ABOUT THE ROLE

A leading commercial construction firm is seeking an experienced Project Manager to own the full lifecycle of construction projects from pre-mobilization through final closeout. This is not a support role. The right candidate runs the project, leads the subcontractors, protects the schedule, and holds the financials without escalating routine decisions up the chain.

If you have managed complex, multi-trade construction projects and have the organizational discipline to keep submittals, change orders, and cost reports clean simultaneously, this role was built for you.

Develop and execute the project business plan, staging, logistics, and phasing plan from day one
Serve as the primary point of contact for engineers and architects throughout the project lifecycle
Lead all subcontractor coordination across architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical trades
Manage project startup: permits, licenses, jobsite mobilization, and subcontractor pre-mobilization meetings
Issue and administer subcontracts and purchase orders; manage payments, insurance, bonds, and safety compliance
Drive overall project schedule development, updates, and job scheduling meetings
Implement and enforce the project quality control plan
Conduct bi-weekly safety surveys with the project superintendent
Prioritize, review, and expedite submittals; manage material deliveries to schedule
Track quantity updates and maintain accurate labor forecasts with field superintendents
Develop and administer subcontractor and purchase order change orders
Review and approve material and equipment invoices against project budget
Prepare payment requests and monitor collections
Liaise with city and state agencies on project review and inspections
Lead OAC progress meetings; produce monthly status reports
Manage all project management software inputs: job status reports, projections, change orders, and RFIs
Execute job closeout documentation, final job report, and final accounting
Mentor and develop assistant project managers, co-ops, and interns on active projects

A Note for Veterans

If you are transitioning out of the military or recently transitioned, this role was built with you in mind. The qualities the service produces, early arrival, situational awareness around personnel, deference to people with more reps regardless of rank, daily inspection discipline, comfort in heat and rain and mud, small-unit cohesion, are the qualities that produce a successful operator on these crews.
