We are looking for a Project Manager to oversee commercial construction projects in a multi-trade subcontractor environment, with direct ownership of project execution from award through closeout. This role will focus on drywall, acoustical, flooring, and metal framing scopes and requires strong knowledge of commercial construction processes, drawings, specifications, scheduling, and project costs. The Project Manager will work directly with customers, general contractors, field teams, vendors, and subcontractors to keep projects progressing on schedule and within budget. This is a hands-on project leadership role for a candidate with approximately 3–8 years of relevant commercial construction experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead commercial drywall, acoustical, flooring, and metal framing projects from contract award through final completion and closeout.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, scopes, and execution plans to keep work aligned with contract requirements.
• Review construction drawings, specifications, submittals, and project documents to identify scope requirements, conflicts, and potential project issues.
• Communicate directly with general contractors, customers, field teams, vendors, and subcontractors to resolve issues and maintain project progress.
• Track project costs, change orders, material requirements, labor needs, and other financial impacts throughout construction.
• Monitor field progress and work with field leadership to address scheduling, quality, production, and project execution issues.
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, project documentation, and closeout requirements to keep deliverables moving on schedule.
• Apply knowledge of commercial construction methods, materials, building processes, and project requirements to support effective field execution.
• Identify potential delays, cost impacts, and scope issues early and develop practical solutions to keep projects on track.

Requirements

• 3–8 years of experience in commercial construction project management, preferably within drywall, acoustical, flooring, metal framing, or related interior trades.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Building Construction, Mathematics, or a related field preferred.
• Strong knowledge of commercial construction drawings, specifications, materials, and the overall building process.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications.
• Experience using construction or project management software preferred.
• Strong communication, organizational, analytical, negotiation, problem-solving, and time-management skills.
• Must have direct project ownership experience in a commercial construction environment; candidates limited to administrative coordination or project support will not be a strong fit.
• Ability to manage multiple project priorities while maintaining accurate documentation, schedules, budgets, and client communication.

Benefits

• Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience.
• Benefits may include health insurance, retirement plan options, paid time off, and other company-sponsored programs.
