Project Manager – Transportation (Roads)

Location : Various IA Cities

We’re looking for a Project Manager who loves all things roads and infrastructure — the kind of person who can keep projects (and people!) moving in the right direction. You’ll lead transportation projects from concept to completion, mentor awesome field teams, and build strong partnerships that make a difference in the communities we serve.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Real Impact : Help design and deliver projects that improve how people move, connect, and live.
  • Team Vibes : Join a crew that collaborates, celebrates wins, and supports your growth every step of the way.
  • Ownership Rocks : As an employee-owned company, your hard work doesn’t just make an impact — it earns you a stake in our shared success.
  • Never Boring : From highways to local road improvements, every day brings new challenges and opportunities to shine.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead and manage transportation and road construction projects with confidence and creativity.
  • Be the go-to communicator between clients, contractors, and your project team.
  • Guide and mentor field staff — because great leadership builds great teams.
  • Bring your eye for detail to budgets, schedules, and quality checks to keep everything on track.
  • Help grow our client relationships and shape new opportunities for future projects.
  • Oversee (or jump in on) construction layout and survey work when needed.
  • Wrap up projects like a pro — organized, efficient, and on time.

    • What You Bring to the Table

  • A bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, construction management, or something similar (bonus points if you’re licensed).
  • Around 6+ years of experience in transportation or infrastructure work — you know your way around construction services and survey tools.
  • A knack for building trust, solving problems, and leading with empathy.
  • Strong tech skills — you’re comfortable with GIS, CADD, and field testing equipment.
  • The ability to juggle multiple projects without losing your cool (or your sense of humor).
  • You’re authorized to work in the U.S. — no visa sponsorship available.

    • Pay & Perks

  • Salary : $80 -140k, depending on your experience and qualifications.
  • Great Benefits :
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 100% paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (you’re an owner, too!)
  • 401(k) with immediate company match
  • Paid parental leave and generous PTO (at least 17 days your first year + holidays!)
  • Annual bonus opportunities
  • Career Growth : Ongoing training, tuition reimbursement, and leadership development.
  • Work-Life Balance : Flexibility when you need it and support when it matters.
  • Give Back : Volunteer, mentor, or join community events — we love making a difference together.

    • Ready to build something amazing?

    If you’re a motivated project leader who loves teamwork, problem-solving, and watching your projects come to life, we’d love to meet you!
