Lead Construction Manager (CM) - Heavy Civil / Hydropower in Concrete, Washington

• $70/hr. - $73/hr.
• Contract role, on-site
• Long-term, project-based (~5 years)

We are seeking an experienced Lead Construction Manager (CM) to support a major dam improvement initiative on a high-visibility hydropower project. This role will lead construction efforts on critical infrastructure upgrades, playing a key part in enhancing regional energy and water systems.

This is a long-term opportunity where you'll take ownership of complex heavy civil construction activities, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver a large-scale dam modernization project.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Lead all on-site construction management activities for a major dam upgrade
• Oversee execution of heavy civil and hydropower infrastructure work
• Manage contractors, subcontractors, and field teams to ensure safety, quality, and schedule adherence
• Coordinate with engineering, environmental, and regulatory stakeholders
• Ensure compliance with FERC and dam safety requirements
• Drive planning, sequencing, and risk mitigation strategies
• Monitor project budgets, schedules, and performance metrics
• Champion a strong safety culture across the job site
• Provide consistent updates to project leadership and stakeholders

What We're Looking For:

• 10+ years of construction management experience in heavy civil, dams, or hydropower
• Experience delivering large-scale infrastructure projects ($100M+ preferred)
• Strong understanding of dam structures, spillways, gates, and hydraulic systems
• Familiarity with FERC-regulated projects is highly preferred
• Proven leadership managing cross-functional construction teams
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field preferred

Why This Role Stands Out:

• 5-year flagship infrastructure project with long-term stability
• Opportunity to lead a high-impact hydropower upgrade
• Work alongside an experienced project team on critical energy infrastructure
• Make a lasting impact on regional power and water systems

If you're ready to lead in a complex, high-impact construction environment, this is a great opportunity to take on a pivotal role in a major infrastructure project.
