• Ability to manage multiple active projects

Our Project Managers are an important part of both the client experience and the success of our projects. We are looking for someone who enjoys being involved throughout the construction process and working closely with owners, superintendents, subcontractors, and the rest of the Hammers team.

The right person for this role is a strong communicator, organized, solutions-oriented, and comfortable managing the many moving pieces of a commercial construction project.
