As our Transportation Practice Leader, you will provide strategic leadership and oversight for transportation construction management projects including highways, bridges, roadway improvements, interchanges, and transit infrastructure:

  • Practice Leadership & Strategic Growth
    Guide the growth of the transportation CM practice, support business development, mentor staff, and strengthen client relationships with agencies such as Caltrans, counties, and local municipalities.
  • Construction Leadership & Owner Representation
    Serve as the senior owner representative for complex projects, providing oversight to ensure construction aligns with approved plans, specifications, and regulations.
  • Project Delivery & Performance Oversight
    Monitor contractor performance, construction progress, and project milestones to keep projects on schedule, within budget, and compliant with agency standards.
  • Stakeholder Coordination & Issue Resolution
    Collaborate with public agency clients, designers, contractors, and regulatory stakeholders to resolve construction challenges and maintain project momentum.
  • Team Leadership & Mentorship
    Provide guidance and mentorship to resident engineers, inspectors, and CM staff to build a strong, high-performing transportation CM team.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
  • 15+ years of experience leading complex transportation infrastructure projects
  • Active California Professional Engineer (PE) License
  • Strong understanding of Caltrans and local agency construction standards
  • Demonstrated success managing complex transportation programs and client relationships

  • Vehicle Benefit: Auto allowance or company-provided vehicle
  • Incentives: Discretionary bonus and recognition programs
  • Time Off: 4 weeks PTO plus 8 paid holidays
  • Total Rewards: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family, plus employee ownership and retirement benefits
