Project Manager

Project Manager – Heavy Civil Bridge

A self-performing heavy civil contractor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to own day-to-day operations on a major bridge construction project in Savannah, Georgia. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone ready to step into an active, complex project and drive it through its final 11-12 months of work. Relocation support, including housing accommodations, is available for the right candidate.

What You Will Run

Manage day-to-day project operations in partnership with the Area Manager, taking meaningful responsibility off their plate

Own project scheduling, day-to-day schedule coordination, and RFI management

Drive forecasting activities and participate in regular forecast reviews

Oversee cost control, financial management, and monthly project reporting

Manage timesheets and project-level administration

Coordinate with field operations, bridge crews, materials, subcontractors, and project requirements

Maintain strong communication with the client, DOT representatives, and all project stakeholders

Identify and resolve project issues, delays, and operational challenges in real time

Work collaboratively with the Superintendent and field team to keep the project moving

What It Takes

You need strong Superintendent experience in heavy civil and bridge construction. This is not an administrative support role or a fit for candidates whose background is primarily field engineering, material ordering, or project support. You must be able to hit the ground running and operate as a true operational partner, not a coordinator.

The project is a bridge construction effort over water, performed substantially from barges, with self-performing bridge crews and specialty subcontractors (divers, welders) on an intermittent basis. Marine or barge experience is a strong plus and particularly relevant to this work, but not required. Bridge experience is preferred. The technical scope includes post-tensioning work.

You should be a senior, experienced bridge leader who can step into an active and challenging project without requiring significant training.

Location and Long-Term Potential

This role is based in Savannah, Georgia. For the right performer, this assignment can be an entry point into a larger opportunity with our client’s growing North Florida operation. The Area Manager is building out a Jacksonville presence and expects to pursue major design-build work in the region. A strong performer could transition into that growing operation and become a key member of the North Florida team.
