About the Positions
We’re seeking Construction Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. You’ll oversee an assigned construction package or group of contracts from preconstruction through closeout, hold the work to the contract documents, and keep cost, schedule, quality, and safety visible so field issues get resolved before they turn into claims.
This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.

Note: We are seeking candidates of various skill levels, and the following responsibilities represent the core of these roles. Scope and complexity increase with experience level.
•
Oversee contractor performance across an assigned construction package or group of contracts from preconstruction through closeout, and hold the work to the plans, specifications, and contract requirements.
•
Administer the construction contract, including submittals, requests for information, notices, and correspondence, and keep the record complete enough to stand up under audit and claim review.
•
Evaluate change proposals and contractor pricing for entitlement, technical merit, cost impact, and schedule impact, and recommend a position the program can act on.
•
Review baseline and update schedules for critical path, logic, and sequencing, and quantify the effect of delays and changes on the contract completion date.
•
Coordinate the program’s inspection, materials testing, and quality assurance staff, and verify that installed work and submitted quantities match approved documents before payment.
•
Monitor contractor safety and environmental compliance against the contract, permit conditions, and applicable OSHA and agency requirements, and escalate non-conforming conditions to resolution.
•
Track cost, progress, and quantities against the approved budget and schedule, and forecast where the contract lands so the program can act while options are still open.
•
Chair progress meetings, site walks, and issue resolution sessions with the contractor, the designer of record, and third parties, and drive open items to documented closure.
•
Coordinate interfaces with utility owners, railroads, adjacent contracts, and airport or transit operations groups so construction phasing keeps facilities in service.
•
Document field conditions, directives, and determinations, and support the program’s response to notices of potential claim and dispute resolution.
•
Oversee closeout, including punch list resolution, record document and as-built turnover, warranty documentation, and support for commissioning and transition to operations and maintenance.
