Heavy Civil Project Manager Houston, TX

Heavy Civil Project Managers — Houston, TX

Environmental Allies is a $100M+ heavy civil contractor in Houston, and we are hiring experienced project managers. We self-perform storm drainage, concrete paving, asphalt paving, and earthwork on public infrastructure across the region — TxDOT, the City of Houston, Fort Bend County, Harris County, and municipal utility districts throughout the metro.

We own our concrete batch plant. We run our own crews and our own equipment. The work that defines this company does not get handed to a subcontractor. Our project managers manage actual production, not just paperwork about somebody else’s production.

We hire at the level you have earned. Four to nine years of heavy civil project management behind you and we have a Project Manager seat. A decade or more, ready to carry the hardest jobs and develop the people behind you, and we have a Senior Project Manager seat. Tell us which one fits and we will take the conversation from there.

Two Ways In

Level	Experience	Pay range	What you would own
Project Manager	4–9 years	$80,000 – $135,000	Full lifecycle ownership of one to three concurrent projects: contract review, schedule, budget, cost-to-complete, change orders, owner and engineer relationships, and closeout.
Senior Project Manager	10+ years	$165,000 – $225,000	A larger portfolio and the harder jobs, change order and claim strategy, and mentorship of the project managers and coordinators coming up behind you.

Pay moves inside each band as your scope and track record grow — you will not wait for an annual cycle to be paid for what you are already doing. The step from Project Manager to Senior Project Manager is a change in responsibility rather than just a number: a bigger portfolio, the harder work, and the people coming up behind you. We also promote out of our own Project Coordinator seat, so part of the Senior role is building the bench.

The Work

• Storm sewer, storm drainage, and detention — underground utility installation and drainage infrastructure.
• Concrete paving and asphalt paving, roadway reconstruction, and site work.
• Earthwork and excavation, plus erosion control and SW3P compliance.
• Public-agency contract administration: submittals, RFIs, monthly pay applications, certified payroll, MWBE goal compliance, change orders, and audit-ready closeout documentation.
• Daily coordination with our own superintendents and crews, alongside owners, engineers, and inspectors.

What You Will Do

• Own your projects from contract award through final closeout — no handoffs, no split accountability.
• Review new contracts for risk, identify the clarifications worth chasing, and clear the contract for execution.
• Build and maintain project schedules; track cost against budget and forecast to completion so nobody is surprised in month five.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for the owner and the engineer on your jobs.
• Prepare and track RFIs and submittals through resolution and approval.
• Create, review, and approve monthly pay applications consistent with contract terms.
• Price, negotiate, and document change orders — including the ones that require you to hold your ground.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with our General Superintendents on sequencing, resources, and the calls that have to be made same-day.
• Develop the project coordinators assigned to your jobs — we grow our own project managers.
• Champion jobsite safety alongside the Safety Manager and field leadership.
