Project Manager – Municipal Water / Wastewater Construction
ConfidentialAbout the opportunity Florida Construction Talent is recruiting an experienced Project Manager for a Florida construction management firm's municipal water and wastewater construction work in the Orlando area.

Coordinate civil/site work, underground yard piping, prestressed tank construction, process equipment, electrical distribution, instrumentation and controls, and the operations building. Monitor subcontractor scope, staffing, work sequencing, schedule commitments, safety performance, and construction quality. Track long-lead purchases and material delivery schedules; identify conflicts before field work is delayed. Run construction and owner coordination meetings, assign follow-up actions, report variances, and implement recovery measures. Plan and coordinate system turnover, controls integration, startup, operator training, punch lists, and final closeout.
