Project Manager (Raleigh)

Structural Steel Project Manager

Atlanta, GA | Permanent | Office-Based

Are you a structural steel Project Manager who wants to take ownership of your projects from handoff through delivery?

An established structural steel fabricator is expanding its Atlanta project management team and looking for a PM to support a strong and growing project workload.

This is an office-based position , working directly with customers, General Contractors, detailing, fabrication, vendors, erectors and internal teams to keep structural steel projects moving.

What will you be responsible for?

You'll typically have 4–10 active projects on your desk, with responsibility for keeping the commercial, technical and delivery sides aligned.

Your week could involve reviewing drawings and contracts, resolving an RFI with the design team, coordinating a change with the GC, checking where a fabrication package sits in production, arranging deliveries or reviewing the latest project costs.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Owning structural steel projects from contract handoff through delivery
• Reviewing drawings, contracts and project requirements
• Managing RFIs, changes, purchase orders and subcontracts
• Coordinating with GCs, customers, vendors, detailers and erectors
• Leading and attending project meetings
• Maintaining schedules and tracking key milestones
• Coordinating fabrication and steel deliveries
• Working closely with production, shipping and other internal departments
• Reviewing vendor invoices and project costs
• Preparing monthly WIP cost projections
• Coordinating pay applications
• Visiting project sites when required

What kind of background works?

We're primarily looking for someone who already understands structural steel project delivery .

Around 5–7 years of PM experience would be attractive, but there is flexibility around the exact number of years.

You could already be an established Steel Project Manager, or you might be an Assistant/Developing PM ready for more ownership . Candidates from a General Contractor environment could also be considered if their structural steel exposure is strong enough.

You'll need to be comfortable reading structural drawings and coordinating multiple moving parts without losing sight of cost, schedule or the customer.

Experience with Bluebeam, PDFs, Microsoft Project, Excel and Word is also important.

A two-year associate degree is requested, although extensive directly relevant experience may offset the degree requirement . A four-year Engineering, Construction Management or related degree would be a plus.

What does the opportunity offer?

This is growth hiring , with additional PM capacity being added to support a substantial pipeline of structural steel work.

You'll be joining an experienced, collaborative team where projects can be matched to your current capability, with the opportunity to take on larger and more complex assignments as you develop .

Compensation will depend on experience. As a guide, candidates with around 3–5 years of relevant experience may sit in the high-$70Ks to low-$90Ks , while stronger and more experienced PMs can be considered above $90K . This is guidance rather than a fixed salary cap.

The package also includes:

• 15 days PTO , pro rata
• Healthcare and family-plan options
• Potential discretionary bonus
• Permanent salaried employment
• Long-term progression opportunities

The setup

This role is based in Atlanta, GA and is office-based Monday through Friday , with occasional travel to project sites as required.

It's best suited to someone who likes being close to the action; communicating with the shop, solving problems, talking to customers and keeping several steel projects moving at once.

If you've built your experience around structural steel fabrication and project delivery and you're ready for a role with genuine project ownership, I'd be interested in speaking with you.
