Founded in 2024 by Landon Herndon and Tre Palmer, Kingsman specializes in underground utilities, earthwork, and site development across residential, commercial, and municipal projects. The company has grown rapidly from approximately $6M in revenue last year to a projected $16M this year.

Kingsman was founded with a mission to glorify God through the way the company serves its employees, customers, and community.

ROLE

Kingsman Development is seeking a Senior Project Manager to join its team in Scottsdale, Arizona. This leader will take full ownership of project management across multiple active civil construction projects while helping Kingsman build the structure, systems, and accountability necessary for its next stage of growth. The ideal candidate is an experienced, hands-on project leader who can immediately execute at the Senior PM level while possessing the leadership capacity to quickly grow into a Director of Operations role. This is an opportunity for someone who has learned how a strong civil construction operation should run and is excited to bring that experience into a smaller, entrepreneurial environment where they can make a meaningful impact. Kingsman is not looking for someone who needs layers of support beneath them; they are looking for a “doer” who can personally execute, identify opportunities for improvement, and help build the operating structure around them. The role will initially focus heavily on project management, with the opportunity to take on broader operational leadership as trust is established and the business continues to grow.
