Senior Project Manager
Are you an experienced Project Manager who thrives on managing complex geotechnical construction projects from the ground up? Our client - a respected design‑build geotechnical contractor - is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the construction delivery of deep foundation and ground improvement projects across the Tampa region.
This is an opportunity to join a growing, highly technical team that takes projects from initial design through to full execution, with a strong focus on safety, quality, and operational excellence.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead the construction phase of design‑build geotechnical projects, ensuring safe and efficient execution.
- Oversee daily project operations including scheduling, forecasting, procurement, subcontract coordination, and financial performance.
- Collaborate with in‑house engineering teams to ensure constructability, value engineering, and alignment between design and field execution.
- Manage project budgets, change orders, documentation, and progress reporting.
- Conduct regular site visits, monitor field activities, and ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.
- Build strong relationships with clients, general contractors, engineers, and internal teams.
- Mentor junior staff and play an active role in project and operational leadership.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of experience in geotechnical or heavy/civil construction, ideally in a design‑build environment.
- Strong expertise in deep foundations (e.g., drilled shafts, auger cast piles, micropiles, sheet piles) and/or ground improvement (e.g., grouting, vibro stone columns, soil mixing).
- Proven ability to manage large, multi‑scope construction projects from pre‑construction through closeout.
- Excellent communication, leadership, and client‑facing skills.
- Ability to lead field teams, drive schedules, and solve problems in fast‑moving environments.
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Geotechnical Engineering, or related field (preferred).
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a growing geotechnical contractor with a strong reputation in the Southeast.
- Work on technically challenging deep foundation and ground improvement projects.
- Leadership track opportunity - strong visibility, impact, and growth potential.
- Competitive compensation, performance bonuses, vehicle allowance, and full benefits.
- Collaborative culture with a focus on engineering‑driven solutions and quality execution.
