At Boldt, we build more than complex projects—we build strong relationships, great teams, and lasting impact.

Boldt is hiring a Traveling Senior Project Manager to lead $50M+ power-generation construction projects across the U.S. with full accountability for outcomes—delivering safe execution, schedule certainty, quality, and predictable financial performance from preconstruction through commissioning, turnover, and closeout.

This role is hands‑on and execution‑focused, with direct ownership of self‑perform work in a union environment (labor planning, means‑and‑methods, equipment management, productivity, and field problem‑solving) while driving project controls and delivery. This role is also responsible for budget forecasting and earned value management; critical path scheduling; engineering and stakeholder interfaces; code and pressure‑piping compliance; subcontractor and supplier performance; and building a high‑performing team that makes and meets commitments.

Our culture blends accountability with support—where learning, mentorship, and collaboration power results. You won’t just contribute to projects that matter; you’ll grow alongside people who are invested in your success.

What You Bring

• A hands‑on leadership style that earns respect in the field and creates alignment across craft, partners, and clients

• Advanced scheduling knowledge, including critical path management and Primavera P6
• Experience coordinating engineers, owners, subcontractors, and suppliers with transparency and trust
