Job Description

Construction Project Manager
Santamaria Concrete | San Jose, CA | Full-Time
Salary starting at $90,000 annually, negotiable based on experience

Santamaria Concrete is looking for a hands-on Construction Project Manager with at least five years of construction project management experience to help lead our projects and support our growth.

We are a growing concrete, asphalt, and civil construction company serving the Bay Area and surrounding markets. Our clients include municipalities, public agencies, utility contractors, general contractors, and commercial and residential property owners. Our work includes sidewalks, ADA ramps, curb and gutter, asphalt paving, parking lot restoration, grading, demolition, utility-related restoration, and emergency infrastructure repairs.

We need someone who can take ownership of a project from estimating handoff through field execution and closeout—keeping crews productive, materials ready, clients informed, and costs under control.

What you’ll do

Manage project handoffs, review plans and specifications, and understand the scope, quantities, exclusions, schedule, and budget before work begins.
Plan field activities at least 24–48 hours ahead and maintain a clear two- to three-day look-ahead schedule.
Coordinate crews, subcontractors, equipment, trucking, material deliveries, rentals, and staging so the team arrives ready to work.
Confirm submittals, permits, utility markings, inspections, and required approvals are in place before the affected work starts.
Visit jobsites, support foremen, verify progress and quality, and resolve field issues promptly.
Track labor, equipment, materials, production, and costs against the estimate. Identify problems early and take corrective action.
Document changes in scope, extra work, delays, and site conditions. Prepare supporting records for change orders and time-and-material billing.
Keep daily photos, quantities, project updates, timecards, safety documentation, and T&M records organized and current.
Coordinate daily closeout so records are ready for review around 3–4 p.m. and the next day’s work is planned.
Communicate with clients, inspectors, agency representatives, suppliers, subcontractors, and our estimating and office teams.
Use Monday.com to track responsibilities, deadlines, pending decisions, and project status.
Follow through on punch lists, final inspections, rental returns, and project closeout.

What we’re looking for

At least five years of experience in a construction project manager role.
Strong experience in concrete, asphalt, civil construction, sitework, or closely related work.
Ability to read plans, specifications, contracts, and estimates and turn them into a practical field plan.
Working knowledge of construction sequencing, crew production, equipment needs, material quantities, and jobsite logistics.
Experience managing schedules, budgets, subcontractors, purchasing, change orders, and project documentation.
Strong organization and follow-through. You anticipate what the crew will need instead of waiting for a problem to stop production.
Clear communication and the ability to hold people accountable while maintaining good working relationships.
Comfort with spreadsheets, digital forms, email, and project management software. Monday.com experience is a plus.
A valid driver’s license and the ability to travel between our San Jose yard and project sites.
Willingness to work closely with field crews and learn how our work is performed.

Experience with public works, prevailing-wage projects, union crews, Caltrans, utility contractors, and emergency or T&M work is especially valuable.

Training and room to grow

You’ll work directly with company leadership and our field team. We teach through hands-on involvement, jobsite experience, and direct feedback, giving you access to the decisions and responsibilities that help you develop quickly.

You should already know how to manage construction projects. We’ll help you learn our methods, equipment, clients, and systems. As we scale, there is room to take on larger projects, lead more people, improve our processes, and grow into greater responsibility based on your performance.

Compensation and benefits

Salary starting at $90,000 per year, negotiable based on relevant experience and ability.
Two weeks of paid vacation.
Health benefits.
Hands-on training and mentorship.
Opportunity for career growth as the company expands.

How to apply

Include a brief summary of the projects you’ve managed, your experience with concrete/asphalt/civil work, your current city, salary expectations, and availability to start.
