Senior Project Manager

At River City Construction, our Senior Project Managers lead complex construction projects from preconstruction through closeout, ensuring delivery is on time, within budget, and executed to the highest standards of quality, safety, and client satisfaction. This position plays a key leadership role across the company and supports not only project delivery, but the development of people, processes, and future opportunities.

Senior Project Managers are expected to maintain a clear big picture understanding of their projects while proactively managing priorities, solving problems, and driving successful outcomes. They lead cross-functional teams that may include superintendents, foremen, project managers, engineers, safety staff, quality control managers, procurement, and other project personnel. This role also contributes to companywide initiatives by mentoring emerging talent and supporting pursuit efforts to build and maintain strong client relationships.

We offer a flexible work environment that supports meeting team members where they are at in both work and life, while keeping project needs and deadlines top of mind. Flexibility may vary depending on specific project requirements. While a hybrid work arrangement may be available for this role, additional on-site presence may be required during key phases of the project or when leading new teams and onboarding team members to ensure alignment and collaboration.
