Position Summary

The Project Manager (PM) leads assigned commercial self-perform projects from preconstruction through closeout. The PM is

project financials, schedules, billing, change management, field coordination, and closeout while leading Liberty crews and

coordinating clients, trade partners, and internal teams.

Mission

Deliver every assigned project safely, profitably, and on schedule. Manage each job with a business-owner mindset: understand

the margin, bill accurately, capture change-order revenue, and resolve issues before they affect the work.

• Client satisfaction: Earn a “would hire again” rating from 90%+ of clients at closeout and generate at least one repeat or referral opportunity annually.
• Closeout: Deliver warranties, O manuals, as-builts, and lien releases within 30 days of substantial completion; collect retainage on schedule.
