Commercial Construction Project Manager - Kennesaw, GA

About United Contractor Services

United Contractor Services is a national specialty subcontractor ranked among the Top 50 Walls and Ceilings contractors in North America. We self-perform commercial interior construction across metal framing, drywall, acoustical ceilings, EIFS, stucco, painting, and Division 8 and 10 Specialties. We work in major markets across the country on large-scale projects, and we run our jobs on accountability and straight communication between the office and the field. This position is based out of our headquarters in Kennesaw, GA.

The Role

This Project Manager position sits at the center of the job. You own the schedule and the budget, and you're the person clients, architects, field leadership, and other trades come to when they need an answer. It suits someone who is technically strong, comfortable making decisions, and able to keep multiple projects moving at once.

What the Job Looks Like

You'll run projects from preconstruction through close-out, building and maintaining the schedule, tracking costs, and finding efficiencies that don't come out of the quality of the work. A large share of the job is coordination - keeping clients and design teams current, resolving conflicts with other trades before they become delays, and making sure your field leadership has what they need to keep crews productive.

The rest of it breaks down like this:

• Make occasional site visits to check progress and work through issues directly with superintendents and foremen
• Spot risks early - manpower, material lead times, schedule compression, scope gaps - and put a plan against them before they cost money
• Keep documentation clean and current: submittals, RFIs, change orders, daily records, and close-out packages
• Hold the job to company safety and quality standards
• Support and develop the assistant project managers working under you

Background We're Looking For

We're after four or more years managing commercial construction projects, with direct experience in drywall and metal framing scopes. Exposure to ceilings, finishes, or Division 8 and 10 work is a plus. We run Procore, On-Screen Takeoff, and QuickBid - if you've worked in other project management, takeoff, or estimating platforms, that background transfers and we'll train you on ours.

Beyond the technical side, we're looking for:

• Clear, direct communication with clients, design teams, and field leadership
• A track record of leading crews and holding people accountable without burning them out
• Steadiness when conditions change, which on interiors work is most weeks
• Judgment about client relationships - anticipating what they need and delivering on it so the next job comes back to us

Pay and Benefits

Competitive compensation, a full benefits package, and steady work on significant commercial projects. We promote from within, and project managers here have a clear path into senior PM and operations roles.
