Job Description

Project Manager - Road, Civil or Vertical Construction

Location: Richmond, VA

Experience: 8–15+ years

Education: High School Diploma or equivalent (No degree required)

Overview

Our client is a highly respected, growth-oriented Richmond based company seeking an experienced Project Manager who brings strong field understanding, proven project leadership, and excellent written communication skills. This is not an entry-level or foreman-to-PM transition role. We’re looking for a true PM professional who has successfully managed complex construction projects from planning through closeout.

If you’re a high-tempo, detail-focused PM with strong sequencing ability and a drive for continuous improvement, this is a tenured team you’ll love working with.

What You’ll Do

• Manage all phases of projects to ensure schedules, budgets, safety, and quality standards are achieved.
• Review and track load tickets with exceptional attention to detail.
• Build and maintain accurate project schedules, effectively sequencing activities for efficiency.
• Coordinate seamlessly with clients, engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Prepare and review RFIs, change orders, subcontract agreements, daily reports, and closeout documentation.
• Lead project kickoff meetings, routine progress updates, and post-construction reviews.
• Oversee procurement and ensure timely delivery of materials, equipment, and supplies.
• Monitor field activities and proactively resolve conflicts, delays, and safety concerns.
• Maintain organized project records, track costs, and update forecasting tools.
• Identify ways to improve workflows and self-learn new systems, technologies, and processes as needed.
• Communicate clearly and professionally—strong writing skills are essential.

What You Bring

• Minimum 8 years of verifiable Project Management experience in roadway, bridge, site development, parking lot, or vertical construction.
• Exceptional written communication skills —professional email communication is a major component of this role.
• Strong sequencing and scheduling expertise; experience with construction-focused software tools.
• A self-driven, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to learn unfamiliar tools or concepts quickly.
• High school diploma or GED required; no college degree necessary.
• Demonstrated leadership, accountability, and the ability to make timely decisions.
• OSHA 30 or similar safety certification preferred.
• Professional references required.
