Senior Construction Manager (NY PE) - REI Market Growth

Senior Construction Manager (NY PE) – REI Market Growth

External Job Description and Profile

We are seeking a Senior Construction Manager (NY PE) to serve as a dual-purpose leader responsible for both delivering complex heavy civil infrastructure projects and contributing to the continued growth of Bureau Veritas’ Resident Engineering & Inspection (REI) presence across the New York market.

This is not a traditional Resident Engineer assignment role.

This position blends hands-on construction management, owner’s representative oversight, and client-facing engagement, with a dual focus on executing high-quality infrastructure delivery while supporting strategic market expansion efforts. Strong performance in the field is the foundation of the role, and client engagement builds on that credibility—not the other way around.

The ideal candidate is a New York-licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with deep REI experience, strong credibility with public agencies, and the ability to operate effectively in both field execution and professional client-facing environments. A New Jersey PE license is highly desirable as the firm expands regional coverage.

This is a fully on-site, long-term role overseeing major infrastructure projects including bridges, tunnels, heavy civil foundations, utilities, and transportation systems, while also supporting pursuit activities and helping strengthen Bureau Veritas’ positioning within the New York infrastructure market.

• Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with public-sector agencies and infrastructure owners
• Serve as a credible technical representative of Bureau Veritas in meetings, job walks, and agency interactions
• Participate in pre-bid meetings, technical briefings, and project interviews as a subject matter expert
• Support pursuit strategy by contributing field insight, technical narratives, and delivery approach recommendations
• Collaborate with business development and regional leadership on upcoming infrastructure opportunities and pipeline visibility
• Assist in go/no-go discussions by providing real-world constructability, risk, and delivery perspective
• Leverage successful project delivery to support repeat work, expanded scopes, and follow-on REI assignments

• Represent Bureau Veritas in a way that reinforces trust, reliability, and technical excellence in the NY infrastructure market
