Project Managers and Superintendents within our company are most often stationed at the project they are managing. This may be within the immediate Austin area or could require travel. Remotely located projects are constructed in a manner that dramatically reduces the duration on-site compared to conventional construction, requiring less onsite time for the Project Manager. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
We offer a competitive salary, full benefits package, and the opportunity to work in an innovative, collaborative environment. Relocation assistance is available.
