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
• Highly competitive salary aligned with regional senior utilities leadership roles. Vehicle Package
• Company truck or allowance + fuel card (equipped for New England winters). Full Benefits
• Comprehensive medical, 401(k) match, and a performance-based bonus structure.
