You’ll be involved from early concept and pricing through project closeout, working closely with leadership, field teams, and clients.

  • Own budgets, cost tracking, and forecasting
  • Lead client communication and project meetings
  • Oversee RFIs, submittals, and change orders

Contracts & Financial Oversight

  • Review and manage owner and subcontract agreements
  • Participate in contract negotiation and execution
  • Ensure projects stay aligned with contractual and financial goals

Scheduling & Field Coordination

  • Partner with Superintendents to develop and maintain project schedules
  • Monitor progress, productivity, and cost alignment
  • Proactively identify and resolve project challenges

 Safety & Quality

  • Support development and enforcement of site-specific safety plans
  • Ensure subcontractor compliance and overall jobsite safety

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of construction experience in project management and/or estimating
  • Experience managing projects valued at $5M+
  • Strong understanding of construction documents, trade scopes, and pricing
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
  • Proficiency with Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, and Microsoft Office
