About the Role

Nimble is looking for a Construction Project Manager to lead the buildout and retrofit of warehouse fulfillment center sites that house our automation systems. You'll own projects from pre-construction through hand off to our operations team, coordinating contractors, engineers, and internal teams to deliver facilities on schedule and on budget. This role is a strong fit for a PM with hands-on warehouse or commercial construction experience who's comfortable managing multiple active sites and a fast-moving construction schedule.
What You'll Do

• Manage construction projects for new warehouse buildouts and existing facility retrofits from design through completion and closeout.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and scopes of work; track progress against milestones and flag risks early.
• Act as the general contractor on assigned sites, serving as the primary point of contact for subcontractors, architects, and engineers.
• Organize and run project meetings as needed, including kickoffs, progress check-ins, and coordination meetings with contractors and internal teams.
• Work closely with internal departments across the project, holding them accountable to their commitments and proactively pushing to keep deliverables on track to meet deadlines.
• Conduct regular site visits and walkthroughs to monitor quality, safety compliance, and schedule adherence.
• Own the permit submission process from start to finish: work with PEs (Professional Engineers) to design and produce stamped drawings, meet directly with AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) to review requirements, submit complete permit packages, and coordinate inspections through approval.
• Support vendor and contractor bidding, selection, and contract negotiation.
• Maintain clear, consistent project documentation and status reporting for internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Identify and resolve conflicts between construction scope and operational or automation requirements.
• Respond to and resolve issues raised by onsite contractors, working quickly with the right stakeholders to keep work moving without delaying the schedule.
• Work with Accounting to create and process purchase orders for vendors and contractors
• Manage smaller-scope projects independently: identifying issues, collaborating with engineering to develop solutions, and driving each project through to completion.
• Coordinate with existing warehouse operations teams to schedule installations and retrofits

What You'll Need

• 3-7 years of experience as a Project Manager in commercial, industrial, or warehouse construction.
• Demonstrated experience managing projects independently, from pre-construction through closeout.
• Working knowledge of construction documents, budgets, schedules (e.g., MS Project or similar), and contract structures (AIA, GC/CM, or similar).
• Ability to read and interpret full construction drawing sets, including architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and civil drawings.
• Familiarity with building systems relevant to warehouse environments; electrical, mechanical, structural, and fire/life safety.
• Strong organizational and communication skills; comfortable managing multiple contractors and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Travel is expected and will be important to maintaining an active presence onsite throughout the project lifecycle.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on technical construction skills and comfort using hand and power tools.
• Experience with fulfillment center, distribution center, or automated warehouse buildouts.
• Exposure to robotics, automation, or MHE (material handling equipment) integration timelines.
• OSHA 30-Hour certification.
• Experience working directly with landlords, developers, or third-party logistics (3PL) operators.

Compensation

The pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $140,000 and $200,000/year . Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to cash compensation, this position will also receive generous equity for this position.

Culture:

We want to create something legendary and leave our mark on the world. We're ambitious, we're gritty, we're humble and we're relentlessly resourceful in pursuit of our goals. If this sounds like you then you might be a great fit!
