Job Title: Construction Project Manager
Location: Louisville, KY (Extensive Travel Required)
Compensation: $95,000 Target Base Salary + Travel Opportunities

Are you a hands-on Construction Project Manager who thrives in the field and enjoys leading crews through complex installations and startups? We are partnering with a well-established engineering and construction firm seeking a strong field leader to oversee multi-trade projects at customer sites nationwide.

This is a high-visibility role with significant autonomy, direct interaction with engineering teams and customers, and the opportunity to lead projects from installation through commissioning and startup.

What You'll Do

• Lead and coordinate field crews across multiple trades during installation, fabrication, commissioning, and startup

• Ensure all work meets project specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements

• Serve as the on-site point of contact for Engineering and the customer

• Proactively solve field challenges and remove obstacles for crews

• Communicate job status, resource needs, and progress updates to Project Engineers and Coordinators

• Issue change orders, redline drawings, and provide required customer documentation

• Oversee site safety compliance and conduct toolbox talks

• Collect and manage timecards and project documentation

• Support system startup and checkout as needed

• Provide post-project feedback to internal stakeholders

What We're Looking For

• Associate's Degree or trade school equivalent

• 5–7+ years of construction management or superintendent experience

• Background in plumbing, mechanical, or process systems strongly preferred

• Willingness to travel 70%+ (projects located at customer sites nationwide)

• Valid driver's license and ability to pass driver health screening

• Strong leadership and communication skills

• High attention to detail and organizational ability

• Comfortable using technology and Microsoft Office tools in the field

Why This Role Stands Out

• Competitive $95K target base compensation

• Significant project ownership and decision-making authority

• Opportunity to lead technical installations from start to finish

• Work closely with engineering and customers in a highly collaborative environment

If you are a strong field leader who enjoys travel, autonomy, and driving projects to completion, we would love to connect.
