• Ensure projects are delivered on schedule, within budget, and to specification
• Manage subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers to ensure accountability and productivity
• Maintain detailed documentation including daily reports, cost codes, as-builts, and project records
• Work closely with project managers, engineers, and inspectors to ensure smooth communication and project alignment
• Mentor and develop field staff, promoting a culture of teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Drive field execution with confidence, energy, and commitment to excellence

• Proven track record of leading multiple crews on active infrastructure projects
• Strong understanding of earthwork, asphalt paving, utilities, concrete, and grading operations
• Ability to interpret civil plans, specifications, and contracts with technical accuracy
