Job Description

This position is for Program Manager of Roofing Services in the Facilities Service Line (FAC) of the Texas Division. This is a new position.

This position aligns with the Terracon position of Senior Facilities Consultant, which acts as a resource to the whole firm and specializes in the application of advanced theories, concepts and principles for a major discipline. While this position will originally focus on the Texas Division, success will create the opportunity to expand to the Central Operating Group and adjacent regions, potentially becoming a national position.

This position will be a critical role in the Texas Division. Terracon has prioritized development of this position as a strategic move toward accelerated growth and geographical expansion of roofing service offerings in the Texas market. During this development period, this role will include the responsibilities of a Senior Project Manager on proposals and projects, especially on projects of complexity.
