Project Management Careers

Project Management for Geotechnical Construction

At GSI, project managers lead geotechnical construction projects that stabilize slopes, mitigate rockfall hazards, and repair infrastructure impacted by landslides and ground instability.

Our teams coordinate crews, equipment, and resources to deliver projects safely and efficiently. Because GSI uses a design-build approach, project managers work closely with engineering teams, field crews, and subcontractors throughout the project.

If you’re looking for a project management career where your leadership helps deliver real infrastructure solutions, GSI offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

A Day in the Life

Field Engineer: The Technical Foundation

Your day begins on-site, often in rugged or remote terrain, performing slope assessments or rope-access inspections. You are the eyes and ears of the engineering team, conducting geotechnical testing and collecting real-time data to ensure design plans are implemented safely. Between coordinating with field crews and documenting as-built conditions, you are solving technical challenges on the fly to keep production moving.

Project Manager I: The Execution Lead

You drive the alignment between the field teams and the client, ensuring everyone is clear on the day's performance standards. Your focus is on the "how" of the project—managing daily logistics, overseeing contract compliance, and resolving immediate project hurdles. You will spend time building relationships and collaborating with procurement and engineering to ensure resources are ready for the next phase of work.

Project Manager II: The Project Owner

As a PM II, you take full ownership of the project's success, from the initial award to the final closeout. You spend time reviewing project financials and forecasts to drive informed decisions, followed by a risk-assessment meeting with subcontractors. You act as the primary strategic partner for the client, providing high-level updates and ensuring the project meets both GSI quality standards and financial targets.

Senior Project Manager: The Strategic Leader

Your day is centered on the big picture, overseeing a portfolio of high-value, complex programs. You spend your time mentoring Project Managers, driving process improvements across the PMO, and partnering with executive leadership to align project outcomes with long-range business goals. You aren't just managing work; you are standardizing the tools and methodologies that elevate the entire team's performance.

Project Delivery Manager: The Team Mentor

Your primary mission is the development of GSI's project management talent. Your day involves reviewing portfolio health through WIP reports and performance metrics, then pivoting to hands-on coaching sessions with your PMs. You work cross-functionally with Sourcing and Business Development to align execution strategies, ensuring that every project in your region is delivered with excellence in safety and operational efficiency.
