Construction Project Manager - Structural Steel Erection

Project Manager

We are looking for a Project Manager to lead commercial and industrial structural steel erection, miscellaneous metals, and precast projects in a specialty subcontractor environment, taking full ownership from project handoff through closeout. This role is responsible for overseeing all aspects of project execution, including scheduling, budgeting, field coordination, client communication, and project documentation. You'll work closely with field superintendents, fabricators, general contractors, and clients to deliver projects safely, on schedule, and within budget across Southeastern Wisconsin. This position is best suited for someone with direct structural steel erection project management experience rather than general commercial construction experience.

Responsibilities

• Oversee commercial and industrial structural steel erection, miscellaneous metals, and precast projects from project handoff through closeout.
• Coordinate field erection activities with superintendents, foremen, crane operators, fabricators, and subcontractors to maintain safe and efficient project execution.
• Review structural steel shop drawings, erection drawings, contract documents, and project specifications to ensure accurate field installation.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, manpower plans, equipment schedules, and material deliveries to keep projects on track.
• Lead RFIs, submittals, change orders, purchase orders, and coordination with general contractors, fabricators, engineers, and owners throughout the project lifecycle.
• Monitor project costs, productivity, and labor performance while identifying opportunities to improve project profitability.
• Resolve field issues, sequencing conflicts, and installation challenges to minimize delays and maintain project momentum.
• Ensure all work is completed in compliance with safety standards, quality expectations, and contract requirements.
• Support project closeout by completing punch lists, turnover documentation, and final customer deliverables.
