Take the lead on field coordination across active highway and civil infrastructure projects — drainage, guide rail/bridge rail, and concrete demolition — from mobilization through closeout
Manage and supervise field crews across multiple simultaneous job sites, ensuring crews are deployed effectively, work is progressing on schedule, and quality standards are being met
Serve as the primary point of accountability for day-to-day project execution: labor coordination, subcontractor oversight, safety compliance, and daily field decisions
Identify and close efficiency gaps in the field — this company knows where they want to improve and they're hiring someone with the judgment to help get them there
Maintain proactive communication with the office team on project status, cost performance, and schedule variances
Participate in pre-construction planning and, for candidates with estimating experience, support the estimating process for upcoming bids (projects ranging up to $4M)
Be willing and available for overnight travel as required by project location — work spans across New York State and into neighboring states along major DOT corridors

Demonstrated experience managing field crews on highway, civil, or heavy infrastructure projects — you know how to lead people, not just schedule them
Comfort navigating DOT-regulated project environments: documentation requirements, safety protocols, and public agency expectations are familiar territory
A superintendent's instincts paired with a project manager's discipline — someone who can be in the field and in front of a schedule at the same time
Experience in any combination of drainage/utility, bridge/guide rail, or concrete demolition is a genuine advantage; candidates from adjacent highway civil backgrounds will be considered
Estimating familiarity is a plus, not a dealbreaker — the right field leader who can grow into bid support is equally compelling to this client
Ability and willingness to travel overnight; projects are distributed across a wide geography and this role requires presence on the ground
Valid driver's license; clean driving record

Competitive salary, determined based on experience — our client has indicated flexibility and is committed to paying market rates for the right candidate
100% employer-paid medical insurance — this is a full premium coverage benefit, not a cost-share arrangement
Health Savings Account (HSA)
401(k) retirement plan
Profit-sharing program
Company vehicle provided as needed for the role
Direct access to senior leadership — this is a small, tightly run operation where your work is seen and your input matters
