Senior Project Manager (DFW)

Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project. We’re a people-first company built on five values we call STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership. Our vision: Recognize a Need & Fulfill It. Lead the projects others can’t — with a team that has your back. Plenty of fabricators will hand you a project list. Patriot hands you real ownership: multiple parallel projects, vendors and subcontractors, change orders, client relationships — and the modern tools and people-first culture to deliver it all. If you’ve spent a decade in structural steel and you’re ready for a senior seat in DFW, let’s talk. Why Patriot — Not the Other Guys Dual AISC certification. Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — one accountable team from shop drawings to topped-out steel. Most shops can only claim half of that. People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship — benefits most fabricators don’t offer. Modern tools, not spreadsheets. Tekla Structures, Tekla EPM, Trimble Connect, and FabSuite — we invest in the stack so you run the work instead of chasing paperwork. Room to rise. Divisions across Texas — Central Texas HQ, DFW, Houston, San Antonio — plus leadership training, Udemy learning, and AISC membership for every Patriot employee.
