Job Description

This is a cradle-to-grave Senior Project Manager role where you own the project from preconstruction through construction and final closeout - making real decisions without being buried under layers of oversight.

• Partner with and direct field leadership to keep projects on schedule, on budget, and to quality standards
• Proactively identify and resolve issues affecting cost, schedule, or quality
• Mentor and develop Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and field staff

Ideal Candidate

• 5–10 years of Project Manager experience on K-12, commercial, or similar ground-up projects
• A proven track record of running projects independently, start to finish
• Strong command of project financials, scheduling, buyout, and subcontractor management
• The kind of steady leadership that raises the whole team
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and organizational skills
• Proficiency in construction management software and Microsoft Office
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred; strong experience carries equal weight
