Construction Project Manager – Commercial & Industrial

Montvale, NJ

$100,000–$175,000

Office-Based Position

Overview

A growing commercial construction company specializing in large-scale industrial projects is seeking a sharp, motivated Construction Project Manager to help oversee projects from planning through completion.

The company handles multimillion-dollar construction projects, including warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and industrial buildings, and is experiencing significant growth.

We're looking for someone who knows construction, can read plans, understands how projects come together, and knows how to keep things moving.

This is not an entry-level position, but you don't need to have managed massive projects independently. The right person brings solid construction experience, strong organizational skills, and the ability to take ownership without needing constant direction.

This is primarily an office-based role , working closely with field teams and leadership to ensure projects stay organized, on schedule, and moving forward.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate and oversee commercial and industrial construction projects from the office

• Review architectural and construction plans, specifications, and project documentation

• Work closely with on-site project managers, superintendents, subcontractors, and vendors

• Monitor project progress, schedules, deadlines, and outstanding items

• Coordinate inspections, approvals, and other project requirements

• Review contracts, project details, and documentation to ensure accuracy and follow-through

• Identify potential issues early and work with the team to resolve them

• Maintain communication between ownership, field personnel, and other stakeholders

• Take ownership of assigned projects and ensure nothing falls through the cracks

Ideal Candidate

• Experience in commercial construction, preferably with a general contractor

• Strong ability to read and understand construction plans — required

• Background in construction project management, assistant project management, or project coordination

• Good understanding of construction processes, trades, and project execution

• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple moving pieces

• Proactive problem-solver who thinks ahead and follows through

• Excellent communication skills and confidence working with contractors and field teams

• Self-motivated, responsible, and comfortable taking ownership

• Able to contribute immediately without extensive construction training

• Ambitious and interested in growing into larger project responsibilities

This is an opportunity for someone who already knows construction and is ready to take on more responsibility, manage substantial projects, and grow with a rapidly expanding company.
