environment that values employee growth, wellness, and high-quality craftsmanship. Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision) are offered.
