Construction Project Manager

Liberty Personnel Services, Inc.

Senior Project Manager – Commercial Construction

If you're a construction Project Manager who is ready to run the project—not just manage pieces of it—this is the opportunity to take the wheel.

A well-established and growing commercial general contractor is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead major construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout.

This is a true project leadership position with responsibility for profitability, schedule, safety, quality, subcontractor performance, client satisfaction, and the overall success of the job.

We're especially interested in Project Managers with multifamily construction experience who have successfully led projects ranging from $20 million to $50 million.

Why This Opportunity?

This isn't a position where you'll spend your day updating spreadsheets while someone else makes the decisions.

You'll have ownership.

You'll work directly with executives, superintendents, project engineers, subcontractors, owners, architects, and clients to drive projects from concept to completion.

You'll also have the opportunity to participate in preconstruction, estimating, client presentations, contract negotiations, and business development —giving you exposure well beyond traditional project management.

For someone looking to continue progressing toward Project Executive or senior operations leadership , this is the kind of experience that builds that path.

What You'll Own

As Senior Project Manager, you'll be responsible for the overall execution and financial performance of assigned projects.

You'll lead:

  • Projects ranging from approximately $20M–$50M
  • Preconstruction-to-field project transitions
  • Project budgets and cost controls
  • CPM scheduling and schedule management
  • Subcontractor procurement and negotiations
  • Owner and subcontractor contracts
  • Change orders and change management
  • Monthly forecasting and cost projections
  • Payment applications and project cash flow
  • Procurement planning
  • Risk management
  • Quality control
  • Project safety coordination
  • Claims prevention and resolution
  • Project closeout and punch lists
  • Warranty issues and owner follow-up

You'll partner closely with the Project Superintendent to determine the manpower, equipment, materials, sequencing, and construction methods necessary to deliver the project safely, profitably, and on schedule.

More Than Project Management

The strongest candidates understand that great construction PMs are also businesspeople.

You'll have responsibility for the financial health of your projects, including:

  • Budget management
  • Cost forecasting
  • Monthly progress reporting
  • Billing and collections
  • Maintaining positive project cash flow
  • Subcontractor payments
  • Cost-to-complete projections
  • Change-order negotiations
  • Contract compliance
  • Identifying and mitigating potential claims

You'll know where your project stands financially—not just where it stands on the schedule.

Preconstruction & Client Exposure

You'll also have opportunities to participate in the front end of projects, including:

  • Estimating
  • Constructability reviews
  • Scheduling
  • General conditions
  • Manpower planning
  • Equipment requirements
  • Procurement strategy
  • Proposal development
  • Client presentations
  • Contract negotiations
  • Business development

This is an excellent opportunity for a PM who wants greater visibility into how projects are won, structured, executed, and made profitable.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an experienced commercial construction professional with a track record of successfully managing significant projects.

Ideal experience includes:

  • 5–10+ years of construction project management experience
  • Experience managing projects in the $20M–$50M range
  • Multifamily construction experience strongly preferred
  • Commercial ground-up construction experience
  • Preconstruction experience
  • Strong understanding of CPM scheduling
  • Budgeting, forecasting, and cost-control experience
  • Subcontractor procurement and management
  • Contract and change-order negotiation
  • Experience working directly with owners and clients
  • Strong leadership and communication skills

A four-year construction-related degree is preferred; however, equivalent technical training and significant construction experience will also be considered.

Knowledge of Microsoft Project, Microsoft Office, contract documents, construction operations, scheduling, productivity analysis, equipment utilization, and project cash-flow management is important.

Who Will Thrive Here?

This opportunity should appeal to someone who can walk onto a project and confidently say:

"This is my job, and I'm responsible for making it successful."

You understand the drawings and contracts.

You know the numbers.

You can manage a superintendent without trying to be the superintendent.

You can negotiate with subcontractors.

You can sit across the table from an owner.

And when a project inevitably throws a curveball, you're the person people look to for the solution.

Benefits

The company offers a competitive benefits package including:

  • 401(k)
  • Company 401(k) match
  • Medical insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Employee assistance program
Ready for the Next Step?

If you've successfully managed major commercial or multifamily construction projects and are looking for an opportunity with real authority, substantial projects, client exposure, and room to continue advancing your career , send your resume to View email address on click.appcast.io

All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
