Key Responsibilities

As a Project Manager, you are responsible for directing in-house crews and subcontractors. Also, they work directly with customers and are involved in bidding and billing projects. You believe in doing the job right. Being the best. And you’re up for the challenge.

Project Planning and Execution

• Lead assigned OSP projects from kickoff through closeout, ensuring work is delivered safely, on time, within budget, and in alignment with customer requirements. Build and maintain project execution plans that define scope, milestones, dependencies, constraints, and delivery expectations while supporting MasTec standards and WPMO governance.

Schedule and Controls Management

• Own project schedule performance through proactive planning, forecasting, monitoring, and recovery actions. Apply Critical Path Method, CPM, principles to manage sequencing, logic, milestone integrity, schedule exposure, and delivery commitments. Use Primavera P6 and related controls tools to maintain accurate schedules, identify critical and near-critical activities, and drive timely corrective action.

Client Reporting and Leadership Engagement

• Serve as a primary day-to-day point of contact for the client and as a trusted project representative to MasTec senior leadership. Provide clear and timely daily, weekly, and executive-level reporting on project status, schedule movement, risks, change impacts, financial performance, and recovery actions. Act as the face and voice of the project in both internal and external settings.

Cross Functional Coordination

• Work directly with client stakeholders, construction management, engineering management, field teams, and internal support functions to align priorities, resolve issues, and maintain forward progress. Lead coordination across functions to support timely decisions, disciplined execution, and reliable delivery performance.

Change and Scope Management

• Provide strong leadership in change management and scope management throughout the project lifecycle. Evaluate requested changes for schedule, cost, resource, and field impact, and ensure changes are documented, communicated, priced, approved, and managed in a controlled manner. Maintain scope discipline and protect project objectives through structured change control.

Financial, Commercial, and Contract Management

• Own project-level financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, revenue, cost, margin, profitability, cash flow, billing, invoicing, cost tracking, and forecast-to-complete. Administer project contracts and subcontractor commitments, monitor commercial exposure, support change order development and recovery, and take corrective action when variances or financial risk are identified.

OSP Program Delivery

• Coordinate OSP construction activities across permitting, municipality and agency coordination, material readiness, subcontractor execution, customer deliverables, and closeout requirements. Partner closely with construction, field operations, project controls, and leadership to keep all workstreams aligned and moving.

Risk, Issue, and Stakeholder Management

• Identify project risks, document issues, track action plans, and escalate concerns as needed. Maintain strong stakeholder alignment across the client, field teams, construction, engineering, WPMO, and leadership to support informed decision-making and execution stability.

Safety and Quality Compliance

• Promote a safety-first culture across all project activity. Ensure work is executed in accordance with company policy, customer standards, OSHA requirements, and quality expectations. Support a work environment where safety, quality, and operational discipline are part of day-to-day execution.

Project Closeout and Handoff
