Industrial Project Manager/Estimator

River City Construction
Peoria, IL

Industrial Project Managers are responsible for leading construction efforts for a diverse portfolio of industrial clients, often managing multiple small to mid-sized projects simultaneously. They work collaboratively with other company departments to carry projects through carefully planned preconstruction efforts ensuring delivery on-time, within budget, and aligned with client expectations.

Project Managers are responsible for the Financial, Schedule, Safety, and Quality performance of their assigned projects. A strong focus will be placed on estimating accuracy, cost controls, and hands-on project management to keep concurrent projects running smoothly. They are required to maintain a thorough "big picture" understanding of their overall workload while also recognizing and acting upon priority tasks without supervision.

In addition to their own work, Industrial Project Managers are required to effectively delegate tasks and supervise project teams to include superintendents, foremen, project engineers, QC managers, Safety officers, project controls staff, project clerks, procurement staff, and designers. This position also supports RCC's New Work / Pursuits Team by fostering client relationships, developing leads and opportunities, and ensuring a client-focused project experience on every assignment.

  • Highly effective communication and collaboration with the Operations Team will be essential for success in a multi-project environment.

Relationships and Partnerships

  • Develop, foster, and administer strategic relationship initiatives with Industrial Clients, Design Partners, Subcontracting Partners, and Vendors.
  • Serve as the face of the client relationship and the main point of contact, ensuring responsiveness and consistent delivery across a wide portfolio of fast-paced projects.
