Project Manager

Step Into a Leadership Role That Builds More Than Steel Imagine walking into a job where your voice matters, your skills are valued, and every project is a chance to leave your mark on something that will stand tall for decades. At High Plains Steel Services, we build more than structures. We build trust, excellence, and strong relationships with every weld, every beam, and every handshake. High Plains is looking for our next Project Manager to join our team. If you're the kind of project leader who takes pride in precision, keeps your promises, and gives a damn about the people you work with, this might be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Why You'll Love Working at High Plains We're proud of our work and how we do it. Our projects are high stakes, but so is our commitment to each other. Here's what makes High Plains a place where our Project Managers don't just work, they thrive: Give a Damn: We’re all in. We show up prepared, step up without being asked, and deliver quality every day. Built on Trust: From clients to teammates, we develop genuine relationships with clear communication and follow-through. Stand Behind the Work: We own it, fix it when needed, and ensure it lasts. Iron Sharpens Iron: We mentor, coach, and grow together because a stronger team means stronger results. At High Plains, your leadership sets the tone. We'll equip you with tools, systems, and support to do your best work, and expect you to help others do the same. What You Can Expect From Day One This isn't your average construction job. It's a role for someone who thrives on fast‑paced schedules, tight coordination, and hitting deadlines without sacrificing quality. You’ll run structural steel projects from kickoff to closeout. You’ll create detailed schedules that align shop, field, and client expectations. You’ll keep budgets tight, contracts clean, and communication clear. You’ll be the face of High Plains for our clients and subs, representing us with integrity and professionalism. You’ll reinforce our high‑quality standards daily in the field and behind the scenes. You’ll be a mentor and coach, developing our internal teams and raising the bar across departments. Who Shouldn't Apply We’re committed to excellence, which means this role isn’t for everyone. You won’t thrive here if: You wait for direction instead of taking initiative. You need constant handholding to solve problems. You’re uncomfortable making tough decisions or having candid conversations. You think “good enough” is ever good enough. You aren’t passionate about teamwork, mentoring others, or continuous improvement.
