We self-perform, water, sewer and grading and drainage and hire out other scopes to sub-contractors. At ABES, we are committed to delivering high-quality, on-time, and on-budget results with integrity, professionalism, and purpose.

Position Summary

We are seeking a seasoned Construction Manager with at least 15 years of experience (20 years preferred) to lead and manage construction projects both in the office and in the field. This role requires a proactive, detail-oriented leader who understands the full life cycle of construction—from project planning and resource management to field execution and administrative follow-through.

The Construction Manager will play a vital role in coordinating teams, subcontractors, equipment, scheduling, budget control, and reporting. They must be equally comfortable in the field managing crews and logistics, as well as in the office overseeing documentation, subcontractor billing, and project administration.

Key Responsibilities

In the Field

  • Lead daily site operations for multiple construction projects, ensuring compliance with safety, quality, schedule, and budget standards.
  • Oversee field crews, subcontractors, and equipment usage.
  • Conduct regular site inspections and coordination meetings.
  • Ensure proper use, maintenance, and rental of equipment.
  • Identify and resolve field issues proactively to avoid delays or cost overruns.
  • Coordinate inspections, permits, and regulatory compliance with project specifications.

In the Office

  • Assist with compiling and placing bids
  • Participate in preconstruction planning, estimating, and evaluation of sub pricing.
  • Manage construction project documentation and administrative requirements.
  • Create and manage detailed project schedules and execution plans.
  • Review and approve subcontractor invoices, payment applications, and time tracking.
  • Assist with project budgeting and cost tracking in coordination with accounting.
  • Generate progress reports, RFIs, change orders, and other contract documents.
  • Work with internal teams to align construction execution with engineering plans.
  • Qualifications

  • Minimum of 15 years of progressive construction management experience in water, sewer, grading and drainage projects as well as other public infrastructure projects.
  • Proven track record managing both field and office aspects of construction projects.
  • Strong knowledge of construction scheduling, budgeting, and cost control.
  • Experience reviewing plans, specifications, and contract documents.
  • Familiarity with construction software and tools (e.g., Procore, MS Project, Bluebeam, Excel).
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills; ability to lead teams and coordinate subcontractors.
  • Ability to perform basic tasks (such as load and unloading a truck) using heavy equipment
  • Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to job sites as needed.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • OSHA 30 certification (or willingness to obtain).
  • Knowledge of construction equipment and rental procedures.
  • The ability to dig trenches or perform site grading utilizing heavy equipment is a plus.
  • Prior experience with minority-owned or small business contractors a plus.
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary, commensurate with experience : $120k - $150k
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Professional development and training opportunities
  • Company vehicle or travel allowance for job site visits
  • About Working at ABES

    We are a values-driven firm focused on excellence, accountability, and impact. ABES Contracting is expanding, and this role offers an opportunity to grow with the company, shape how we execute projects, and lead high-impact work in the communities we serve.
