Spenser Sheldon
@spensersheldon
I’m a construction project manager who delivers multimillion-dollar landscape and infrastructure projects with safe, efficient field execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Construction and Landscape Project Manager with more than seven years of experience leading large-scale commercial landscape construction, infrastructure, and site development across the United States. I’m known for coordinating field operations, subcontractors, procurement, scheduling, budgeting, and client relations to keep projects on track.
I’ve managed high-value projects that require tight logistics and disciplined execution—balancing safety, quality, operational efficiency, and project timelines. As a primary client contact, I resolve operational issues while maintaining long-term professional relationships built on clarity and follow-through.
In my current role, I manage a $14 million construction and urban infrastructure project in downtown Augusta, Georgia, overseeing procurement, scheduling, invoicing, subcontractor coordination, and project execution. Previously, I supported and advanced project delivery as an Assistant Project Manager, strengthening cost tracking, field coordination, documentation, and day-to-day execution with project managers and field teams.
Earlier in my career, I built my foundation through field technician and field operations roles—supporting site assessments, client-facing recommendations, and maintenance work—then expanding into estimation and project leadership. I bring a practical, field-tested mindset to every engagement, and I’m currently seeking opportunities in Europe within construction project management, infrastructure operations, landscape construction, and site development.
