Requisition ID: 181463

Job Level: Senior Level

Home District/Group: South Central District

Position Overview

The purpose of this role is to improve the effectiveness, consistency, and long-term capability of the South Central District survey organization. This position partners with the District Survey Manager to drive operational excellence by scheduling operations, improving processes, coordinating initiatives, developing people, supporting project teams, and ensuring district standards are consistently implemented.

District Overview

Kiewit's South Central District is one of Kiewit's leading infrastructure districts specializing in heavy civil, transportation, and water resource markets. Projects you could be working on could include mass grading, drainage, paving, utility and more. Although most of our work is regionally based in the south-central region of the United States, we also pursue various projects stretching across the United States. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about infrastructure and committed to the construction industry as opposed to design.

Location

One of the many things that makes Kiewit's culture unique is that we go where the work is, which exposes your career to abundant opportunities. We relocate our teams based on the work that is available, combined with the development plans, skill sets and career goals of each team member. This means your Kiewit adventure is custom-designed to meet our shared needs.
