  • Coordinate with internal engineering, detailing, fabrication, and field erection teams to ensure smooth workflow.
  • Review drawings and specifications to verify contract compliance.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, general contractors, and subcontractors.
  • Monitor project performance and proactively address issues related to safety, schedule, or cost.
  • Conduct regular site visits to ensure safety, progress, and quality standards are met.
  • Maintain accurate documentation including reports, meeting minutes, and correspondence.
  • Ensure compliance with OSHA regulations and company safety policies.
  • Manage project closeout activities, including punch lists, billing, and client satisfaction follow-ups.

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field (equivalent experience considered).
  • 5+ years of project management experience in structural steel or related construction fields.
  • Strong understanding of steel detailing, fabrication, and erection processes.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Procore, MS Project, and Bluebeam.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to read and interpret structural and architectural drawings.
  • OSHA 30 certification preferred.
  • Willingness to travel to project sites as needed.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Competitive base salary: $90,000–$125,000 (commensurate with experience)
  • Performance and completion-based bonus opportunities
  • Comprehensive benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k) with 5% company match
  • A strong company culture built on integrity, safety, and teamwork
