WESTERN PUMP Inc is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead petroleum equipment and fueling system construction projects from award through closeout. This role owns the full lifecycle of projects — planning, execution, financial performance, safety compliance, and customer satisfaction.

The ideal candidate thrives in regulated environments, understands complex mechanical and fuel system scopes, and delivers projects with minimal rework, strong margins, and successful inspections. This is a leadership position balancing field coordination, regulatory compliance, financial oversight, and professional client interface.

You will manage multiple commercial, industrial, and municipal projects while protecting safety, schedule, margin, and company reputation.

WESTERN PUMP Inc is a respected leader in petroleum, automotive, and transportation infrastructure construction. We compete successfully against the largest companies in the sector because of our technical depth, field execution strength, and customer responsiveness.

Our teams deliver complex, mission-critical infrastructure — from underground fuel storage systems to automotive service facility installations — in highly regulated environments.

We back our Project Managers with strong field leadership, engineering support, procurement coordination, and compliance expertise. At WESTERN PUMP, you are supported — not left to solve problems alone.
