About the Positions We’re seeking Resource Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. These roles are the resource managers for programs where several task orders run at once and each one needs different people at different times. You’ll track who is assigned where, who is about to roll off, and who is available, then line staff up for the next need so every segment and contract package keeps moving on time and within budget. This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs.

Attributes • Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills. • Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills. • Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships. • Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a commitment to continuous improvement. • Ability to balance competing staffing priorities across multiple task orders while keeping budget and schedule in view.
