This position is ideal for a proven project leader who has successfully delivered several high-dollar, large-square-foot educational facilities-from greenfield development and preconstruction through final closeout. You will take full ownership of project performance while building trusted relationships with school districts, higher-education clients, design partners, subcontractors, and internal teams.

What You'll Do

• Lead complex, ground-up K-12 and higher-education construction projects from preconstruction through closeout.
• Manage project budgets, forecasting, billing, contingencies, and change orders.
• Develop and maintain CPM schedules, logistics plans, procurement strategies, and performance benchmarks.
• Direct subcontractor buyout, contract negotiations, scope coordination, and compliance.
• Partner closely with Superintendents to align field operations, staffing, sequencing, safety, and quality.
• Lead owner, architect, subcontractor, and internal project meetings.
• Identify risks early and resolve design, scope, cost, logistics, and scheduling challenges.
• Maintain accurate project documentation and ensure timely completion of all closeout requirements.
• Serve as the primary client contact and build relationships that support repeat business.
• Mentor project engineers, assistant project managers, and other junior team members.

What We're Looking For

• Approximately eight or more years of construction management experience.
• Demonstrated success completing several large, high-value K-12 or higher-education construction projects.
• Full project lifecycle experience, including greenfield development, preconstruction, procurement, construction, commissioning, and closeout.
• Advanced knowledge of construction contracts, project financials, scheduling, sequencing, risk management, and change management.
• Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency with Procore and scheduling and construction technology such as P6, Microsoft Project, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.
• OSHA 30 certification or the ability to obtain it within 12 months.
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel based on project needs.
