Role Overview
An established Massachusetts construction firm is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to oversee complex civil and public infrastructure projects from preconstruction through final closeout.

The company delivers a diverse mix of technically challenging work, including water and wastewater infrastructure, site development, utilities, public facilities, and community improvement projects. It has a strong regional reputation, a stable pipeline of work, and a collaborative culture where experienced project leaders are trusted to take real ownership.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who can successfully manage multiple projects while maintaining control of financial performance, schedule, procurement, documentation, field coordination, and client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage multiple construction projects from preconstruction planning through turnover and closeout
• Develop and maintain project budgets, schedules, forecasts, and schedules of values
• Take ownership of project financial performance, including cost reporting, billing, and profitability
• Manage subcontractor and vendor procurement, scope review, negotiations, contracts, and purchase orders
• Coordinate closely with Superintendents to plan staffing, equipment, materials, and project sequencing
• Oversee RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement logs, and other project controls
• Review plans, specifications, contracts, and scopes to identify potential risks and opportunities
• Monitor project progress regularly and address schedule or cost concerns before they escalate
• Maintain productive relationships with clients, engineers, architects, inspectors, public officials, subcontractors, and vendors
• Lead preconstruction meetings, project reviews, and closeout activities
• Support estimating and constructability reviews during the pursuit and planning stages
• Mentor Project Managers, Assistant Project Managers, and Project Engineers
• Ensure projects meet expectations for safety, quality, schedule, financial performance, and client satisfaction

What They're Looking For

• 10 years of construction project management experience
• Proven success managing large or technically complex construction projects
• Experience with civil infrastructure, water/wastewater, utilities, sitework, public construction, or comparable project types is highly valued
• Strong knowledge of project budgets, schedules, contracts, procurement, change orders, and cost controls
• Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and technical documents
• Experience working closely with field leadership and understanding how projects are built
• Strong leadership, negotiation, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities without losing attention to detail
• Experience with construction management and scheduling software
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field is preferred, although equivalent experience will be considered

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Opportunity to take ownership of meaningful projects that directly benefit local communities
• Diverse portfolio of civil, infrastructure, water/wastewater, and public-sector construction
• Established contractor with a long history and strong regional reputation
• Direct access to company leadership and the ability to influence project decisions
• Collaborative culture that rewards strong performance and practical problem-solving
• Excellent benefits, retirement contributions, bonus potential, and vehicle support
• Opportunity to mentor junior team members and help strengthen project management operations
• Long-term advancement potential within a stable and growing organization
