We're hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead a high-impact transportation infrastructure project along a major state route in the South Puget Sound region. This role is built for someone who knows how to run complex work in active corridors: You'll take full ownership of scope, schedule, budget, and client relationships while leading project teams and coordinating with public agencies, utilities, and field operations.

• Partner closely with the Safety Manager to ensure safe execution in high-traffic conditions
• Lead weekly project and owner meetings with clear, direct communication
• Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, and internal teams
• Oversee and mentor Project Engineers and support staff
• Ensure quality control and compliance with contract documents and specifications

Experience & Background

• 10–15 years of construction experience
• Proven experience managing infrastructure, transportation, or DOT-related projects
• Background with an electrical contractor (EC) or industrial electrical scope preferred
• Experience working in or alongside active roadways, utilities, or public works projects is a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management or related field (experience can substitute)

Skills & Attributes

• Proven ability to manage financial performance, schedules, and client relationships
• Confident decision-maker who communicates clearly with field teams and leadership
• Ability to navigate complexity, shifting priorities, and stakeholder demands
• Strong leadership presence with a focus on accountability and results
