Job Description:
Project Manager
Utilities (Water, Sewer, Storm) ?
??? Greater Boston / Central Massachusetts Region Massachusetts-Based Self-Perform Utility Contractor A growing, self-perform underground utility contractor in Massachusetts is seeking a Project Manager to lead and deliver complex water, sewer, and storm-drain projects. The company is known for its field-first culture, hands-on leadership, and strong reputation with municipalities, state agencies, and regional utility owners. If you're a utilities PM who understands production, tight urban/suburban sequencing, and how to keep crews moving through challenging New England ground conditions, this is the environment where you'll thrive. What You'll Lead Project Delivery
Oversee full lifecycle delivery of water, sewer, and storm-utility projects across the Commonwealth. Field Coordination
Work closely with superintendents, foremen, and crews to maintain daily production rates. Preconstruction Support
Assist with estimating, constructability reviews, and project setup. Stakeholder & Agency Management
Coordinate directly with municipal DPWs, local inspectors, MassDOT, and utility owners. Resource Planning
Manage manpower, heavy equipment allocation, and weekly production goals. Safety & Compliance
Ensure field execution meets OSHA standards, company protocols, and local Conservation Commission environmental bylaws. Leadership Development
Mentor foremen and superintendents to strengthen field leadership and operational bench strength. Operational Strategy
Partner with senior leadership on scheduling, financial forecasting, and navigating seasonal weather impacts. What Makes You a Fit This role is built for a field-driven utilities leader, not a desk-bound coordinator. You need to understand the realities of digging in New England-from rocky glacial till to handling legacy infrastructure. You'll excel here if you have: Deep Utilities Experience
Strong background in open-cut excavations, deep utilities, and water/sewer/storm main installations. Field-Up Progression
Ideally grew through the field (Foreman ? Superintendent ? PM/Ops) or possess equivalent heavy civil field grit. Production Instincts
Ability to drive daily output, manage trench safety, and keep crews moving efficiently. Mass Regulatory Familiarity
Experience navigating MassDOT standards, Chapter 90 projects, and local municipal street opening permits. Hands-On Leadership
Present, visible, and engaged on-site; comfortable managing both tight urban tie-ins and regional main extensions. Crew Respect
Ability to speak the language of the field, command respect in the yard, and solve problems collaboratively with crews. If you prefer managing exclusively from a remote office or delegating every field decision, this won't be the right fit. What This Company Offers Stable Pipeline
A robust backlog of public-sector municipal (DPW) and state-level utility work across Massachusetts. Tight-Knit Leadership
A no-nonsense, collaborative leadership team that values field execution over corporate red tape. Impact & Influence
Direct access to ownership and the ability to shape operations and support regional growth. Competitive Compensation
Company truck or allowance + fuel card (equipped for New England winters). Full Benefits
Comprehensive medical, 401(k) match, and a performance-based bonus structure.
