We"re looking for a Construction Project Manager who thrives on leading complex commercial construction projects, building strong client relationships, and driving successful project outcomes from preconstruction through closeout.

In this role, you"ll oversee one or more commercial construction projects with a combined value of up to $50M, working alongside experienced superintendents, engineers, preconstruction professionals, and executive leadership.

• Review and oversee submittals, shop drawings, product data, RFIs, and other critical project information.
• Partner with the Preconstruction team on planning, estimating support, constructability reviews, site logistics, subcontractor bidding, and scope development.
• Negotiate and manage change orders while maintaining strong cost control and financial accountability.
• Support BIM coordination efforts and collaborate with the Virtual Construction Team to improve project execution.
• Foster strong relationships with clients, trade partners, colleagues, and community stakeholders.

• Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and construction documents.
• Experience managing budgets, forecasting costs, and tracking project financial performance.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with owners, subcontractors, and project teams.
• Knowledge of OSHA requirements and a commitment to maintaining safe project sites.
• Familiarity with construction technology and BIM coordination processes.

Preferred Technical Skills

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to lead commercial projects valued up to $50M.
• Exposure to both preconstruction and field operations.
• Direct collaboration with senior leadership and project decision-makers.
• Hands-on involvement with modern construction technology, BIM, and virtual construction tools.
• Opportunity to mentor team members and grow your leadership skills.
• Long-term career growth within a builder-focused organization committed to developing its people.
