Job Description

Senior Project Manager - Construction

If you’re a proven construction leader who knows how to drive projects, lead teams, and keep clients coming back, this could be the kind of opportunity worth a serious look.

A highly respected, financially stable Beloit/Rockford area commercial general contractor with decades of success and a strong backlog of work is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead key projects and help develop the next generation of talent.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Established company with strong reputation and long-term stability
  • Consistent backlog of quality projects
  • Diverse work across multiple market sectors
  • Leadership team that values experience and trusts its people
  • Strong compensation, benefits, and long-term growth opportunity

What You’ll Do

  • Lead projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Manage schedules, budgets, contracts, change orders, and client relationships
  • Oversee project teams, field leadership, and subcontractor coordination
  • Drive project execution, problem-solving, and accountability
  • Mentor Project Managers, APMs, and emerging talent
  • Maintain a high standard of service that leads to repeat business

What They’re Looking For

  • Project management experience with a commercial general contractor
  • Proven success leading ground-up and/or renovation projects
  • Strong financial management and operational instincts
  • Ability to lead teams while keeping projects on track
  • Professional presence with owners, architects, and internal leadership

Bottom Line

This is an opportunity to join a respected builder where leadership matters, your voice carries weight, and strong performers are rewarded.
