About The Position

Hanson Professional Services Inc. has the need for an Associate Project Manager in our Corpus Christi, Texas office. This position requires management of the full project life cycle to meet client and Hanson’s expectations in regards to scope, budget/financial performance, schedule, quality, communications, risk management and health and safety of project staff. The successful candidate will work directly or indirectly with clients and senior project managers. He or she will coordinate with Discipline Managers to staff each project and will subcontract as needed to fulfill project and client needs. We are looking for a charismatic, organized, detail-oriented and dedicated individual who will fit with our collaborative project-team culture. The job generally requires some overtime hours, especially around end-of-month accounting deadlines and when there are overlapping project schedules. An Associate Project Manager is responsible for the planning, organizing, directing, executing, and controlling/monitoring of the scope of services, budget, schedule, deliverables, and resources to accomplish the project objectives. An Associate Project Manager (APM) position precedes the Project Manager and Senior Project Manager positions at Hanson, and this position resides in the Infrastructure market, serving and supporting municipal, county and transportation clients in a broad range of project needs. APMs typically manage smaller, less complex projects and assist Project Managers and Senior Project Managers with larger, more complex projects.
