This is an opportunity to join a stable, successful construction organization with a strong presence in the Capital Region and a consistent portfolio of commercial building projects.

Position Overview

The Project Manager will be responsible for managing commercial construction projects from preconstruction and project startup through construction, completion, and closeout. The level of responsibility will be tailored to the individual's experience, with more senior candidates expected to independently manage projects and provide leadership to project teams.

Responsibilities may include:

• Managing projects from startup through completion and closeout
• Developing and maintaining project schedules and coordinating key milestones
• Managing RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and project documentation
• Coordinating subcontractors, vendors, architects, engineers, owners, and internal project teams
• Monitoring project budgets, commitments, costs, forecasting, and overall financial performance
• Working closely with Superintendents to coordinate field activities, scheduling, manpower, and project execution
• Identifying and resolving project issues before they affect schedule, cost, or quality
• Managing owner and subcontractor relationships throughout the project
• Supporting or leading project meetings and communicating project status to key stakeholders

More experienced candidates should have demonstrated success independently managing commercial construction projects and taking responsibility for project schedule, cost, quality, client relationships, and successful completion.
