What You’ll Do

As a Project Manager, you’ll take the lead on jobs that are technical, fast-moving, and often high-profile. You’ll be responsible for delivering results—on time, on budget, and with excellence—while building lasting partnerships with clients, designers, subcontractors, and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the full lifecycle of your projects—from precon to closeout.
  • Develop and maintain budgets, schedules, and site logistics plans.
  • Collaborate with field leadership and trade partners to drive day-to-day execution.
  • Anticipate issues before they become problems.

  • Help win future work through strong performance and relationship-building.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of project management experience in commercial construction (healthcare, education, industrial, or public sector experience a plus).
  • A degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or similar—or equivalent field experience.
  • Deep knowledge of construction means, methods, and sequencing.
  • Strong leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure.
  • Experience with construction technology (Procore, P6, Bluebeam, etc.).

Why This Role

  • In-House Talent. Work with top-notch superintendents and support team. 
  • Resources to Win. Backed by cutting-edge technology, solid financials, and one of the region’s most respected leadership teams.
  • Built to Last. A values-driven company that’s been around for years and is still growing.
  • Culture of Grit & Integrity. You’ll be part of a team that always delivers.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonus
  • Full health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • PTO, paid holidays, and more
  • Career development & leadership training
  • Supportive, driven team that’s focused on doing things the right way
