Job Description

Job Description

Our client is seeking an experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager to lead commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. Candidates with the appropriate experience may be considered for either a Project Manager or Senior Project Manager position based on their background, leadership experience, and project portfolio.

This is an outstanding opportunity for construction professionals looking to join a growing commercial general contractor during an exciting period of expansion. The ideal candidate has experience managing ground-up commercial construction projects, enjoys collaborating with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and field teams, and thrives in an environment that values accountability, strong communication, and disciplined project execution. As the company continues expanding into larger and more complex commercial projects, this role offers the opportunity to contribute beyond individual projects and help shape the future of the organization. Experience with tilt-wall construction is highly desirable.

Why Join Our Client?

Our client is a growing commercial general contractor with experience delivering retail, restaurant, office, industrial, medical, and other commercial construction projects throughout Texas. As the company continues to grow, it is strategically investing in experienced leadership, expanding its capabilities, and pursuing larger, more complex commercial projects.

Recent additions to the leadership team bring experience delivering commercial projects ranging from approximately $100 million to over $300 million, providing an opportunity to learn from seasoned construction professionals while helping build the next generation of the organization. Whether you're looking to step away from a large corporate environment or take on greater ownership within a growing company, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while advancing your career.
