THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT POSITION.
We're not looking for someone who simply wants to manage construction projects, follow schedules, and collect a paycheck. We're looking for a leader who wants to build a business within a business. Someone who sees opportunity where others see obstacles. Someone who understands that profitability matters, people development drives growth, and accountability starts with leadership.
At Wild Ridge Lawn & Landscape, we're building something bigger than a traditional landscaping company. We're challenging how the industry operates by creating a business driven by leadership, operational excellence, financial discipline, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.
We're looking for a Senior Construction Project Manager who wants to take ownership of our Construction Department's performance and help lead it into its next stage of growth.
This individual will be part of our Senior Leadership Team and have the opportunity to influence how we build, operate, and scale our construction division.
This position isn't for everyone.
If you're looking for a role where someone else makes all the decisions, manages the difficult conversations, or takes responsibility when things go wrong, this probably isn't the right opportunity. But if you're competitive, financially driven, passionate about developing people, and willing to bet on your ability to produce results, we should talk.
We're looking for an intrapreneur — someone who thinks and operates like an owner while building something extraordinary inside Wild Ridge.
ABOUT WILD RIDGE
Wild Ridge Lawn & Landscape is a growing commercial landscape construction, maintenance, irrigation, and snow management company serving commercial properties throughout Indiana and surrounding markets.
We work with general contractors, developers, municipalities, property managers, and commercial property owners to deliver high-quality outdoor environments.
Our ambitions extend far beyond where we are today.
We're building a company where exceptional leaders have the opportunity to influence the direction of the business, develop teams, improve systems, and create measurable financial results.
We believe leadership isn't defined by a title. It's defined by the ability to produce results through other people.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As our Senior Construction Project Manager, you'll take a leadership role in the financial performance, operational execution, and continued growth of our Construction Department.
You'll work directly with senior leadership, Sales, Estimating, Operations, and field teams to build a department capable of consistently delivering profitable, high-quality construction projects.
Your responsibility goes beyond managing individual jobs.
You'll be expected to:
- Drive profitable revenue growth across the Construction Department.
- Own project financial performance, job costing, forecasting, and gross margin protection.
- Lead and develop Construction Project Managers, Foremen, and field leaders.
- Establish operational systems that create predictable project execution.
- Improve labor productivity, equipment utilization, and subcontractor performance.
- Strengthen relationships with general contractors, developers, and commercial clients.
- Identify opportunities to expand construction revenue and strengthen existing partnerships.
- Build a culture of accountability, ownership, quality, and continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with senior leadership on departmental strategy, capacity planning, and long-term growth.
We aren't hiring someone to maintain the status quo. We're hiring someone to help take this department to the next level.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Performance will be measured against clear financial, operational, and leadership expectations.
- Profitable Revenue Growth
- Achieve 10% or greater annual year-over-year Construction Department revenue growth.
- Develop strong relationships that create repeat business and new construction opportunities.
-
Partner with Sales and Estimating to improve project selection, pricing, and execution.
-
Gross Profit Margin
- Achieve a minimum 55% quarterly gross profit margin on completed and financially reconciled projects.
- Review project budgets, labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor expenses regularly.
-
Identify financial risks early and implement corrective actions before profitability is compromised.
-
Customer Satisfaction
- Maintain a minimum 95% customer satisfaction score, measured through standardized customer surveys.
- Deliver professional communication, dependable execution, and proactive issue resolution.
-
Build long-term client confidence and repeat business.
-

- Maintain combined rework and warranty costs below 2% of quarterly Construction Department revenue.
- Establish effective quality-control processes and accountability throughout the department.
-
Reduce preventable mistakes, callbacks, and unnecessary costs.
-
Change Order Compliance
- Ensure 100% of required change orders receive customer authorization before work begins.
- Protect the company from scope creep, unapproved work, and preventable margin erosion.
- Establish clear processes for identifying, documenting, pricing, and approving changes.
LEADERSHIP EXPECTATIONS
We believe the strongest leaders don't simply produce great results themselves. They build teams that consistently produce great results.
As a member of our Senior Leadership Team, you'll be expected to:
- Develop Foremen and Project Managers into stronger, more independent leaders.
- Establish measurable expectations and hold people accountable.
- Create systems that allow projects to succeed without constant personal intervention.
- Identify and develop future leaders within the Construction Department.
- Lead difficult conversations professionally and address performance issues directly.
- Make decisions based on what's best for the department and Wild Ridge, not personal convenience.
- Share knowledge, improve processes, and eliminate operational bottlenecks.
- Build a department that becomes stronger, more profitable, and more capable because of your leadership.
Your success won't be measured solely by the projects you personally complete. It will be measured by the department and leaders you build.

Search Construction Project Engineer Jobs in IndianaConstruction Project Engineer Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for construction project engineers in Indiana?
Larger general contractors and engineering firms with active Indiana operations are the most consistent sponsors. Companies like Pepper Construction, Shiel Sexton, Lithko Contracting, and national firms such as Turner Construction and Skanska have sponsored construction project engineers through the H-1B program. Federal contractors working on infrastructure projects in Indiana also tend to have established sponsorship processes compared to smaller regional builders.
Which visa types are most common for construction project engineers in Indiana?
The H-1B is the most common visa for construction project engineers in Indiana, provided the role qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in civil, structural, or construction engineering. Some candidates transition from F-1 OPT, particularly graduates of Purdue University or Indiana University's engineering programs. TN visas are available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles.
Which cities in Indiana have the most construction project engineer sponsorship jobs?
Indianapolis accounts for the largest share of construction project engineer openings in Indiana, driven by commercial development, infrastructure investment, and corporate campus projects. Fort Wayne is a secondary market with steady industrial and manufacturing-related construction activity. Evansville sees project demand tied to Ohio River infrastructure and regional industrial growth. Bloomington and West Lafayette also generate engineering hiring through university-adjacent development projects.
How to find construction project engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Indiana?
Migrate Mate filters construction project engineer jobs in Indiana by visa sponsorship eligibility, saving you from manually screening hundreds of postings. Because sponsorship willingness isn't always stated in job listings, Migrate Mate focuses specifically on employers with documented sponsorship histories in construction and engineering. Searching by Indiana on Migrate Mate surfaces roles from general contractors, infrastructure firms, and specialty engineering companies actively open to international candidates.
Are there state-specific considerations for construction project engineers seeking visa sponsorship in Indiana?
Indiana does not impose state-level licensing requirements specific to construction project engineers in the way some states do for licensed Professional Engineers, though PE licensure is valued for senior roles. Employers must pay H-1B holders the prevailing wage for construction project engineer positions in the specific Indiana metropolitan area, as determined by Department of Labor wage data. Purdue University's strong civil and construction engineering programs create a regional talent pipeline that employers are familiar with when evaluating international candidates.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored construction project engineer jobs in Indiana?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
