We are seeking an experienced Project Manager with a strong self-perform construction background to join a growing team specializing in interior systems and commercial construction projects.
This is not a coordinator-style PM role. We are looking for a hands-on builder who understands production, labor tracking, crew management, and field operations within self-perform environments. The ideal candidate has direct experience managing drywall, metal stud framing, interior systems, exterior finishes, or related scopes with internal crews.
Responsibilities
- Manage self-perform construction projects from preconstruction through closeout
- Oversee field operations, production schedules, manpower planning, and labor tracking
- Coordinate directly with superintendents, foremen, vendors, and clients
- Build and manage project budgets based on labor hours, install rates, and production metrics
- Track RFIs, submittals, change orders, procurement, and project documentation
- Monitor project schedules and proactively address delays or field issues
- Ensure projects are completed safely, on schedule, and within budget
- Support project closeout, punch lists, and final turnover documentation
Requirements
- 5+ years of project management experience within self-perform construction environments
- Background with drywall, metal stud framing, commercial interiors, exterior finishes, painting, or related scopes strongly preferred
- Experience managing internal field crews rather than strictly subcontractor coordination
- Strong understanding of production rates, labor tracking, sequencing, and field operations
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
- Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously
- Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Background
- Former Foreman or Superintendent who transitioned into Project Management
- Experience working for specialty subcontractors rather than GC-only environments
- Experience in retail, hospital, tenant improvement, or large commercial interior projects
- Familiarity with QuickBooks RST or Plexus software is a plus
Benefits
- Competitive base salary
- Bonus opportunities
- Health benefits
- PTO and paid holidays
- Long-term career growth with a fast-moving and team-oriented organization
