This role owns the project from pre-construction through closeout, ensuring that budgets, schedules, selections, and communication are structured in a way that allows the field team to execute without friction.

You will manage 2-3 active projects concurrently , working in close partnership with the Superintendent to ensure alignment between office planning and field execution.

We are looking for a Project Manager who believes that most field issues originate from gaps in planning, scope clarity, or communication-and can be prevented upstream.

Budget & Financial Management

• Develop and manage project budgets, including tracking commitments and actual costs
• Manage change orders with clarity, accuracy, and timeliness

• Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural plans
• Strong working knowledge of estimating, cost tracking, and change order management

• Projects are fully planned before field execution begins
• Budgets are accurate, tracked, and protected throughout the project lifecycle
• Clients feel informed, confident, and well-managed at every stage
• The Superintendent is able to focus on execution-not chasing missing information
• Change orders are handled proactively, not reactively

• $75,000-$90,000/year , based on experience and capability
• Consistent, year-round project pipeline
• Opportunity to take on larger, more complex projects over time
• Growth path into Senior Project Manager or Operations Leadership as the company scales

• Clear structure between office and field roles - no chaos, no overlap
• Systems-driven approach - we build with intention, not reaction
