GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

\n

The Sr. Project Manager is a senior level position reporting to the Project Executive, National Accounts. The role pairs disciplined estimating and multi-year capital planning with hands-on project management across a national portfolio.

\n

\n

The position owns the numbers and the plan. It is responsible for translating engineering assessments into rough order of magnitude estimates, opinions of probable cost, project phasing, and the schedule required to bring each structure to a safe baseline and maintain it over time. Where StructureCare has no local coworkers, this individual is directly responsible for the job sites, including monthly financials. Where local teams are in place, this individual is responsible for understanding the scopes, providing guidance, and driving quality outcomes, while territory leadership remains accountable for project results.

\n

\n

A defining feature of the role is field-validated estimating. The Senior Project Manager / Estimator brings the execution experience that converts engineering scope into a realistic, buildable, and accurately priced plan. This individual anticipates the conditions that drive cost variance, such as partial-depth repairs that become full-depth once sound concrete is reached, supplemental reinforcing, permitting, and the logistics of phased work in an operating structure.
