Job Description

Position Title: Project Manager
Location: Asheville, NC
Job Category: Office Operations
Pay Range: N/A

At Barringer Construction, we build more than buildings — we build lasting relationships, memorable experiences, and careers people are proud of. As a Carolinas-based commercial general contractor, we've earned a reputation for client-centered delivery across corporate interiors, hospitality, life sciences, mission critical, industrial, institutional, and healthcare work. We're also 100% employee-owned through our ESOP, which means every person on our team shares in what we build together. It's part of why Business NC Magazine named us the #1 Best Employer in North Carolina in both 2024 and 2025.

We're looking for a Project Manager who knows how to lead commercial builds from bid to closeout — the kind of PM who clients trust, teams rally behind, and subcontractors want to work with again. If you love a good plan, a clean schedule, and a well-delivered project, you'll feel right at home here.

Our team enjoys 100% employer-paid premiums for dental, vision, short-term disability, and life insurance; a 401(k) with company match; flexible PTO after your first year; tuition reimbursement; wellness and training programs; pet insurance; and annual donations to the charities our employees care about most. Apply today!

As a Project Manager, you'll own commercial construction projects from planning through closeout, serving as the key connection between clients, senior leadership, subcontractors, and our field teams. You'll guide the work, protect the budget, drive the schedule, and deliver the kind of mint-on-the-pillow experience Barringer is known for.

What You'll Do

1. Lead all phases of the project life cycle, from planning and estimating through execution and closeout.
2. Own project budgets, track costs, and keep financials on target.
3. Build and drive the project schedule, keeping every stakeholder aligned.
4. Strengthen relationships with clients, design partners, vendors, and subcontractors.
5. Deliver clear, timely communication and updates to clients and internal teams.
6. Review plans, specs, and contracts to spot risks early and solve problems proactively.
7. Partner with superintendents and field leadership to ensure quality, safety, and craftsmanship on every jobsite.
8. Represent Barringer in pursuit interviews and client-facing settings with confidence and polish.

What You Bring

1. A natural relationship-builder who shines in interviews and client conversations.
2. Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects without dropping details.
3. Confidence reading blueprints, specs, and contracts, and navigating the full construction process.
4. Top-tier communication skills with a sharp eye for detail.
5. A team-oriented leader who brings energy, professionalism, and a touch of salesmanship.

Experience

1. 5+ years as an acting Project Manager on commercial construction projects.
2. 6+ years total in the commercial construction industry.

Education

1. Bachelor's degree in a construction-related field, or equivalent industry experience.

Skills & Tools

1. Proficient in Procore, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.
2. Experience with Viewpoint (Vista) a plus.
3. Working knowledge of estimating, scheduling, and contract administration.

Work Environment

1. Split between office and active jobsite settings, with varying conditions including changes in elevation, temperature fluctuations, and occasional dust or noise.
2. Ability to move around construction sites safely and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
3. Some travel between projects and offices across our market; occasional early mornings or late days as project milestones require.
