We’re seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager who knows how to take complex commercial construction projects from concept to completion—without losing sight of quality, budget, or relationships. This role is built for someone who can see the big picture, lead high-performing teams, and confidently navigate the challenges of large-scale construction.

If you’re ready to take ownership of impactful projects and mentor the next generation of builders, this is your seat at the table.

As a Senior Project Manager, you’ll operate at both a strategic and tactical level—owning outcomes while empowering your team.

  • Lead multiple commercial construction projects or one large, high-profile build from preconstruction through closeout
  • Develop and manage project budgets, schedules, and contracts
  • Build strong relationships with clients, architects, and key stakeholders
  • Guide preconstruction efforts including estimating, value engineering, and procurement strategy
  • Partner with Superintendents to ensure seamless field execution
  • Identify risks early and drive proactive solutions
  • Oversee subcontractor performance, negotiations, and compliance
  • Mentor Project Managers and Project Engineers, strengthening the overall team
  • Ensure projects meet or exceed safety, quality, and financial targets

What You Bring

  • 8–12+ years of experience in commercial construction project management
  • Proven track record managing large or complex projects ($10M+ preferred)
  • Deep understanding of construction processes, contracts, and cost control
  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to influence teams and clients
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills
  • Ability to balance big-picture strategy with day-to-day execution

What Sets You Apart

  • Experience leading multiple project teams simultaneously
  • Background in healthcare, mixed-use, industrial, or high-rise construction
  • Proficiency with project management tools (Procore, Primavera P6, Bluebeam, etc.)
  • A reputation for delivering under pressure while maintaining strong relationships

Why Join Us

  • Lead high-impact, visible projects that shape communities
  • Be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking leadership team
  • Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives
  • Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO)
  • Opportunities for advancement into executive leadership
