  • Lead and oversee all aspects of project performance — including budget, schedule, scope, safety, and quality — ensuring successful delivery and client satisfaction.
  • Develop and maintain project schedules and manage resources to meet deadlines and milestones.
  • Collaborate with estimating and marketing teams to develop pricing, proposals, schedules, and subcontractor buyout strategies during preconstruction.
  • Review plans and specifications to identify conflicts or missing information, coordinating with clients and design teams for resolution.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, consultants, subcontractors, and internal teams, managing communication and expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Conduct site visits to assess progress, safety, and quality, partnering closely with superintendents to ensure alignment with project goals.

  • Manage change orders, requests for proposals, and scope modifications, maintaining control of cost, schedule, and communication.
  • Lead progress meetings, issue meeting minutes, and oversee project closeout and warranty processes.
  • Support the professional growth of project engineers, assistant project managers, and other team members.
  • Travel to and from job sites as needed to support field operations.
  • Operating a motor vehicle on behalf of the company as an essential function of the role.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

  • Experience in the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) industry preferred.

  • Hands-on experience supervising trade construction activities.

  • Estimating and subcontractor buyout experience preferred.

  • Strong knowledge of construction scheduling (Microsoft Project or equivalent) and ability to develop schedules from start to finish.

  • Solid understanding of construction project accounting and cost control.

  • OSHA-30 certification required.

  • Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

  • Proven ability to identify risks, solve problems proactively, and build trust across teams.

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and general comfort with technology.

  • Collaborative mindset and ability to maintain composure under pressure while fostering a positive, solutions-focused work environment.

  • Must possess and maintain a valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record.
Physical Requirements & Work Environment
