About the Role

UHC Construction Services is seeking a Construction Project Manager to oversee commercial construction projects from planning through closeout.

This role is responsible for keeping projects organized, on schedule, within scope, and aligned with client expectations. The Project Manager will work closely with Superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, clients, and internal teams to ensure successful project execution.

This is a full-time, in-office role based in Northfield, OH. This is not a remote or hybrid position. Travel is required as needed for site visits, client meetings, pre-construction meetings, punch walks, and project-specific needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage commercial construction projects from planning through closeout.
• Oversee multiple projects in different phases, including startup, active construction, punch, and closeout.
• Coordinate with Superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, clients, and internal teams.
• Keep projects on schedule, within scope, and aligned with client expectations.
• Review drawings, specifications, scopes of work, schedules, and project requirements.
• Track project progress, risks, action items, materials, manpower, inspections, documentation, and closeout requirements.
• Communicate project updates, issues, changes, and next steps clearly with clients and internal stakeholders.
• Manage small change orders and coordinate larger or multi-subcontractor change orders with UHC's cost management team.
• Work with field Superintendents to verify work is completed safely, accurately, and according to project specifications.
• Support fast-paced commercial remodels, rollouts, build-outs, ground-up projects, and live-environment construction.
• Maintain strong client relationships through follow-through, professionalism, urgency, and practical problem-solving.

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years of project management experience in commercial construction.
• Experience managing commercial remodels, rollouts, build-outs, ground-up projects, tenant improvements, or similar work.
• Ability to manage multiple active projects across different phases and locations.
• Strong understanding of construction schedules, subcontractor coordination, drawings, specifications, change orders, documentation, and closeout.
• Ability to work full-time from UHC's Northfield, OH office.
• Willingness to travel up to 30% as project needs require.
• Strong communication skills with clients, Superintendents, subcontractors, vendors, and internal teams.
• Ability to solve problems, drive follow-through, and keep projects moving in a fast-paced environment.
• High level of professionalism, integrity, attention to detail, and client-service orientation.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with national retail, restaurant, grocery, hospitality, healthcare, automotive, or quick-service restaurant projects.
• Experience with fast-turn commercial projects, live remodels, rollouts, or short-duration schedules.
• Ground-up commercial construction experience.
• Experience working with Superintendents who manage sites while the PM supports from the office.
• Experience with union and non-union subcontractor environments.
• Familiarity with Monday.com, Sage Construction Management, Airtable, Microsoft Project, customer portals, Excel, Word, or similar tools.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field is preferred but not required.

Important Role Details

This is not an estimating-heavy Project Manager role. UHC has a dedicated cost management team. Project Managers are focused on project execution, scheduling, client communication, coordination, field support, change order coordination, and successful delivery.

Travel is required, but this is not intended to be a weekly travel-lifestyle role. UHC values keeping PMs productive in the office and traveling when project or client needs require it.

The best-fit candidate understands fast-paced commercial construction and knows how to prevent delays before they impact the project.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive annual salary: $85,000-$115,000+, depending on experience.
• Annual discretionary performance-based bonus potential.
• 401(k) retirement savings program with employer matching.
• Profit sharing.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off, including holidays, vacation, and sick leave.
• Company vehicle / vehicle support and fuel allowance where applicable.
• Uniforms where applicable.
• Referral bonus program.
• Company events, outings, and annual trips.
• Access to manufacturer training, OSHA, fall protection, lift certifications, and other development opportunities.

What Makes Someone Successful Here

• You can manage several moving projects without losing track of details.
• You communicate clearly and follow through.
• You understand that schedule delays need to be addressed quickly.
• You can work well with Superintendents, subcontractors, clients, and internal teams.
• You are comfortable in a fast-paced commercial construction environment.
