Project Manager

Company Overview:

Centrex is not your average construction company; we are committed to building epic projects, challenging the traditional mold of commodity centered commercial construction. With a focus on private aviation, you will have the opportunity to work with a passionate team, being an integral part of delivering industry changing results along the way. Centrex actively embraces the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a robust goal-setting methodology that channels our organizational focus into six key elements: Vision, People, Data, Process, Traction, and Issues.

Position Summary:

As a Project Manager on the Centrex team, you will own the day-to-day delivery of commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. You will be responsible for keeping your projects on time, within budget, and built to the highest standards of quality and safety, working closely with our Superintendents, Senior Project Managers, and leadership team.

The ideal candidate has run commercial projects as a Project Manager and is ready to take on larger, more complex work. You know how to manage subcontractors, keep owners informed, and protect the budget, and you are looking for a company where strong performance leads to more responsibility. Experience with aviation, industrial, or other large clear-span buildings is a plus but not required.

This role is best suited for a dynamic, results-oriented individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about delivering excellence in every aspect of their work. You will have the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of projects, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project Planning & Execution: Manage your projects from preconstruction and buyout through closeout, including scheduling, procurement, and coordination between design and field teams. Ensure all phases are completed on time, within scope, and on budget.
• Team Coordination: Lead the project team on your jobs, including subcontractors, suppliers, architects, and engineers, and partner with the Superintendent to keep the office and field aligned. Direct the work of Project Engineers or Assistant Project Managers where assigned.
• Client Communication: Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for owners and their representatives. Provide regular updates on project progress and address any concerns promptly.
• Budget Management: Manage project budgets, cost reports, and forecasts, and process change orders and pay applications. Report on project cost and profitability to the Senior Project Manager and leadership.
• Contracts & Documentation: Prepare and manage subcontracts, purchase orders, submittals, RFIs, meeting minutes, and closeout documentation.
• Quality & Safety: Maintain high standards of quality across all aspects of the project. Conduct regular site visits and ensure compliance with all relevant codes, standards, and safety regulations.
• Risk Management: Identify potential project risks and develop mitigation strategies. Proactively address issues to minimize impact on project timelines and budgets, and escalate when needed.

Qualifications:

• 5-8+ years of experience in commercial construction Project Management, including at least 3 years as a Project Manager running projects on your own, with a proven track record of delivering projects in the $5-$20M range from start to finish.
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or a related field is strongly preferred. Professional certifications (e.g., PMP, CCM, LEED AP) will be considered a plus.
• Proven ability to lead project teams, including subcontractors, architects, engineers, and owner representatives. Experience mentoring Project Engineers or Assistant Project Managers is a plus.
• A strong focus on client satisfaction, with experience managing client expectations and keeping their needs met throughout the project lifecycle.
• Solid working knowledge of construction contracts, cost control, scheduling, and change management, and proficiency in construction management software, scheduling tools, and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Experience with aviation, industrial, or pre-engineered metal building projects is a plus.
• OSHA 30-hour certification and other relevant safety training are preferred.
