Senior Project Manager

Founded in 1890, Findorff is a commercial construction company based in Wisconsin and building throughout the U.S. We deliver best-in-class craftsmanship to projects within healthcare, science and technology, student housing, and more, driven by strong relationships and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. 

What We Are Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive construction project management experience in commercial construction
• Demonstrated success leading large-scale projects valued at $100M or more from preconstruction through closeout
• Proven ability to negotiate and manage complex project situations with a high level of professionalism and sound judgment
• Advanced knowledge of building systems, construction methods, sequencing, and trade coordination
• Extensive experience with contracts, risk management, and dispute resolution in a commercial construction environment
• Established track record of leading project teams with a collaborative, team-first leadership approach

The Project:

29-story, 994000 sf student housing project in downtown Tempe, AZ. The new building will consist of 791 units and 1534 bedrooms. The project contains three levels of parking with units on top of the parking podium. The property will feature a rooftop pool, fitness center, and recreation rooms as amenities. We broke ground earlier this year with a completion date of summer 2028.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior Project Manager with Findorff, you'll lead construction projects from early planning through closeout, owning the process, the relationships, and the results. Because our work spans a wide range of project types, sizes, and complexities, no two projects look exactly the same. What stays consistent is your role as a trusted leader and problem solver.

• Apply Construction Expertise: Use your deep understanding of building systems, materials, and construction methods to lead with safety, anticipate and mitigate risks, proactively solve problems, and keep projects moving forward.
• Drive Procurement Efforts: Lead bidding and contracting processes, oversee subcontractor and vendor selection, and manage submittals to keep work aligned with project requirements and timelines.
• Plan and Execute Projects: Develop and maintain project schedules, lead meetings, coordinate with self-perform teams and subcontractors, and champion safety planning to deliver successful, well-executed projects.
• Own Financial Performance: Manage all financial aspects of your projects — from preconstruction and estimating through forecasting, cost control, and change management — ensuring strong financial outcomes.
• Lead Project Teams: Provide clear direction and leadership to project teams, fostering strong communication, mentoring team members, resolving conflicts, and building lasting relationships with clients, partners, and internal stakeholders.

• Employee-owned (ESOP) to build long-term wealth alongside your career
• Local work with most projects within an hour of your main office
• Stable, predictable backlog driven by long-term client relationships with over 90% of our work with repeat clients
