ROLE OVERVIEW

The Thrasher Group is seeking a Senior Construction Manager to support a large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure project in Mason County, WV. Thrasher serves as the owner's technical and quality representative on this project, observing, verifying, and documenting the contractor's work for conformance with the project plans and specifications. Thrasher does not direct the contractor's means and methods.

This is a senior field position reporting to the lead Construction Manager. The successful candidate will serve as Thrasher's principal on-site representative during the lead's absences, including nights and weekends as the project transitions to around-the-clock operations. This role demands independent judgment, extensive heavy civil and utility construction experience, and the ability to represent the owner's interests on a large, fast-moving site.

• Monitor and document earthwork, utility, and site development activities for conformance with plans and specifications
• Act as Thrasher's primary point of contact for the owner and general contractor when the lead Construction Manager is unavailable
• Review and manage daily field reports, track reported production and earthwork volumes, and document SWPPP and quality compliance
• Identify and elevate nonconformance, discrepancies, and schedule risks early

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• 10+ years in heavy civil and/or utility construction, with senior field experience
• Deep working knowledge of earthwork, underground utilities, and site development
• Ability to read plans and specifications and recognize when work is not tracking to them
• Comfortable serving as the senior owner's representative on a large site independently
• Willingness to work a rotating/extended schedule as the project scales to 24-7 operations
• PE, CCM, PMP or relevant certifications a plus, not required

BENEFITS

• We offer a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance; flexible spending and dependent care accounts; a Health Savings Account with company contributions; company-paid short- and long-term disability; and a $100,000 life insurance policy paid for by the company.
• We also offer supplemental life, dental, and vision insurance, along with accident, hospital indemnity, and critical illness coverage for added peace of mind.
• We invest in our employees' futures through a traditional and Roth 401(k) with up to a 4% company match, profit sharing, and discretionary bonuses.
• Employees enjoy paid time off, paid parental leave, and support for continuing education and professional registrations, plus assistance with warehouse club memberships, gym fees, and race entry fees.
• We recognize the importance of work-life balance and offer schedule flexibility within a family-oriented culture, including Flex Fridays — a chance for employees to wrap up early once their week's work is done.
