We are seeking an intermediate-level Construction Manager to support delivery of municipal water and wastewater projects. This position is intentionally targeted to experienced contractor-side professionals—such as Project Engineers, Assistant Project Managers, Project Managers, or early-career Superintendents—who are ready to broaden their responsibility and gain owner-side delivery experience.

- Coordinate contractors, inspectors, and internal technical teams
- Support construction sequencing, sitelogistics, and constructability planning
- Review RFIs, shop drawings, and field changes
- Monitor schedule, cost, quality, and safety performance
- Support progress reporting, issue tracking, and meeting coordination
- Assist with commissioning, turnover, and project closeout activities

This is a hands‑on, field‑engaged role with regular site presence. You will receive mentorship and technical support from senior construction managers and engineers.

Who This Role Is For

- Project Engineers, Assistant Project Managers, or Project Managers from contractor organizations
- Early‑career Superintendents or field‑focused construction leads
- Professionals with approximately 8–10 years of construction experience
- Individuals looking to step into broader construction leadership without contractor commercial risk
