About The Position

Finding the right fit: Work doesn’t feel like work when you do what you love and enjoy the people you do it with. That’s been our experience anyway – and it could be yours too. We’re currently seeking a confident, motivated project manager to serve as a key contributor within our Transportation team and help us grow in the Mountain Region. You’ll have access to highly experienced roadway, structure, traffic, and construction engineering staff to assist you in driving quality transportation projects forward and ensuring their successful delivery to our valued clients. And, along the way, you’ll find support from fellow project managers within the company, as well as upper management, who are equally committed to these same priorities. Success will be defined by your ability to develop client relationships; identify, pursue, win and manage transportation-related projects; make hiring recommendations as we grow the group; and be instrumental in the career development of less experienced staff within the group. Become a part of a nationally recognized USA Today Top Workplace! Our commitment to working together and improving our lives rings true, and we are proud to grow our team with driven and valued individuals. Join us today and contribute to a culture of excellence and innovation.
