Job Description:

We’re partnered with a nationally recognized Heavy Civil General Contractor to identify an experienced Construction Manager or Senior Superintendent for a $250M+ heavy highway infrastructure project .

This is a major opportunity for an operations-driven leader who thrives in the field. The project includes multiple bridge structures and large-scale earthwork (3M+ CY) . It’s a long-duration build (2+ years) with direct runway to senior leadership — the current Ops Manager is set to retire within 1–2 years, opening a clear path for upward mobility.

What You’ll Do:

• Take full ownership of a landmark DOT project from kickoff to closeout
• Lead 60+ craft and subcontractor personnel across heavy bridge, roadway, and structural scopes
• Serve as the boots-on-the-ground leader, with hands-on responsibility for schedule, safety, and quality
• Collaborate directly with project leadership and owner reps
• Support field culture with accountability, efficiency, and mentorship

What We’re Looking For:

• 10–25+ years of experience in heavy civil infrastructure (bridges, highways, DOT, earthwork)
• Demonstrated success leading large teams and managing major public projects
• Strong working knowledge of self-perform operations and subcontractor oversight
• Field-first leadership style — proactive, practical, and solutions-oriented
• Background with contractors like Walsh Ames, Kiewit, Flatiron , Granite, Zachry or similar is a plus

Compensation & Benefits:

• Base salary: $170K–$200K , with potential to grow to $220K–$250K+
• 15–20% bonus structure , completion incentives, and long-term tenure rewards
• Truck + gas card, full health benefits, 401(k) with 6% match
• Relocation assistance available

Why This Role?

• Join a firm with $2B+ in active backlog and a national reputation for delivering complex infrastructure
• Direct path to District Ops or Executive Leadership
• Stability, autonomy, and a strong internal culture that promotes from within
