Senior Project Manager (Structural Steel)

Central Virginia

$120,000 – $140,000 + Bonus & Profit Sharing

AISC-Certified Structural Steel Fabricator

Why This Role Matters:

This is not a typical Project Manager position.

You’ll step into a senior, high-impact role within a respected structural steel fabricator delivering complex commercial projects (200–500 tons) for universities, schools, and major regional and national general contractors.

More importantly, this role offers a clear and realistic path into broader leadership, with long-term succession planning toward General Manager / senior operational leadership for the right individual.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own structural steel projects from award through fabrication, delivery, and erection
• Serve as the primary point of contact for general contractors, erectors, and internal teams
• Develop and manage project schedules, budgets, and cost controls
• Review contract documents, drawings, shop drawings, and erection plans
• Identify, price, and manage change orders to protect margins
• Coordinate closely with fabrication, shipping, and erection teams
• Attend planning meetings and occasional site visits
• Drive project profitability, accountability, and on-time delivery

Ideal Candidate Profile:

Must-Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
• 8+ years of experience in commercial construction
• Strong background in structural steel projects
• Solid understanding of construction contracts and erection sequencing
• Experience working for a structural steel fabricator
• Comfortable managing architecturally complex commercial builds

The Company & Opportunity:

• AISC-certified, financially stable structural steel business
• Strong pipeline of work with Tier 1 and regional GCs
• Projects valued up to $7M+
• Lean, experienced team with direct access to ownership
• Competitive compensation, strong bonuses, and real career progression
