Assistant Project Manager, Heavy Civil / Highway

Richmond, VA area · Onsite · $110,000 to $145,000 · Direct hire

Build your career with a heavy civil contractor that has been building Virginia's infrastructure for over 50 years. The company is family-owned and self-performs heavy civil, heavy highway, site development and utility work for federal, state, municipal and private customers, in Virginia and North Carolina. Its Richmond-area backlog is growing, and it develops project managers rather than renting them.

You would be paired with a Senior Project Manager on active heavy civil and highway projects and handed real responsibility from day one. This is not a "watch and learn" seat. As you prove out, you take on owner and inspector contact, schedule updates and change management, with a defined runway to running your own projects on a team where the PMs came up the same path.

What you would do

Drive submittals, RFIs and procurement schedules so field crews stay ahead of the work
Coordinate subcontractors and supplier purchase orders to protect schedule commitments
Track quantities, production and costs against budget, and flag variances early
Support monthly payment requisitions, cost projections and project documentation
Join weekly project team meetings on schedule and cost, and learn how profitable projects are actually run
Support a safety culture that is lived at every level of the project

What you need

2 to 5 years on heavy civil, highway or utility projects, as a field engineer, project engineer or current assistant PM
Working knowledge of construction scheduling and cost tracking
B.S. in Civil Engineering or Construction Management, and/or equivalent field experience
Based in, or willing to relocate to, the Richmond area
Valid driver's license and a good driving record. Travel is mostly local

A plus

HeavyJob, Bluebeam or Primavera P6 exposure
VDOT project experience
