Materials Department Project Manager

Terracon's Jackson, Mississippi office is seeking a motivated and technically experienced professional to join our team as a Materials Department Project Manager. This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Construction Materials Testing (CMT) and Special Inspections professional who is ready to expand their responsibilities and transition into a project management role.

The Materials Department Project Manager will be responsible for managing construction materials testing and special inspection projects from proposal development through project completion. This individual will coordinate field and laboratory resources, maintain strong client relationships, oversee project budgets and schedules, review technical reports, and ensure services are delivered safely, accurately, and in accordance with project requirements.

While previous project management experience is preferred, it is not required. Candidates with a strong background in materials testing, special inspections, construction quality assurance, or related services are encouraged to apply. Professional certifications such as ACI, ICC, NICET, MDOT, or other industry-recognized credentials are valued but not required. Successful candidates should demonstrate strong technical aptitude, leadership potential, and a commitment to ongoing professional development, including obtaining relevant certifications as part of their career growth.

Essential Roles and Responsibilities:

  • Develop and manage project scopes, schedules, and budgets for materials testing and special inspection contracts.
  • Lead and supervise field crews, subcontractors, and technical staff to ensure timely and accurate deliverables.
  • Coordinate with clients, engineers, and regulatory agencies to define project requirements and obtain necessary permits.
  • Monitor compliance with ASTM, AASHTO, and local jurisdiction standards throughout all testing and inspection activities.
  • Prepare and review technical reports, test results, and inspection documentation for accuracy and completeness.
  • Identify and mitigate project risks, implementing corrective actions as needed.
  • Maintain project documentation, change orders, and cost tracking in Terracon's project management system.
  • Conduct regular site visits and safety audits to enforce company safety policies.
  • Facilitate communication between project teams, senior management, and clients to ensure alignment on goals.
  • Support business development efforts by contributing to proposals and client presentations.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience managing materials testing and special inspection projects.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent certification preferred.
  • Proven knowledge of ASTM, AASHTO, and state-specific testing/inspection standards.
  • Strong understanding of construction contracts, budgeting, and schedule control.
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
  • Ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Proficiency with project management software (e.g., Procore, Primavera, or similar).
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel to job sites within the region.
  • Commitment to safety and quality excellence.
