Project Controls Manager

We’re seeking Project Controls Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. These roles sit where cost, schedule, risk, and change come together, so the baseline, the forecast, and the performance a program reports all tell the same story. We are looking for people who can defend a number in front of a contractor and in front of program leadership on the same day.

This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need.
