Head of Project Management

Appleton Finn is working on behalf of a leading commercial general contractor in the Seattle area to identify two Project Managers to join their growing team. Depending on your background and interests, there are two tracks available: leading core commercial and tenant improvement projects end-to-end, or joining the Special Projects Group running faster-moving projects ranging from $400,000 to $20,000,000.

This is an opportunity for an experienced, commercially minded construction professional who thrives owning a project from pursuit through closeout and wants to join a company that invests in its people.

You will act as the primary point of contact for owners and clients, responsible for the financial success of the project from estimating through closeout.
