    Construction superintendent job in San Jose, CA

    Construction Manager - Municipal and Public Works Projects Sequence has been exclusively retained and is currently seeking a dynamic Construction Manager to join one of Northern California's most respected third-party construction management consultancies - a firm recognized for providing trusted leadership and oversight on major municipal infrastructure and capital improvement projects across the Bay Area and Central Coast. This is among the most visible leadership opportunities of its kind in the industry - a unique chance to step into a senior-level construction management role where your work directly shapes communities, guides multi-million-dollar projects, and strengthens the infrastructure that keeps California moving. We are seeking a proven Construction Manager with a strong record of performance in public works, transportation, or municipal infrastructure projects. The successful candidate will bring both strategic leadership and hands-on construction insight, capable of navigating complex schedules, contracts, and stakeholder expectations while keeping projects advancing smoothly in the field.

It combines office-based coordination with regular onsite field engagement, including oversight of active project sites to ensure quality, safety, and compliance (approximately 40% office / 60% field, primarily weekdays with occasional weekend requirements). While regional travel is routine, most assignments are day trips with staff home by evening - offering both professional variety and personal balance. Key Responsibilities Lead pre-construction planning, coordination, and kickoff meetings. Oversee construction activities from field management through project closeout. Evaluate contractor compliance; process RFIs, pay requests, and change orders. Manage schedules, budgets, and documentation to ensure contract integrity.
