At Kibler, we believe great construction starts with great people. We foster a collaborative, hands-on culture where team members are trusted with meaningful responsibility, work directly with company leadership, and have the opportunity to grow as the company grows.

Our portfolio includes higher education and institutional facilities, commercial renovations, laboratories and technically complex spaces, occupied-campus projects, municipal facilities, interior build-outs, exterior improvements, and select ground-up construction. The ideal candidate is a proactive, solutions-oriented construction professional who understands both the operational and financial sides of project management. This person communicates exceptionally well, anticipates challenges before they affect the project, takes ownership of results, and builds strong relationships with clients, design professionals, trade partners, and internal teams.

Manage RFIs, submittals, substitutions, shop drawings, procurement tracking, and document control. Prepare, price, negotiate, and administer owner and subcontractor change orders. Review subcontractor pay applications and monitor project costs, commitments, billings, and financial performance. Proactively identify potential cost, schedule, procurement, contractual, and constructability issues and develop solutions before they affect project performance. Lead owner/architect/contractor meetings and subcontractor coordination meetings as required. Serve as a primary point of contact for owners, architects, engineers, consultants, subcontractors, and other project stakeholders. Maintain accurate and timely project documentation using Procore and other company technology platforms. Ensure compliance with contract documents, permitting requirements, owner standards, and company policies and procedures. Manage project risks, delays, claims, unforeseen conditions, and other issues in coordination with company leadership. Support estimating and preconstruction efforts, including budgeting, constructability reviews, value engineering, procurement planning, and proposal development. Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, design professionals, subcontractors, vendors, and project partners.
