Access Limited brings over a century of steep-slope expertise and operates North America’s largest fleet of spider excavators, delivering complex rockfall and geotechnical solutions in the most challenging environments. RoadGuard, founded in 2024, unites industry-leading roadway safety companies providing guardrail, bridge railing, highway signage, fencing, and specialty fabrication services. Across all our businesses, we are driven by innovation, extreme ownership, technical excellence, and a relentless commitment to measurable results that improve safety and infrastructure resilience. Our Culture At GSI, our culture is about being nimble but strong, fast-paced while team oriented, innovative, data-driven, and most importantly, client-focused.

Everyone working at GSI is a representation of pride, integrity, hard work, skill and overcoming challenges. GSI's team includes some of the brightest and most dedicated professionals in the geohazard mitigation industry. We are an ever-evolving group of dedicated, hardworking, individuals who aren't afraid of going the extra mile to get the job done. The Role This role is built for a Project Manager or Estimator who knows how jobs actually get won and built, and wants more control over both. The Project Development Manager - Geotech Construction leads the technical and estimating side of pursuits, shaping how work is scoped, priced, and executed before it reaches the field. If you've spent the last 5-7 years building bids, developing means & methods, figuring out how to deliver work without losing margin, and fixing problems that started in preconstruction, this role moves you upstream. This is not proposal support. You are responsible for client confidence, solution creativity, building the approach, aligning the numbers, and de-risking the work. Equally important is the hunger to identify new opportunities, build lasting client relationships, and grow a book of work in the region. This is a heavily incentivized career path, and the earning potential scales directly with your ability to hustle, close, and deliver. Approximately 75% engineering, estimating, and pursuit execution; 25% client interaction, commercial strategy, and pipeline building.
