Project Manager

Project Manager (Retail/Restaurant/TI)

My client is a local GC looking for a PM to oversee a diverse portfolio of commercial projects throughout Northeast Ohio and across the country. This is an excellent opportunity for a Project Manager who enjoys owning projects from preconstruction through closeout while working alongside an experienced, close-knit team.

What makes this opportunity unique is the culture. As a family‑owned contractor with an average employee tenure of over 12 years, you'll join a company where leadership is accessible, employees are trusted to make decisions, and long‑term careers are built. This role is open due to planned leadership succession, creating an opportunity to join a stable organization with clear room for future growth.

• Manage commercial construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and overall project execution plans.
• Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, architects, engineers, and owners throughout the construction process.
• Lead project meetings while maintaining strong communication with clients and internal teams.
• Review contracts, change orders, RFIs, submittals, and project documentation.
• Monitor project costs, identify risks, and implement solutions to keep projects on budget.
• Support field operations by partnering closely with Superintendents to ensure projects remain on schedule.
• Conduct regular jobsite visits and travel to active projects as needed.
• Maintain a strong focus on quality, safety, and client satisfaction throughout every phase of construction.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as a Commercial Construction Project Manager.
• Experience managing commercial renovation, retail, restaurant, tenant improvement, or ground‑up commercial projects.
• Strong understanding of estimating, budgeting, scheduling, subcontract management, and project financials.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast‑paced environment.
• Proficiency with construction management software and Microsoft Office.
• Willingness to travel to project sites approximately 1-4 times per month.
