We handle projects from early planning and permitting through sitework, concrete, and final construction — all under one roof. We’re looking for an experienced Construction Project Manager who wants real ownership, clear processes, and the ability to run jobs the right way — not chase chaos. This role is for someone who knows how to manage people, schedules, and numbers, and who takes pride in delivering clean, well-run projects. What You’ll Be Responsible For As a Project Manager, you’ll own projects from handoff to closeout. That means: Preconstruction & Planning • Review sales proposals, plans, and scopes before projects kick off, • Identify risks early and help set realistic schedules and expectations, • Coordinate permitting, site prep, and trade sequencing Field Execution • Manage subcontractors, vendors, and field crews, • Conduct site visits and ensure work is executed to plan, schedule, and quality standards, • Solve problems proactively and keep jobs moving forward Financial Control • Track budgets, costs, change orders, and vendor invoices, • Maintain clean documentation and accurate job costing, • Protect margins while delivering a quality product Client Communication & Closeout • Act as the primary point of contact for clients throughout construction, • Provide clear updates, manage expectations, and address issues head-on, • Oversee punch lists, final inspections, and project closeout You’ll typically manage multiple projects at a time, each with full responsibility for schedule, budget, and client experience.
