Civil Project Manager

KCC is seeking a Project Manager to lead complex heavy civil and environmental infrastructure projects from award through close-out. Our work includes transportation, marine and port facilities, rail and transit, environmental remediation, utilities, dams and flood control, and large-scale site/civil projects across public and private sectors.

This role is for professionals who have real project ownership experience in heavy civil construction—managing scope, schedule, cost, contracts, and field execution. It is not a coordination role.

Candidates without direct heavy civil project management experience will not be considered.

Position Overview

The Project Manager is responsible for full execution of assigned projects, ensuring they are delivered on schedule, within budget, and in compliance with contract requirements. This role requires strong coordination with field operations and the ability to manage both technical and financial aspects of complex infrastructure work.

Core Responsibilities

Lead heavy civil and environmental projects from preconstruction through final close-out with full accountability for performance and results

Develop, maintain, and actively manage project schedules, working closely with Superintendents to align sequencing, manpower, equipment, and subcontractors with the critical path

Control project financials including cost coding, quantity tracking, forecasting, WIP reporting, change management, and margin protection

Manage owner and subcontractor contracts, including RFIs, submittals, change orders, notices, and documentation required to protect the company and manage risk

Maintain consistent coordination with field teams to monitor productivity, safety, quality, and compliance with plans and specifications

Act as the primary point of contact with owners, engineers, inspectors, and stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and timely issue resolution

Lead and coordinate Project Engineers, Assistant PMs, Superintendents, and subcontractors with clear expectations and accountability

Drive project close-out including punch lists, testing and commissioning, as-builts, O&M manuals, and final billing

Required Experience (Must Meet)

Minimum 10 years of experience as a Project Manager or Assistant Project Manager on heavy civil infrastructure projects

Experience managing projects involving major scopes such as earthwork, utilities, structural concrete, transportation infrastructure, marine work, or environmental remediation

Proven ability to manage project schedules and control costs on multi-scope, high-value civil projects with both self-perform and subcontracted work

Experience working on public-sector or infrastructure projects with strict documentation and compliance requirements

Strong working relationship with Superintendents and field leadership on planning, means and methods, sequencing, and productivity

Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining control of project performance

Clear and professional communication with internal teams, clients, and regulatory stakeholders

Applicant Guidance

This position is for experienced heavy civil project managers who are capable of leading complex infrastructure projects and taking full ownership of results.

Candidates whose background is primarily residential construction, tenant fit-out, small commercial work, or unrelated industries are not aligned with this role and are discouraged from applying.

KCC is looking for individuals who can step in, take control of a project, lead teams effectively, and deliver.
