**Project Manager – Self-Perform Concrete Construction

Location: Sioux Falls, SD Region (1–2 hours of Sioux Falls preferred)**

A fast-growing, family-owned self-perform concrete contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to help lead major private-sector concrete projects across the Upper Midwest. This is a rare opportunity to join a company experiencing explosive but disciplined growth — expanding from small farm work to large-scale commercial, multifamily, industrial, and data center projects.

Their work is 99% private , typically in the $3–5M+ range, with signature projects running $15–20M per phase and long-term multi-phase opportunities already awarded.

• Family-owned, values-driven environment with hands-on ownership and a strong commitment to quality.

• True self-perform model — they perform nearly all concrete scopes in-house for tighter control over quality, schedule, and margin.

• Consistent 15–20% year-over-year growth backed by strong client relationships, repeat work, and multi-year backlog.

• Safety-focused with a sub-1.0 EMR.

• Integrating EOS to bring structure, accountability, and long-term strategic clarity.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager with strong leadership, financial acumen, and the ability to own projects from award through closeout. This is not a junior role — ideal candidates bring 5–10+ years of experience and the capability to run complex, fast-paced concrete work with confidence.

• Lead projects from preconstruction through turnover (budget, schedule, change management, client communication).

• Own project financials — margin, forecasting, and job cost accuracy.

• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and general project documentation.

• Work heavily in Bluebeam, Procore, Trimble/ProjectSight (experience preferred, not required).

• Partner with an outsourced estimating team — review take-offs and assemble final bid pricing.

• Maintain strong relationships with owners, GCs, developers, and vendors.

• Help represent the company early in project design phases (many key clients engage them 2–3 years before work releases).

• Act as a leader and culture carrier for field teams and project engineers.

Top-tier candidates will have:

• Self-perform concrete PM experience (slabs, foundations, tilt-up, walls, multistory, industrial, etc.).

• Background with reputable concrete contractors (example: mid to large SP concrete groups).

• Strong financial/budgeting understanding and ability to drive P&L outcomes.

• Ability to travel to jobs 1–2 days/week (not heavy, not full-time).

They will also consider candidates from:

• Commercial GCs

• Heavy civil contractors
  …who have strong PM fundamentals and some exposure to concrete work (even if not deep).
  If you meet ~80% of the requirements and want to live in the Sioux Falls area, you will be seriously considered.

Travel Expectations (Important & Realistic)

• Typical expectation: 1–2 days per week onsite for major projects.

• Often day trips , depending on your location (e.g., leave early morning, return same day).

• Long-term plan: project engineers will be onsite 4–5 days/week, reducing PM onsite visits to every couple of weeks .

• Projects fall within roughly an 8-hour radius across the I-29 corridor (ND, SD, MN, northern MO, IL).

This is not a heavy-travel, suitcase-every-week situation.

• Someone who wants to grow with the company as they scale from $50M to $80M and beyond.

• A PM who treats each project like their own business — with ownership thinking and margin protection.

• Someone who can bring structure, consistency, and high standards to the operation.

• A confident communicator who can represent the company well with owners and developers.

• Relocation to the Sioux Falls region is strongly preferred.

• Competitive salary aligned with experience (5–15 year PMs will be considered).

• Clear advancement track: Project Engineer → PM → Senior PM → Executive/Owner-level potential .

• Opportunity to help build a new Sioux Falls satellite office as the company expands its footprint.

• Career stability — multi-year backlog including major data center work with 10–15 phases anticipated.
