Senior Project Manager | Peoria - River City Construction

We are seeking an ambitious Senior Project Manager to lead exciting, complex, large-scale construction projects and the teams assigned to them!

As an integral member of the onsite project team, the Senior Project Manager will steer complex projects from concept to completion - ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest degree of safety and quality standards.
