Construction / Shoring - Project Manager (N. Idaho)
Kulchin Foundation Drilling Co. | Full-Time
ABOUT KULCHIN
Since 1998, Kulchin Foundation Drilling Co. has delivered specialty geotechnical construction across the western United States: drilled foundations, shoring and underpinning, landslide remediation, micropiles, and permanent retaining walls. We are selective about the projects we take, which lets us keep the work personal, creative, and team-oriented. Our clients return because we bring expertise early, find value in the design, and deliver safely. You can depend on Kulchin, and we are looking for a Project Manager our clients and crews can depend on, too.
THE ROLE
This is a bid-driven role.Our Project Manager wins profitable work and then delivers it. You will own the bid from document review to award, then carry that estimate into execution as the manager of record for multiple concurrent projects. The strongest candidate is someone who can accurately price complex, risk-heavy scopes and has the contract and project management discipline to hit the numbers they bid. You do not need a drilling background. We will teach you our methods, equipment, and field operations. You will be part of the Kulchin project team supported out of the Lakewood, WA headquarters. This role will support N. Idaho and surrounding areas and we are looking for candidates within that geography.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Estimating & Bidding (the core of this role)
- Own the bid. Review plans, specifications, geotechnical reports, and bid documents; perform quantity takeoffs; and build accurate, competitive, defensible estimates.
- Price risk correctly. Use production rates, cost-per-unit benchmarks, and vendor and subcontractor quotes, and account for subsurface variability, contract terms, and scope gaps.
- Lead the bid/no-bid call. Recommend which work to pursue based on margin, risk, contract language, and crew and equipment capacity.
- Win through value. Evaluate method trade-offs on cost, schedule, and risk, and identify value-engineering options that set Kulchin apart from the low bidder.
- Close the loop. Submit proposals with clear clarifications and exclusions, negotiate with GCs and owners, and compare actual job costs to estimates to sharpen every future bid.
- Team – you will be part of a team that will provide support with complex elements. You need to be someone who will engage the proper internal resources to ensure accuracy of bids.
Project Delivery
- Manage multiple projects from mobilization to closeout: schedule, budget, cost-to-complete forecasting, billing, and retainage.
- Run submittals, RFIs, change orders, and claims documentation, and protect the company when scope or ground conditions change.
- Plan crews and equipment with superintendents and field leadership. Conduct regular site visits and uphold Kulchin’s safety and quality standards on every job.
- Build lasting relationships with GCs, owners, design engineers, subcontractors, and vendors; mentor project coordinators and engineers.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Bidding and estimating: a proven record of preparing and winning bids for complex construction work, and of accurately forecasting job cost. Be ready to discuss specific bids you have priced and won.
- Experience: 5+ years in construction project management, with 2+ years at the senior level, with preference in specialty foundation, heavy civil, site work, or specialty subcontracting.
- Scale: managed multiple projects in the $1M–$5M range, with experience handling subcontractors, change orders, and claims.
- Contracts and technical reading: comfort with contract documents, specs, and geotechnical reports and boring logs, and with identifying risk in them.
- Tools: proficiency with MS Office, project management, scheduling, and estimating software (HCSS, P6, Procore, or equivalent).
- Credentials: degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Preferred, not required: experience with drilled shafts, micropiles, shoring, soil nailing, or other specialty foundation work; familiarity with DFI and ADSC; design-build experience.
WHY KULCHIN
A selective, team-oriented company with 25+ years of specialty expertise, early involvement on projects, a safety-first culture, and room to grow. We will train you on drilling methods and support you from day one.

Construction Project Manager Jobs in Idaho: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a construction project manager in Idaho?
Most construction project managers in Idaho enter through a combination of a bachelor's degree in construction management or civil engineering and several years of field experience as a superintendent or project engineer. Idaho does not issue a separate state license for project managers, but anyone managing projects under a general contractor must work within a licensed entity regulated by the Idaho Contractors Board. Earning a PMP or CCM credential strengthens candidacy considerably with Idaho's larger commercial and public-sector employers.
How much do construction project managers make in Idaho?
Construction project managers in Idaho earn a median of about $104,600 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $56,220 for the lowest 10% to over $162,390 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire construction project managers in Idaho?
Employers hiring construction project managers in Idaho right now include WGNSTAR, Skanska, and Cochran, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Idaho's sustained population growth in the Treasure Valley and ongoing state infrastructure investment keep a broad range of commercial, civil, and specialty contractors actively recruiting.
Which Idaho cities have the most construction project manager jobs?
The cities with the most construction project manager openings in Idaho are Boise, Pocatello, and Idaho Falls. Boise drives the largest share because of its concentration of regional contractor headquarters, healthcare system expansions, and rapid commercial development, while cities like Meridian and Idaho Falls generate openings through major municipal infrastructure projects and the growth of industrial and distribution facilities.
Are there remote construction project manager jobs in Idaho?
Yes, but they're rare. Construction project management is fundamentally a site-presence role, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 33% of construction project manager openings tied to Idaho are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to involve pre-construction planning, estimating, or program management functions that don't require daily site visits.
How can I get hired as a construction project manager in Idaho with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a project engineer or field superintendent assistant with a mid-size Idaho general contractor, then building toward a PM title over two to four years. Firms like Petra Inc. and Engineered Structures Inc. regularly hire new graduates from Boise State University's construction management program into junior project roles. Obtaining an OSHA 30 certificate and becoming proficient in Procore before your first interview gives you a measurable edge over candidates who lack field-ready credentials.
Where can I find and apply to construction project manager jobs in Idaho?
You can find and apply to construction project manager jobs in Idaho on Migrate Mate, which lists current Idaho openings. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and target location, and apply directly to whichever positions fit your background.
