Job Purpose

The Project Manager for the Concrete Restoration and Design team is responsible for leading restoration projects from initial assessment through construction closeout. This role combines technical expertise with project leadership to ensure that all work is executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with engineering standards and client expectations. Project Managers coordinate directly with clients, contractors, and internal teams, oversee field inspections on behalf of the Engineer of Record (EOR) or Special Inspector (SI), and produce clear, accurate documentation including field reports, repair protocols, and construction administration deliverables.

Responsibilities

include scope development, budgeting, scheduling, progress tracking, and facilitating timely resolution of onsite issues. This role requires regular fieldwork and job‑site presence, along with strong communication and decision‑making skills.

If licensed as a Professional Engineer, the Project Manager will also assume EOR responsibilities at project kickoff, providing technical leadership and sealing engineering documents as required. Main Duties and Responsibilities: Independently manage and lead multiple concrete restoration projects from initiation through closeout, ensuring safe, compliant, and high‑quality execution for both internal clients and external clients.

Perform field inspections for concrete restoration and structural repair work, documenting findings accurately and consistently in accordance with company standards and the Engineer of Record’s intent. Prepare field reports using the company’s latest technology platforms, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and timely completion of field data management requirements.

Track repair quantities during inspections and maintain accurate quantity logs to support transparent coordination with contractors and alignment with approved repair scopes. Review contractor pay applications by comparing claimed quantities with inspected and approved areas, and issue recommendations for payment only when fully substantiated and protective of the client’s interests.

Review and negotiate contractor change orders, validating scope, quantities, unit rates, and market alignment to safeguard and advocate for the client. Coordinate closely with contractors to schedule repair work, confirm readiness for inspections, and maintain continuity of field operations.

Coordinate staffing needs with internal clients (team leads and department leadership), requesting additional resources such as Staff I/II support where project volume requires it. Develop repair protocols and restoration repair details, ensuring technical accuracy and compliance with the Florida Building Code, applicable engineering standards, and accepted restoration practices.

Serve as Engineer of Record (EOR) if licensed, assuming full technical responsibility from project kickoff, including sealing engineering documents, interpreting code, and overseeing technical decisions. For unlicensed Project Managers, independently manage all project duties while consulting with the EOR as a technical subject matter expert.

The PM remains responsible for execution, decision tracking, and day‑to‑day project leadership. Adhere strictly to project scopes of work, contractual requirements, and executed proposals, ensuring all project tasks aligned with approved services.

Support design development activities by preparing bid forms, aligning quantities and scopes with EOR design documents, and assisting with engineering estimate analysis for bid allowances and permitting packages. Coordinate project schedules internally and externally, ensuring necessary resources are available and work sequences support safe and efficient project progress.

Lead and mentor project engineers, inspectors, and field personnel, reinforcing technical development, restoration best practices, and adherence to company standards. Maintain strict compliance with OSHA regulations, including Suspended Scaffolding standards, engineering codes, and all applicable safety requirements.

Manage the financial performance of assigned projects, ensuring budgets, time entries, labor allocations, and billing align with contract expectations. Including follow up on outstanding payments, maintaining professional communication to support the financial health of the project and the company.

Communicate clearly and professionally with external clients such as property managers, attorneys, contractors, building officials, and with internal clients across multidisciplinary teams. Identify project risks early and proactively resolve issues, escalating concerns that may affect schedules, budgets, or deliverables while working to always protect the client’s interests.
