We are proudly: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) State of Connecticut Certified Native American Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) From high-end residential remodels to multi-million-dollar federal renovations at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System, the Naval Submarine Base in Groton, Danbury Federal Prison, and the James J. Peters VA Medical Center — integrity is our business, and it shows on every project we deliver. The Role This is a hybrid Project Manager / Construction Manager position — the seat that covers the space between a traditional PM and a Superintendent. You own projects end-to-end: in the office running the budget, the schedule, the contracts, and the owner communication, and on the jobsite running crews, coordinating subs, and making sure the work gets built right, safely, and on time. You’ll run a mix of residential, commercial, and federal projects — from high-end interior remodels to tenant improvements to multi-million-dollar renovations on active federal installations. You’ll report directly to ownership and be given real autonomy to run your jobs. What You’ll Own Preconstruction & Project Setup Partner with estimating on scope review, constructability feedback, and buyout. Prepare and manage the master project schedule in MS Project (or equivalent). Execute subcontracts, purchase orders, submittals, and procurement in Procore. Develop site logistics plans, mobilization plans, and quality/safety programs tailored to each job type. Field Operations & Superintendent Duties Run daily jobsite operations: crew deployment, subcontractor coordination, materials, equipment, and deliveries. Produce 3-week look-ahead schedules and daily reports; keep the job tracking to the master schedule. Walk the site daily for quality, safety, and progress; lead toolbox talks and enforce OSHA standards. Coordinate inspections with AHJs, building officials, owners, and federal representatives. Manage punchlist and turnover; own project closeout (as-builts, O&M manuals, warranties). Project Management & Owner-Facing Duties Serve as the primary point of contact for owners, architects, engineers, and tenant reps. Own the project budget: job cost tracking, forecasts, and WIP; flag risk early and protect margin. Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and pay applications through Procore. Run regular OAC meetings; keep meeting minutes, action items, and the risk register current. Partner with the Business Manager on AIA billings, subcontractor compliance, and lien waivers. Residential, Commercial, and Federal Work Residential: manage high-end remodels, additions, kitchens, baths, and new builds with homeowner-facing communication and designer/architect coordination. Commercial: deliver tenant improvements, medical, hospitality, and office buildouts — including phased and after-hours work. Federal: execute USACE, NAVFAC, VA, and GSA projects with full compliance: Quality Control Plans (QCP), Accident Prevention Plans (APP), EM 385-1-1 safety, Davis‑Bacon / certified payroll, RMS3 / ProjNet, and site badging/clearance processes. What We’re Looking For (Required) 5+ years of hands‑on experience as a Project Manager, Superintendent, or combined PM/Super on commercial or federal construction projects. Proven ability to run a project end-to-end — from preconstruction through closeout — both in the office and on the jobsite. OSHA 30 certification (current). Proficiency in Procore, Microsoft Project, and Bluebeam Revu. Strong grasp of construction means and methods across multiple trades (carpentry, MEP, finishes, sitework). Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, and shop drawings. Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable leading OAC meetings and writing clear RFIs and daily reports. Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and willingness to travel to project sites. Preferred Direct experience on federal construction projects (USACE, NAVFAC, VA, DOD, GSA). USACE CQM-C (Construction Quality Management for Contractors) certification. EM 385-1-1 familiarity and prior QCM / SSHO experience. PMP (Project Management Professional) or CCM (Certified Construction Manager). Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or related field. Ability to obtain a federal security clearance or base access credentials. Bilingual English/Spanish.
