Virginia — Central to Western VA · Direct Hire ·$140K–$180K Base + Bonus · Full Benefits + Relocation
Build the projects that put you on the map.
A confidential, well-established self-perform heavy civil contractor is growing across Virginia — and they’re hiring a Project Manager to run real roadway, highway, and bridge work, not babysit paperwork. The backlog is already won, the projects are challenging, and the seat comes with real project ownership.
You’ll lead heavy highway, road, and bridge projects from planning through closeout — working alongside field leadership, project engineers, owners, agencies, subcontractors, and vendors. This is a builder’s company: dirt, grading, utilities, bridges, storm drain, water and sewer, erosion control, and DOT roadway work, all self-performed. You report straight to senior leadership. No layers, no red tape — just a strong team that delivers and wants another strong PM to grow with them.
The Project Manager owns the job from plan through closeout and is the person accountable for it being on time, on budget, and built right.
• Manage heavy highway, road, bridge, and civil infrastructure projects from plan through closeout
• Own schedule, budget, cost control, forecasting, change orders, documentation, and closeout
• Protect projected margins — submit accurate, timely cost and income projections and act on variances
• Serve as the main project contact for owners, agencies, subcontractors, and vendors
• Lead field supervision and project engineering teams; set clear roles and responsibilities
• Identify project risks early and drive solutions before they become bigger issues
• Protect the company’s position on contract changes, claims, documentation, and owner communication
• Own quality control — review designs against engineering principles, company standards, and contract requirements
• Maintain a strong safety, quality, and production culture across the project (Incident & Injury Free)
• Issue subcontracts and purchase orders and manage subcontractor performance
• Run weekly project meetings (schedule and cost review); track and report project performance accurately to leadership
• Submit accurate and timely payment requisitions, and know when to elevate and communicate up
• Real authority — you carry the budget, schedule, and margin on your projects
• A long-term backlog of challenging roadway, highway, and bridge work, already funded
• A self-perform team that takes pride in building it right
• Competitive base + bonus opportunity
• Relocation support for the right person
• A clear career path for someone who wants to lead meaningful infrastructure work
•5–10+ years managing heavy/highway, road, or bridge civil construction projects
• Track record running medium-to-large heavy civil projects as a PM (this is not an entry-level seat)
• Strong DOT / VDOT, roadway, bridge, grading, drainage, paving, or utility background
• Strong cost control, schedule, contract, and change-order experience
• Ability to manage owners, agencies, subcontractors, vendors, and internal teams
• Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred
• OSHA 30 preferred
• HeavyJob, Bluebeam, and Primavera P6 experience a plus
• Valid driver’s license and a good driving record
•$140,000 – $180,000 base, depending on experience, plus bonus opportunity
• Full medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
•401(k) with company match
• Company-paid short-term and long-term disability
• FSA program
• Paid time off — 120 hours in year one, plus 8 paid holidays and a floating personal day
• Relocation considered for the right candidate
• Travel is primarily local during business hours; some out-of-area or overnight travel expected
• Active heavy-civil field environment
• All inquiries handled confidentially
