Own the Project From Preconstruction Through Closeout
BF Construction Inc is looking for an experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager who can take full ownership of projects from initial planning through final closeout.

We are not looking for someone who only manages reports, forwards emails, or depends on the Superintendent to drive the entire project.

Our Project Managers are builders.

You will plan the project before work begins, develop and drive the schedule, coordinate subcontractors and internal field crews, manage procurement and project financials, communicate with clients, and solve problems before they affect production.

This role requires someone who understands commercial construction, can manage multiple active projects, and is comfortable working in both the field and office.

You must be able to see the complete project—not just today’s issue—and consistently plan what needs to happen next.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Full Project Ownership

• Manage commercial construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout

• Take ownership of project scope, schedule, budget, procurement, documentation, and client communication

• Manage approximately three to five active projects, depending on size and complexity

• Develop a clear project-execution plan before mobilization

• Ensure projects are properly set up before crews and subcontractors arrive

• Maintain visibility into project risks, pending decisions, and upcoming milestones

Scheduling and Planning

• Personally develop, manage, and drive detailed project schedules

• Build project schedules that include procurement, permitting, inspections, subcontractor sequencing, owner milestones, and closeout

• Prepare and maintain one-week, two-week, and longer-term look-ahead schedules

• Confirm upcoming work with Superintendents, Field Leads, subcontractors, vendors, and internal crews before the week begins

• Identify schedule slippage and implement recovery or resequencing plans

• Ensure schedules reflect actual field conditions rather than outdated assumptions

• Coordinate trade sequencing so crews arrive to work that is complete and ready

Preconstruction and Buyout

• Review complete plans, specifications, contracts, and project scope before work begins

• Participate in site walks, preconstruction meetings, and project assessments

• Develop clear subcontractor bid scopes

• Solicit, review, level, and negotiate subcontractor proposals

• Identify scope gaps, exclusions, constructability issues, and project risks

• Coordinate value-engineering options with clients, consultants, and Leadership

• Establish procurement and long-lead tracking before construction begins

Field and Subcontractor Management

• Maintain regular jobsite involvement and verify actual field conditions

• Work closely with Superintendents, Field Leads, internal crews, and subcontractors

• Hold subcontractors accountable for manpower, quality, schedule, safety, and completion

• Verify work is complete and ready before releasing the next trade

• Resolve field conflicts and coordination issues before they become delays

• Coordinate inspections, access, logistics, shutdowns, equipment, and material deliveries

• Ensure work complies with plans, specifications, codes, and quality expectations

Financial Management

• Track commitments, costs, pending changes, and projected final cost

• Review subcontractor billing and vendor invoices for accuracy

• Manage change orders from initial identification through pricing, approval, execution, and collection

• Ensure scope changes are documented before disputed or unapproved work proceeds

Project Documentation and Controls

• Manage RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, procurement logs, meeting notes, and change documentation

• Review drawings, specifications, and Bluebeam markups in detail

• Ensure project documentation matches scheduled and completed work

• Maintain accurate project records and communication history

• Prepare clear weekly client and Leadership updates

• Track project decisions and action items through completion

• Manage punch lists, owner training, warranties, turnover documents, and final closeout packages

Client and Team Communication

• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams

• Lead project meetings and communicate clear expectations

• Provide concise updates that identify status, risk, impact, action, owner, and deadline

• Escalate issues early with the facts already reviewed and possible solutions prepared

• Maintain strong client relationships while protecting BF Construction’s contractual and financial interests

• Ensure the office and field are working from the same current information

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

• This is not a desk-only Project Manager role

• This is not a position where the Superintendent owns the entire schedule

• This is not simply updating reports after decisions have already been made

• This is not managing projects from a distance without understanding field conditions

• This is not waiting for Leadership to identify every risk or determine every next step

• This is not a role for someone who requires a large corporate support team to perform basic PM responsibilities

WHAT YOU BRING

• Five or more years of commercial construction Project Management experience

• Proven experience managing commercial projects from preconstruction through closeout

• Strong understanding of construction means, methods, trade sequencing, and constructability

• Demonstrated ability to personally build and maintain project schedules

• Ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously

• Experience with subcontractor buyout, contract scope development, and procurement

• Strong project-financial and change-order management experience

• Ability to read and interpret complete construction-document sets

• Strong field judgment and willingness to regularly visit active projects

• Clear and direct communication with clients, subcontractors, field teams, and Leadership

• Strong organization, urgency, accountability, and follow-through

• Comfort using digital construction-management and scheduling platforms

PREFERRED SOFTWARE EXPERIENCE

• Smartsheet

• Microsoft Project

• Bluebeam Revu

• Microsoft 365

• Dropbox

• Slack

• Procore or comparable construction-management platforms

• SiteCam or comparable field-documentation systems

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Projects are fully planned and properly set up before construction begins

• Schedules are accurate, current, and actively drive field execution

• Trades move in the proper sequence without unnecessary downtime

• Long-lead materials and procurement risks are addressed early

• Subcontractors understand their scope, schedule, and responsibilities

• Change orders are identified, documented, approved, and collected

• Financial risks are addressed before project profitability is affected

• Project documentation accurately reflects the work

• Clients receive clear communication and continue to trust BF Construction

• Superintendents and field teams receive the direction and support they need

• Leadership is not surprised by preventable project issues

• Projects finish safely, on schedule, within budget, and to BF Construction’s quality standards

HARD REQUIREMENT
Candidates must have direct commercial construction Project Management experience and must be able to personally own project schedules, subcontractor coordination, project financials, procurement, and project execution from preconstruction through closeout.

If your experience is limited to administrative coordination or monitoring projects managed by others, this is not the right role.
