Senior Project Manager

At Gerber Construction, we’re not just building projects—we’re building a better quality of life for our teams and communities. As a leader in civil construction since 1974, we’ve earned our reputation by developing great people and delivering exceptional results. Our Senior Project Managers are trusted leaders who embody our brand promise: Great people. Great projects. They tackle complex challenges with confidence, plan with precision, and guide teams through continuous learning and improvement. With a bold, grounded approach, our Senior Project Managers ensure safety, quality, and performance at every stage of our projects.
