Take Ownership of Critical Infrastructure Projects

We’re hiring a Project Manager / Estimator with strong experience in wastewater, municipal, mechanical, and structural steel projects. This is not a paper-pusher role. You will be responsible for everything from bidding the job to running it and ensuring it’s profitable and compliant. If you understand piping systems, treatment facilities, and regulatory‑heavy environments, this is a high‑impact opportunity to lead complex, essential infrastructure work.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Identify and pursue bid opportunities in wastewater and municipal sectors
  • Perform detailed estimating and takeoffs (materials, labor, equipment) — with and without prints
  • Prepare biddable documents and complete cost breakdowns
  • Manage projects from award through completion
  • Oversee work involving:
    • Pump stations, piping systems, and process piping
    • Structural steel and misc. steel repairs/installations
    • Tank rehabilitation and treatment system upgrades
  • Coordinate and manage subcontractors and vendors
  • Create and manage RFIs, submittals, and project schedules
  • Ensure compliance with:
    • PA DEP regulations
    • NPDES permits
    • EPA and other regulatory requirements
  • Plan and execute plant shutdowns without disrupting operations or compliance
  • Conduct jobsite visits and track progress daily
  • Monitor job costs, maintain budgets, and ensure profitability
  • Resolve technical, scheduling, and contractual issues

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Project Manager / Estimator in wastewater, municipal, or industrial construction
  • Strong estimating experience (REQUIRED) — with and without blueprints
  • Piping and pipe layout experience (preferred)
  • Experience working with treatment plants, pump stations, or similar infrastructure
  • Knowledge of PA DEP, NPDES, and regulatory documentation (HIGHLY preferred)
  • Ability to manage complex, compliance‑driven projects
  • Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills
  • Ability to travel regularly to job sites

Compensation & Perks

  • $80K – $100K base salary (depending on experience)
  • $700/month vehicle allowance
  • Gas card provided
  • Company cell phone + laptop
  • Full‑time, long‑term opportunity with strong project pipeline

Work Environment

  • Combination of office and active job sites (plants, industrial facilities, municipal sites)
  • Exposure to real construction conditions (heights, confined spaces, noise, etc.)
  • Fast‑paced, results‑driven environment

Who This Role Is Perfect For

  • A PM who can estimate and execute
  • Someone comfortable working in regulated environments
  • A professional who can handle technical projects, tight compliance, and real responsibility
