Senior Project Manager- Heavy Civil Construction

We’re representing one of the largest and most successful heavy civil contractors in Detroit as they begin looking for a Senior Project Manager who will play a critical role in key projects in 2026.

Known for its reputation across Michigan for quality work, reliability, and strong client relationships, the company balances a family feel with professional systems, offering employees a stable, team-oriented environment with genuine long-term opportunity.

• A team player who values doing things the right way and takes pride in their work
