Project Manager / Senior Project Manager
Civil Engineering | Land Development | Chandler, Arizona

Do the Work You're Proud Of. Grow Into the Leader You Want to Be.
CAGE is hiring a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager to join our Chandler office and become a core part of our growing Arizona land development practice.

This is a seat for someone who is serious about their craft. You know how to run projects, you take budget and schedule personally, and you're starting to think about what the next chapter of your career looks like. Whether that means growing into a principal role, building client relationships, or developing your own team, this is a place where that trajectory is real, not a recruiting pitch.

We are actively building our Phoenix metro presence, and we want a PM who wants to grow with us. Phoenix is booming, our pipeline is strong, and this role will put you at the center of some of the most active land development work in the country.

About CAGE

CAGE is a civil engineering, surveying, and construction management firm serving private and public sector clients across the Southwest and beyond, with offices in Illinois, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina.

We specialize in land development consulting and partner with developers, architects, contractors, municipalities, school districts, and institutional clients to bring projects from concept through construction.

Our culture combines the capabilities of a multi-office firm with the energy of a growing organization. PMs here are not order-takers. You will own your projects, have direct access to senior leadership, and be trusted to make decisions. If you want to be a part of building something, this is the right environment.
