The opportunity

You'll be our Senior Project Manager, and you'll own the project management side of the company. You'll report directly to ownership, work with clients, superintendents, and crews every day, and build the PM function the way it should be run. If you're a strong PM at a larger GC or utility contractor and there's no clear path to senior PM or operations leadership where you are, this is that path. Our long-term plan is to grow our operations leaders from inside the PM team.

About us

Founded in 2013, White & White Contracting is a self-performing underground utility contractor based in Chandler, Arizona. We build wet and dry utilities, including sewer, water, storm drain, fire line, irrigation, and dry utility systems, for homebuilders, commercial and multifamily general contractors, developers, and public and irrigation-district clients across Greater Phoenix. We run 10 to 15 crews with more than 40 owned pieces of equipment, and our clients include Toll Brothers, D.R. Horton, Meritage Homes, David Weekley Homes, Mattamy Homes, and Weis Builders. We're an owner-operated company building a professional, systems-driven organization, and we're looking for people who want to grow with it.

What you'll own

• Several active underground utility jobs at once, from award through closeout: buyout, submittals, scheduling, production, billing, and closeout

• Change orders from start to finish: spotting when a job is drifting from the bid, knowing what's a change and why, then packaging, pricing, submitting, and tracking it until it's paid

• Job financials: job costing, cost to complete, monthly billing goals, and project cash flow. You'll close jobs out fast because you know retention and cash matter as much as margin

• Safety on your jobs. Our PMs own project safety, working with superintendents and foremen to keep crews safe and every site compliant

• Look-ahead scheduling, plus coordinating deliveries, inspections, testing, and locates with our superintendents and foremen

• Client relationships with GCs, developers, owners, and engineers, with fast, professional responses

• Managing subs and suppliers on your jobs

• Monthly deliverables: job cost reviews on every job, an up-to-date change order (COR) log, and support for monthly billing and pay applications

What you bring

• 5+ years running your own underground utility, heavy civil, or utility-heavy site jobs, with your own budgets and margins

• Real knowledge of underground wet and dry utility scope. You'll need it from day one

• A track record of handling multiple jobs and multiple field leaders at the same time

• Knowledge of crew configurations and production rates, and experience tracking crew productivity against the bid

• A solid understanding of billing, job costing, and change order documentation

• OSHA 30 certification, or willingness to complete it within your first 90 days

• Experience with HCSS HeavyJob and HeavyBid is a plus; you'll need to pick up our systems quickly

• Arizona know-how: 811/Blue Stake locates, MAG specifications, and municipal (city) standards and specs

Who thrives here

• You move with urgency and don't wait to be told

• You see a job as a P&L, not a checklist

• You're confident and assertive, and you're coachable. You can take direction, adjust, and keep moving

• You bring ideas on field efficiency, fleet, and margin, and you're willing to try them

• You fit in on a small, close office team

Pay and benefits

• $135,000 to $165,000 base salary, based on experience

• Profit share

• Company truck and fuel card

• 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision for you and your family

• 401(k) with a 6% company match

• 3 weeks of PTO, 7 paid holidays, and paid sick time

Why White & White

• Direct access to ownership and a real voice in how the company runs

• A real path to senior leadership in operations

• Support from a project coordinator who handles scheduling, rentals, inspections, and change order admin, so you can focus on running your jobs

• A company investing in systems and growth, where you won't be a cog
