Careers at Vertex

Build things
that matter.
With people
who care.

Vertex is a place where project managers run real projects — not admin queues. Where field supervisors have authority to make decisions. And where your work is on the skyline, not a slide deck.

We hire for craft, not just credentials.

A PM license matters. But so does the instinct to walk a site before you pick up the phone. We look for people who are curious about how things actually work — not just how to document that they worked.

Real projects. Real accountability.

Every project manager at Vertex owns their project. That means the schedule, the owner relationship, and the punchlist. We don't layer five levels of management between a PM and a decision. You'll have support, but you'll also have authority.

We promote internally. Consistently.

Derek Fontaine started as a field engineer. Angela Tran joined as a junior sustainability coordinator. The path upward at Vertex is real — and it's faster than it looks from the outside.

Safety isn't a poster on the wall.

Zero lost-time incidents in 2023 didn't happen by accident. Josh Merritt's safety program is rigorous, practical, and taken seriously by everyone from the C-suite to the newest field hire. OSHA VPP Star doesn't come from paperwork — it comes from culture.

Benefits

What we actually
offer.

Competitive Compensation

Salaries benchmarked annually against ENR and local market data. Plus performance bonuses tied to project outcomes — not just hours logged.

Full Medical, Dental & Vision

100% employer-paid premiums for employees. Competitive dependent coverage. No waiting period after 30 days.

401(k) with 4% Match

Vested immediately. We match 4% of your salary, dollar for dollar. You shouldn't have to wait two years for your retirement match to belong to you.

Training & Certification Support

Full reimbursement for OSHA, LEED AP, PMP, and other industry certifications. Study time is treated as professional development, not personal time.

Generous PTO

20 days from day one, plus 10 company holidays. We expect you to actually use it. Project managers who are burnt out don't run good projects.

Relocation Assistance

For select roles requiring relocation to Dallas, Austin, or Houston, we provide a structured relocation package. Details discussed at offer stage.
