Take Your Project Management Career in an Exciting New Direction!

Are you an experienced Project Manager who thrives on solving complex challenges, leading skilled teams, and seeing ambitious projects through to completion? Are you looking for something beyond the typical construction site or manufacturing facility?

Agility Recruiting is partnering with an established, highly respected Bay Area company to identify a talented Project Manager for a unique opportunity in the maritime construction and industrial services industry.

Located along the beautiful San Francisco Bay waterfront, this organization delivers complex, high-value projects for commercial and government customers. With a talented workforce of more than 350 skilled craftspeople and a collaborative team of experienced Project Managers, this is an opportunity to take ownership of meaningful projects in a dynamic, hands-on environment.

Maritime experience is NOT required! We welcome Project Managers from construction, heavy civil, engineering, industrial manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, infrastructure, and related technical industries.

If you have successfully managed complex projects, coordinated skilled crews, and taken responsibility for budgets, schedules, and customer satisfaction, we want to hear from you!

What You'll Be Doing

As Project Manager, you'll have significant autonomy and responsibility for projects ranging from approximately $100,000 to $5 million. You'll oversee projects from planning through completion while working closely with skilled tradespeople, technical professionals, and customers.

Key responsibilities include:

• Project Leadership: Manage multiple complex projects, ensuring successful execution from initial planning through final delivery.
• Financial Accountability: Take ownership of project budgets, profitability, cost controls, and overall financial performance.
• Scheduling & Resource Management: Coordinate personnel, equipment, materials, and resources to meet demanding project schedules.
• Team Leadership: Direct and collaborate with skilled craftspeople, technical specialists, and operational teams.
• Customer Relationships: Serve as a primary point of contact for customers, managing expectations, communicating progress, and addressing evolving project requirements.
• Risk & Quality Management: Identify potential challenges, implement solutions, and maintain high standards for quality and performance.
• Continuous Improvement: Find innovative ways to improve processes, increase efficiency, and deliver exceptional results.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in accomplished Project Managers who bring strong leadership abilities, technical aptitude, and a hands-on approach to getting things done.

Required Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of experience in project management and production environments, including crew management and customer-facing responsibilities.
• Experience managing complex projects in construction, engineering, industrial operations, manufacturing, maritime services, or related fields.
• Strong understanding of project planning, scheduling, contracts, and financial management.
• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, coordinate resources, and manage competing priorities.
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to work effectively with executives, customers, engineers, and skilled tradespeople.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, sound judgment, and a proactive approach to overcoming challenges.
• Flexibility to work occasional evenings or weekends as project demands require.

Highly Desirable Experience:

• Heavy civil construction, bridge construction, large commercial construction, or infrastructure projects.
• Industrial construction, mechanical contracting, fabrication, welding, machining, or industrial painting.
• Shipbuilding, ship repair, marine engineering, or maritime operations.
• Oil and gas, utilities, defense, transportation, or military operations.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Project Management, or a related discipline.
• Spanish or Vietnamese language skills are a plus.
• Military leadership or technical project experience is welcomed.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't your typical Project Manager position.

• Unique Work Environment: Work on the San Francisco Bay waterfront, supporting fascinating marine and industrial projects.
• Real Project Ownership: Take responsibility for project performance, financial results, and customer satisfaction.
• Diverse, Challenging Work: No two days are alike. You'll manage interesting technical projects requiring creativity, leadership, and adaptability.
• Collaborative Team: Join an established organization with experienced Project Managers and hundreds of talented skilled tradespeople.
• Career Development: Benefit from mentorship, professional development, and opportunities to grow into broader leadership responsibilities.
• Competitive Compensation: Earn $100,000–$130,000 annually, depending on experience, plus a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical and dental insurance, vision coverage, paid time off, and a retirement plan with 401(k).
