About the role

  • Take the lead on field coordination across active highway and civil infrastructure projects — drainage, guide rail/bridge rail, and concrete demolition — from mobilization through closeout
  • Manage and supervise field crews across multiple simultaneous job sites, ensuring crews are deployed effectively, work is progressing on schedule, and quality standards are being met
  • Serve as the primary point of accountability for day-to-day project execution: labor coordination, subcontractor oversight, safety compliance, and daily field decisions
  • Identify and close efficiency gaps in the field — this company knows where they want to improve and they're hiring someone with the judgment to help get them there
  • Maintain proactive communication with the office team on project status, cost performance, and schedule variances
  • Participate in pre-construction planning and, for candidates with estimating experience, support the estimating process for upcoming bids (projects ranging up to $4M)
  • Be willing and available for overnight travel as required by project location — work spans across New York State and into neighboring states along major DOT corridors

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience managing field crews on highway, civil, or heavy infrastructure projects — you know how to lead people, not just schedule them
  • Comfort navigating DOT-regulated project environments: documentation requirements, safety protocols, and public agency expectations are familiar territory
  • A superintendent's instincts paired with a project manager's discipline — someone who can be in the field and in front of a schedule at the same time
  • Experience in any combination of drainage/utility, bridge/guide rail, or concrete demolition is a genuine advantage; candidates from adjacent highway civil backgrounds will be considered
  • Estimating familiarity is a plus, not a dealbreaker — the right field leader who can grow into bid support is equally compelling to this client
  • Ability and willingness to travel overnight; projects are distributed across a wide geography and this role requires presence on the ground
  • Valid driver's license; clean driving record
Benefits
  • Competitive salary, determined based on experience — our client has indicated flexibility and is committed to paying market rates for the right candidate
  • **100% employer-paid medical insurance** — this is a full premium coverage benefit, not a cost-share arrangement
  • Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • **Profit-sharing program**
  • Company vehicle provided as needed for the role
  • Direct access to senior leadership — this is a small, tightly run operation where your work is seen and your input matters
