Project Manager | Adaptive Reuse & Historic Remodel

Project Manager

The go-to name in adaptive re-use & historic remodel builds across the Midwest. Track record of growth. The last 3 PM's have been promoted to SPM & PX.

100+ year-old, fourth-generation family-owned GC with a national footprint and a growing Milwaukee operation. They've built a niche in adaptive reuse and historic renovation, turning that expertise into a $100M+ business unit, while expanding into ground-up construction. With roughly $500M in revenue, extensive self-perform capabilities, and a lean Wisconsin team, they offer the best of both worlds: the resources and stability of a national contractor with the autonomy and visibility of a mid-market firm.

Job Description

• Own projects from preconstruction through closeout
• Lead planning, budgeting, scheduling, buyout and execution
• Manage relationships with owners, architects, engineers and subcontractors
• Oversee project financials, contracts, change orders and forecasting
• Review plans/specs and proactively identify scope gaps and constructability issues
• Lead project meetings and manage RFIs, submittals and project documentation
• Partner with the Superintendent to drive field execution, schedule and quality
• Identify and resolve risks before they impact cost, schedule or quality
• Build strong client relationships that generate repeat business
• Support preconstruction, estimating and value engineering
• Leverage BIM/VDC and self-perform capabilities
• Mentor junior project staff and contribute to growing the Milwaukee operation
