An established heavy civil contractor with a long track record on FDOT work is hiring a Project Manager in Naples. This is a strong opportunity for a Project Manager, or a Senior Project Engineer or APM ready for the full seat, who wants to run highway and bridge work for a stable employer with steady work in Southwest Florida. You'll own your projects from start to closeout on cost, schedule, subcontracts and the owner relationship, much of it FDOT work. SW Florida locals are great, and candidates ready to relocate are welcome.

Lead the project team of engineers, APMs and field superintendents
Buy out the job and manage subcontracts, purchase orders and suppliers
Run monthly pay estimates, change orders and claims with FDOT and the CEI

Plan the work with the superintendents and hold the schedule
Keep permits, licenses and contract requirements current
Drive safety and quality on every job
Report progress and risk to the owner and senior leadership

What We're Looking For

7+ years on heavy civil highway, bridge or DOT projects, with time as a Project Manager or a senior APM running the job
FDOT project experience
Four year degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management or Construction Science
Strong on budgets, forecasts, pay estimates and change orders
Clear communicator with owners, inspectors and the field
Bridge experience is a plus
Primavera P6 or HCSS is a plus
Based in SW Florida or ready to relocate to Naples

Why This Role Is Worth a Conversation

Full time role with an established heavy civil builder, not a one project hire
Full benefits package
Steady FDOT highway and bridge work in Southwest Florida
Room to grow with a contractor that has a long track record in Florida
Heavy civil work on the kind of projects that build a career.
