This is a key leadership role where you won’t just manage projects—you’ll set the standard for execution, safety, and field excellence.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary: $85,000 – $110,000
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Employer-sponsored health insurance
• Paid time off (PTO)

About you

You are a confident, experienced construction leader who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments. You know how to balance safety, schedule, budget, and quality—and you take pride in getting work done right the first time.

You bring:

• Proven success in managing multiple projects and field teams
• Strong subcontractor and client relationship management skills

• Solid understanding of contracts, scopes, buyouts, and subcontracts
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, MS Project, and Outlook
• Excellent communication, leadership, and conflict resolution skills
• Strong understanding of construction means, methods, and plan reading

You are organised, proactive, detail-driven, and committed to improving how things are done—not just maintaining the status quo.
