Heavy Civil Structures Project Manager

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a well-established, heavy civil contractor in Kansas City that is looking for a Senior Project Manager with bridge and structural work experience.

This is a true Senior PM role with full ownership of projects from preconstruction through execution. The team is collaborative, and highly respected in the market for delivering complex structural work.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Own budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and client relationships
  • Drive planning, means and methods, and overall execution strategy
  • Partner closely with field teams to ensure successful delivery
  • Be involved in preconstruction strategy, scope review, and buyout (not day-to-day takeoffs)
  • Maintain strong cost control and financial oversight throughout the life of the project

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Local stability – KC based, no future relocation or unrealistic travel requirements
  • Project ownership – PMs are hands-on and directly impact outcomes
  • Tight-knit team – less bureaucracy, more autonomy

What They’re Looking For

  • 5–10+ years of experience in heavy civil construction
  • Proven experience running projects as a PM or Senior PM
  • Background in bridge, structural, or complex civil work preferred
  • Strong understanding of cost control, scheduling, and field coordination
  • Ability to lead teams and manage client relationships

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary (based on experience)
  • Bonus potential
  • Vehicle or allowance
  • Strong benefits package

The Bottom Line

This is a strong fit for someone who:

  • enjoys running work
  • wants to stay in heavy civil / structures long-term
  • values stability
  • and is looking for a high-ownership PM role
