Construction Manager

Role: Construction Manager – Asphalt Paving

Market: Fairfax, VA

Sector: Heavy Highway, Urban Infrastructure & Vertically Integrated Asphalt Paving

Representation: Fabr Global Executive Search

The Company

We are representing one of the Mid-Atlantic’s largest privately held, self-performing heavy civil contractor and vertically integrated construction materials producer. With over eight decades of family-founded heritage and a multi-billion-dollar backlog, this organization dominates regional infrastructure by controlling its own supply chain, operating an expansive network of captive aggregate quarries and high-capacity hot-mix asphalt plants across Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania.

The Role

Northern Virginia is one of the toughest, fastest-moving paving markets on the East Coast. Based out of Fairfax, you will run multiple high-production asphalt paving, milling, and roadway rehabilitation crews across the NOVA corridor.

Because the company owns the quarries and asphalt plants feeding your jobs, you aren't waiting on third-party suppliers. Your job is execution: syncing internal plant load-outs with tight urban haul windows, high-stakes interstate night shifts, complex MOT closures, and large commercial/data center site packages.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead field operations, and multiple milling and laydown crews across concurrent VDOT NOVA District, county, and private commercial contracts.
• Work daily with internal NOVA plant managers and dispatchers to beat traffic bottlenecks, keep trucks cycling, eliminate paver waiting times, and maximize tons-per-shift.
• Run high-profile interstate night shifts and tight lane closures—getting set up, getting the mat down, and reopening the road on time to avoid liquidated damages.
• Own the numbers across your jobs, including unit-price tracking, daily cost-per-ton metrics, monthly revenue forecasting, and labor/iron utilization.
• Hit VDOT mix specs (Superpave, SMA, THMACO), density targets, and smoothness bonuses while enforcing zero-incident safety across live-traffic work zones.
• Manage self-perform and subcontracted civil and structural scopes where required, including mass earthwork, grading, deep wet/dry utilities, stormwater, concrete pads, retaining walls, and substation foundations.

Package & Rewards

• Strong base salary plus a market leading annual bonus tied directly to regional paving profitability, safety, and tonnage.
• Company truck (or allowance) and fuel card, full health/dental/vision, 401(k) with a strong company match, and full relocation into NOVA.
