A bit about us:

We’re representing a respected Michigan-based construction company known for quality building solutions delivered through integrity, value, and craftsmanship, with a strong focus on projects that positively impact the communities they serve.

Why join us?

We are a premier, Grand Rapids-based commercial general contractor specializing in fast-paced, high-impact retail construction across the region and beyond. As our portfolio of national and regional retail clients continues to expand, we are looking for an experienced Retail Construction Project Manager to take ownership of complex build-outs, remodels, and rollouts from pre-construction through closeout.

What Sets Us Apart

True Project Autonomy: You will own your projects end-to-end. We hire seasoned builders and trust them to manage budgets, schedules, subcontractors, and client relationships without layers of corporate micromanagement.

Direct Access to Leadership: Our flat organizational structure means quick decisions, transparent communication, and immediate support from executive leadership when field challenges arise.

Steady Pipeline of Premier Retail Work: We partner with established, repeat retail brands that value quality and speed-to-market—giving you consistent, predictable project flow rather than constantly chasing one-off bids.

West Michigan Roots, National Reach: Enjoy the stability, tight-knit culture, and work-life balance of a well-established Grand Rapids headquarters while delivering high-visibility projects for recognizable brands.

Competitive Compensation & Growth: We offer a comprehensive benefits package, performance-based bonuses, vehicle allowance, and a clear path for career advancement as we continue to scale our retail division.

Job Details

We are seeking a driven, detail-oriented Retail Construction Project Manager to lead ground-up retail builds, tenant improvements, and multi-site store remodels. In this role, you will serve as the primary point of contact for clients, architects, landlords, and field superintendents—ensuring projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the exacting brand standards our retail partners expect.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: 4+ years of commercial construction project management experience, with a strong background in retail build-outs, tenant improvements, restaurants, or multi-site rollouts.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong blueprint reading skills and proficiency in construction management software (Procore preferred), MS Project, Bluebeam, and Excel.
• Communication & Leadership: Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, hold subcontractors accountable, and communicate clearly under tight deadlines.
• Travel: Willingness to travel regionally or nationally as needed for pre-construction site walks, milestone inspections, and project kickoffs (typically 15–25%).
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Architecture, or equivalent field-to-office construction experience.
