Job Summary

The Construction Manager serves as Atwell’s Owner’s Construction Representative for client pavement and roadway rehabilitation programs, supporting pavement assessment review, rehabilitation planning, procurement, construction-phase coordination, budget and schedule oversight, reporting, closeout, and warranty-phase services. This role reviews pavement condition data, plans, budgets, and schedules with Owner, design, and construction teams to recommend rehabilitation strategies, identify constructability, budget, and schedule concerns, and develop mitigation strategies to reduce project risk.

The Construction Manager coordinates horizontal construction activities, including roadway, pavement, drainage, and civil/site improvements, with design consultants, paving and specialty contractors, municipalities, governmental agencies, suppliers, vendors, utility providers, and Owner stakeholders to maintain project schedules, control budgets, resolve issues, and support successful project delivery consistent with approved plans, specifications, contracts, and Owner expectations. The role supports recurring, multi-site programs for repeat clients, requires frequent short-duration travel, and may support other civil and site development projects as needed.
