What You'll Do

  • Project Leadership: Own assigned projects end to end - preconstruction through punch list and closeout

  • Budget & Cost Control: Manage project budgets, track costs against estimate, forecast margin, and prepare monthly billing and projections

  • Subcontractor Management: Lead subcontractor buyout, negotiate and issue contracts, manage scope, and resolve performance issues

  • Submittals & RFIs: Manage the submittal log, process RFIs, and coordinate with architects and engineers to keep information flowing ahead of the field

  • Change Management: Identify, price, and negotiate change orders; maintain documentation that protects the project

  • Scheduling: Build and maintain the project schedule in coordination with the superintendent; drive look-ahead planning and recovery when needed

  • Client Relationship: Serve as the primary point of contact for owners, architects, and client representatives

  • Safety & Quality: Partner with the Safety Manager and field leadership to uphold OSHA compliance and quality standards

What You'll Need

  • 5+ years of project management experience in commercial building construction - ground-up, renovation, multifamily, or interiors

  • Demonstrated ownership of project budgets and schedules

  • Strong command of subcontractor buyout, submittals, RFIs, and change order processes

  • Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings and specifications

  • OSHA 30-Hour certification

  • Proficiency with construction management and scheduling software (MS Project, Excel, Procore, Corecon, or Timberline)

  • Strong written and verbal communication; comfort as the owner-facing voice on a project

  • Willingness to travel to job sites within approximately a 60-mile radius

Preferred

  • Degree in Construction Management, Architecture, Engineering, or a related field
