Project Manager

🏗️ PROJECT MANAGER — Heavy Industrial & Federal Infrastructure

📍 Lafayette, CO (Hybrid)

💼 Direct Hire | $120K Base $10K–$20K Bonus Company Vehicle

Our teams build the infrastructure that keeps water flowing, floods at bay, and cities standing — dams, waterways, locks, flood control systems, and large mechanical infrastructure. Growing fast: $27M in new contracts signed in the last six months. Join a team of tight-knit builders who show up with a championship mindset every day. If you have the competitive drive, ownership mentality, and the work ethic of a former athlete — keep reading.

💰 Compensation and Benefits:

• Base Salary: $120,000
• Annual Bonus: $10,000–$20,000 (performance-based — strong year last year and expect the same this year)
• Company Vehicle Allowance
• 401(k): 6% company match | Eligible at 6 months | Customizable savings options (including college savings plans)
• PTO: Flexible, take-as-you-need — no accrual caps, no strict limits
• 7 Company Holidays
• Growth: Clear path to Senior PM — leadership is invested in promoting from within

🏥 Health Insurance:

• PPO & HSA options
• 100% of employee premium covered by the company
• 80% coverage for dependents
• Eligible at 60 days
• Dental Vision: Included

📋 The Role:

You'll own your projects end-to-end — from estimating and award through procurement, field execution, and closeout. No hand-holding. No micromanaging. Full ownership.

• Manage ~3 projects simultaneously
• Project size: $3M–$5M average, up to $10M
• Project duration: 12–18 months average
• Work alongside 5 experienced superintendents (typically 1–2 per project)
• Collaborative team of 3 PMs — individually accountable, collectively invested
• ~50-hour weeks with flexibility on when and how you get it done
• Software: Microsoft Excel | HeavyBid | P6 Scheduling | RMS

✅ Must-Haves:

• 1–2 years of experience as a Project Manager in construction
• 3 years on federal, horizontal, industrial, or heavy civil projects
• Full project lifecycle experience: estimating → award → procurement → field execution → closeout
• Deep understanding of heavy infrastructure work (dams, waterways, locks, flood control, large mechanical systems)
• Stable, consistent tenure — longevity in roles is a major factor for us
• Residential and commercial backgrounds are not a fit for this role.

🏅 The Mindset:

This team is loaded with former athletes — and we hire for that DNA. Competitive drive, coachability, attention to detail, ownership, and a team-first mentality. We win together. A strict 9-to-5 mindset won't thrive here. But if you treat every project like a championship season and take personal pride in the outcome — you'll feel right at home.
