Davey Resource Group, Inc. is seeking an experienced Utility Construction Project Manager with a strong background in electric utility or telecommunications construction. This role is boots-on-the-ground—ideal for someone who thrives in the field, leading crews and ensuring projects stay on track, safe, and client-ready. This is not a desk job. You’ll travel extensively (up to 100%) to project sites, working closely with field personnel—linemen, flaggers, foremen, and subcontractors—while maintaining direct communication with project leaders and clients. You'll be just as comfortable reviewing budgets and project forecasts as you are troubleshooting issues in the field.
The Utility Construction Project Manager supports successful execution of small to medium-sized client projects, working under the direction of an Account Manager. This mid-level leadership position is responsible for overseeing all aspects of project delivery, including planning, budgeting, scheduling, resourcing, and ensuring work meets client specifications with a strong emphasis on safety and quality. The Project Manager will serve as a critical liaison between clients and internal field teams, maintaining accountability for both performance outcomes and team leadership. Strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a dynamic environment.
