Project Manager - Complex Infrastructure & Buildings

Description

Tapani is growing across the Pacific Northwest, and we are looking for experienced Project Managers with backgrounds in water/wastewater, structural concrete, buildings, civil infrastructure, and collaborative delivery.

Our work spans water and wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, structural concrete, complete building and industrial construction, and major civil infrastructure, with continued growth in GC/CM, CM/GC, Design-Build, and other collaborative delivery methods across those markets.

This role is for a Project Manager who thrives on complex work, likes being deep in the details, and wants to be part of the decisions that shape how the job gets built. Our Project Managers work directly with field leadership and crews, owners, engineers, trade partners, and internal resources to keep the work coordinated and deliver successful projects as one team.

Tapani began in 1983 as a single-person operation and has grown into a family-led contractor working across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Today, our work spans Civil Site Development, Buildings, Environmental, Transportation, and Utility Infrastructure.

• Field Execution: Stay connected with field leadership and crews throughout construction so decisions, information, materials, and resources support the work.
• Subcontractors + Project Partners: Manage scope development, buyout, procurement, subcontractor performance, and coordination with owners, designers, and suppliers.
• Team Leadership: Develop Project Engineers and other team members while supporting Tapani standards for safety, quality, accountability, and Strong Teams and Successful Projects.
