Construction Manager – Municipal and Public Works Projects
Sequence has been exclusively retained and is currently seeking a dynamic Construction Manager
to join one of Northern California’s most respected third-party construction management consultancies — a firm recognized for providing trusted leadership and oversight on major municipal infrastructure and capital improvement projects across the Bay Area and Central Coast.
This is among the
most visible leadership opportunities of its kind in the industry
– a unique chance to step into a senior-level construction management role where your work directly shapes communities, guides multi-million-dollar projects, and strengthens the infrastructure that keeps California moving.
We are seeking a proven
Construction Manager
with a strong record of performance in
public works, transportation, or municipal infrastructure
projects. The successful candidate will bring both
strategic leadership and hands-on construction insight
, capable of navigating complex schedules, contracts, and stakeholder expectations while keeping projects advancing smoothly in the field.
This could be the right position for an accomplished senior professional seeking a
long-term home with a stable, respected organization
, or for a
talented mid- to senior-level manager ready to step up into a broader leadership role
The role can be based
anywhere within the greater San Francisco Bay Area
— from the City itself to the East Bay, South Bay, or even Santa Cruz. It combines
office-based coordination
with
regular onsite field engagement
, including oversight of active project sites to ensure quality, safety, and compliance (approximately
40% office / 60% field
, primarily weekdays with occasional weekend requirements). While regional travel is routine, most assignments are
day trips with staff home by evening
— offering both professional variety and personal balance.
Key Responsibilities
Lead pre-construction planning, coordination, and kickoff meetings.
Oversee construction activities from field management through project closeout.
Evaluate contractor compliance; process RFIs, pay requests, and change orders.
Manage schedules, budgets, and documentation to ensure contract integrity.
Provide oversight, reporting, and communication to client agencies and stakeholders.
Identify risks, resolve challenges, and uphold project excellence standards.

Minimum
5 to 15+ years of experience
as a Construction Manager with
public works project
experience.
Registration as a
Certified Construction Manager (CCM)
or
California Civil Engineer (PE)
strongly preferred.

Caltrans standards
and
state / federal-funded project requirements
Strong understanding of
roadway, utility, and infrastructure systems
Exceptional
communication, organizational, and leadership
skills.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a company that values
integrity, collaboration, and professional excellence
— where leadership is recognized, initiative is rewarded, and your expertise makes a visible impact on the community.
The firm’s culture emphasizes
teamwork, mentorship, and respect
, with a shared belief that great outcomes come from great people working together.
This same philosophy extends to its benefits. The organization offers a
competitive compensation package
commensurate with experience, along with vehicle stipend and other
performance-based incentives
and a
comprehensive suite of benefits
, including health, dental, vision, retirement, and professional development support.
