Civil Project Manager

Own every yard of dirt. As Civil Project Manager, you're accountable for all civil and sitework scope on Solx's greenfield manufacturing expansion in Puerto Rico — from site prep and mass grading through roads, parking, site utilities, and stormwater. You'll take the site from raw ground to a pad-ready, fully serviced platform the building and equipment teams can construct on, on budget and on schedule. This is a hands-on, on-site role for a builder with deep heavy-civil experience who has delivered large, complex sitework packages and knows how to manage earthwork, hydrology, and utilities in an aggressive, high-stakes environment. Reports directly to the VP, Capital Projects.

What you'll do

• Own scope, budget, and schedule for all civil and sitework packages — site preparation, earthwork, grading, drainage, roads, parking, and site utilities.
• Manage civil and heavy-civil contractors and subcontractors from bid through closeout; administer contracts, change orders, and pay applications.
• Direct mass grading and earthwork — cut/fill balance, soil management, compaction, and coordination with geotechnical requirements.
• Own site hydrology and stormwater management — drainage, detention/retention, erosion and sediment control (SWPPP), and flood and hurricane resilience.
• Manage roads, truck routes, paving, parking, curbs, sidewalks, and site hardscape.
• Coordinate wet and dry underground utilities — water, sanitary and storm sewer, power, gas, and communications — to the building pad.
• Interface civil scope with foundations, structural, building, and MEP packages to protect the overall project schedule.
• Manage survey, staking, and as-built control; review civil drawings, specifications, submittals, and RFIs.
• Secure and maintain civil-related permits — grading/earthwork, stormwater, and right-of-way — with Puerto Rico agencies.
• Run project controls for civil packages — cost, schedule, QA/QC, and clear reporting to the VP, Capital Projects.
• Own site safety for civil operations, including heavy equipment, excavation, and trenching.

What you bring

• Direct experience with grading, stormwater (SWPPP), and site permitting.

• Strong problem-solving instincts, field presence, and the ability to drive contractors to schedule and quality.
• Willingness to be based on-site in Puerto Rico for the duration of the sitework.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license and/or PMP certification preferred.

• Familiarity with large industrial or advanced-manufacturing site development preferred.
• Experience with island or logistics-constrained construction (including Jones Act considerations) preferred.
• Bilingual English/Spanish preferred.
