Job description

Senior Project Manager, Structural Steel

We build cool sh*t, coast to coast. You'll own the hardest of it.

Rebellion Fabrication is a structural and architectural steel fabricator and one of the region's fastest-growing shops. We build big things for demanding clients, and we've grown by hiring great people and holding a high bar.

We run on EOS, and we have three core values that show up in real conversations, not on a wall: Excellence, precision directed at the right target. Thrive or Die, own your seat, rise above, keep forward momentum. Teamwork, humble, teachable, respectful.

We have also committed to becoming an ESOP. The people building this company will have the opportunity to own it, which shapes how we hire, develop, support, and hold our people accountable.

The role

Read this one only if you've already proven you can run a job. We need someone who's carried hard jobs and is looking for more room, not more title.

You own the hardest work we take: the most scope ambiguity, the tightest erection windows, and the clients who make you earn it. And you raise the floor for everyone else.

What you'll own

Everything a Project Manager here owns, on our most complex work: schedule, budget, sub-fab, client, closeout, margin. Plus:

• Developing PMs: You set the bar. You're who a PM comes to before they come to the Director. You review their work and you're honest about it.
• Bridging pre-con and operations: You understand how the job was sold, and you catch the bid assumption that won't survive the shop, before it costs us.
• Commercial accountability: You push back on a sub's number, a vendor's schedule, or a GC's position without escalating and without burning the relationship.
• Parallel tracks: Detailing, fabrication, delivery, and erection running at once. You hold all four and see where they collide.

Who thrives here

• Everything in the Project Manager profile, proven.
• Years of owned margin performance you can walk us through job by job.
• Experience developing other PMs, formally or not.
• Fluency across GC superintendents, structural engineers, and design teams.
• You've run OAC meetings that were prepared, on point, and action-oriented.
• You know which problems need a decision now and which need more information.

Why Rebellion

You've probably got options at bigger names. Here's what they don't offer: your decisions actually land, and you'll see the shop floor that builds what you managed.

Practical details

• This hybrid position is based in Elkhorn, with a Monday–Friday schedule and frequent travel to Wahoo.
• Reports to the Director of Project Management.
• Compensation depending on experience.
• Benefits and participation in the ESOP as it is established.

Rebellion Fabrication is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
