Government/Public Works Construction Project Manager

The company is currently adding a Project Manager to its core team to oversee a major government renovation project in the Bronx.

The position offers a salary of $120,000–$150,000, depending on experience and the complexity of projects previously managed, with additional discretionary performance-based bonuses and opportunities for advancement into a Senior Project Manager role.

• Maintain strong organization and adaptability while managing changing site logistics, including occasional night work when required by project conditions.
