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.

- 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
