Engineering Jobs in Plantation Florida

APH Marine Construction is a growing marine contractor specializing in coastal infrastructure projects, seawalls, docks, and boat lifts for residential, commercial, and multi-family properties. We are seeking a Project Manager to bring structure, discipline, and follow-through to the planning and administrative side of production to efficiently and effectively complement our superintendent.

This Project Manager role completes that system by owning the planning, structure, and administrative control that field execution depends on: schedules, procurement, budgets, change orders, documentation, coordination, and closeout. This removes any friction during execution by the superintendent and field crews.

Together, the Project Manager props each project up for execution by the Superintendent who will drive production. Project Manager will be involved during each project by ensuring they stay organized, supplied, documented, and profitable.

Key Responsibilities

·        Interpret construction plans and own the procurement workflow: prepare and track POs, confirm lead times, and ensure correct specs and on-time delivery

·        Create/maintain benchmark checklists (e.g., forms up → schedule survey; pile phase → inspection; cap pour → next steps)

·        Build and maintain project schedules aligned with barge and crew movements, tides, inspections, subcontractor availability, and material lead times

·        Track budgets, cost-to-complete, and budget-to-actual; flag risks early to protect margins

·        Prepare, document, and route change orders (scope, pricing, approval, and filing)

·        Coordinate inspections, permitting requirements, and municipal/agency touchpoints

·        Maintain project documentation: panel pile and anchor logs, correspondence, approvals, plan sets, and job records

·        Produce weekly look-ahead and concise status updates for leadership and (as directed) for clients

·        Close loops: ensure open items are tracked, assigned, and completed (no ‘out of sight, out of mind’)

Required Experience & Skillset

·        3+ years in fast-paced, multi-project construction, managing multiple active jobs at once (roofing, pools, restoration, or service-based construction). Marine, civil, or structural experience is a bonus.

·        Demonstrated experience owning schedules, budgets/cost tracking, documentation, and multi-relationship coordination

·        Proficiency with Buildertrend (or similar CRM), Excel, and modern communication tools

·        Ability to read plans, permits, scopes, and perform basic takeoffs / materials forecasting

·        Strong written communication and follow-through (able to memorialize decisions and keep a clean paper trail)

·        High level of organization, prioritization, and follow-through

·        Comfortable making decisions in the field and adapting to changing conditions

Preferred (Not Required)

·        Marine construction or waterfront-specific background

·        Experience with Truline or similar seawall systems

·        Familiarity with South Florida coastal construction conditions

·        Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and surveys

What We Offer

·        Competitive salary based on experience

·        Performance-based growth opportunities

·        Company vehicle or vehicle allowance (if applicable)

·        7 Paid Holidays per year

·        Health, Dental, Vision Insurance

·        401(k) retirement plan

·        A leadership role in a growing, well-respected marine construction company

·        Projects you can take pride in—built to last in demanding environments

To apply: Send your resume and a short note describing how you’ve managed schedules, budgets, procurement, and documentation across multiple active projects.

Who We’re Looking For

A proactive, technically fluent PMO leader who can turn vision into scoped, executable programs in dynamic, regulated environments. You’ve likely been a technical lead or systems engineer who moved into program management, and you’re comfortable representing customers while aligning teams to one shared, company-wide vision. You ask great questions, push decisions forward, and build clear plans that keep exceptional engineers informed and engaged.

You thrive in R&D - where the end solution isn’t fully known at the start—and you can define scope, iterate with customers, and translate ambiguity into a crisp plan, schedule, and delivery cadence. You love building software to support hardware/embedded systems, and you respect the rigor of regulated customers while balancing the pace and realities of a startup.

What You’ll Do

Program Leadership & Governance

• Stand up and mature PMO practices (charters, SoWs, WBS, RAID, RACI, change control, comms plans, dashboards).
• Drive decisions proactively; surface tradeoffs early; never “kick the can.”
• Build and manage integrated master schedules with critical path, dependencies, and resource views.

Customer Representation & Stakeholder Management

• Represent assigned customers/programs with a “one‑team” mentality—advocating for the customer while aligning to the broader company vision.
• Establish clear communication cadences, progress updates, and executive-ready reporting.

Scope, Requirements & Systems Thinking

• Convert customer needs into software/hardware/embedded requirements, acceptance criteria, and traceability (V&V).
• Define scope from ambiguity; create baselines; manage changes with discipline.
• Partner with systems engineers on interfaces, integration plans, and test strategies.

Agile Delivery & Tooling

• Stand up Jira projects/boards, workflows, and metrics; run Agile ceremonies across cross-functional teams.
• Use Jira (required) and MS Project/Smartsheet (strong preference) to align sprint goals with milestone deliverables.

Engineering Integration & Quality

• Coordinate integration testing across software, firmware, and hardware; manage entry/exit criteria for phases and gates.
• Ensure due diligence and documentation align with clients’ regulatory frameworks (e.g., quality systems, auditability).

Leadership & Team Enablement

• Mentor PMs/ICs; build healthy execution habits; promote transparency and accountability.
• Create templates, playbooks, and workflows that scale as new customers and projects launch.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Technical foundation (e.g., Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience) and the ability to break down complex technologies and projects.
• Hands-on experience delivering programs that combine software + hardware/embedded components.
• Strong Jira and Agile planning experience (required).
• Scheduling expertise in Microsoft Project and/or Smartsheet (high preference), including WBS, dependencies, and critical path.
• Experience defining scope from ambiguity and converting customer needs to actionable requirements.
• Proven cross-functional leadership across engineering, product, QA/validation, and operations.
• Clear, concise communication; excellent stakeholder management; proactive issue/risk management.

Nice to Have

• PMP/PgMP/PMI certification (strong plus, not strictly required).
• Prior experience in R&D, tech transfer, operations demos, or government/enterprise programs (e.g., NASA or tier‑1 product orgs).
• Exposure to regulated processes (e.g., phase‑gate, requirements traceability, verification/validation best practices).
• Familiarity with Confluence, requirements tools, and test management systems.
