What this is and what it isn’t This is
not
a corporate Project Executive role buried under layers of approval, politics, and legacy processes.
It's
not
a ceremonial title where you stop adding value and start sitting in meetings.
This is a real operational leadership role for someone who’s spent years building hard projects in New York and is ready to influence
how multiple jobs succeed , not just one.
Why people actually move into this role Most senior Project Managers don’t leave because they can’t build...
They leave because:
They’re already mentoring PMs and supers but aren’t recognized for it
They’re the escalation point when things go sideways but don’t have authority to truly fix it
They’re capped by structure, not ability
They want progression without selling their soul to a corporate hierarchy
If that resonates, this role was built for you.
The company This is a
mid-sized NYC heavy civil GC
delivering both MTA and private infrastructure work, with projects reaching
$100M . Over the last 10 years, they’ve
quietly quadrupled
project size and bonding capacity: No chaos. No reckless expansion. No growth for the sake of a press release.
Just consistent improvement, better execution, and stronger teams year after year.
They’ve been intentional about not becoming a bloated corporate contractor, while still competing at a serious level in the New York market.
The role in reality You’ll oversee
3-4 active project teams across NYC . Your value isn’t measured by how often you’re on site, but by:
How effectively PMs and supers perform under you
How problems get solved before they become claims or schedule disasters
How younger leaders grow because they finally have someone credible to learn from
When a job gets difficult, you’re the person who can say: “I’ve been here before. This is how we handled it. Let’s walk through it.”
This is a
player coach role
in the truest sense. You’re hands on when it matters and strategic where it counts.
Who this is really for
~20 years in the NYC GC or heavy civil world
Real experience delivering MTA or complex infrastructure projects start to finish
Naturally becomes the point of reference for others
Wants influence, autonomy, and progression, not politics
If you’re still enjoying building, but you’re ready to shape how work is done at a higher level, this is a clean step forward.
Where this goes This is a
strategic hire , not a backfill. The runway is there to grow into a VP level role without navigating the traditional corporate maze most firms expect you to endure first.
Most job ads will tell you how “exciting” a role is. We’d rather tell you
why people actually leave good jobs for better ones .
If you want a real conversation about whether this makes sense for you, reach out. If you already know it does, apply, we’ll take it from there.
