Project Manager
Commercial Construction
Chico, CA
$120,000 to $150,000 base salary
Relocation assistance considered
We’re partnered with a respected Northern California commercial general contractor that has been building high-quality projects for decades and has completed 4,000 projects across a diverse portfolio. This is a company known for quality, integrity, long-term relationships, and a collaborative culture that blends experienced builders with newer talent. Public company materials describe it as a small company with big capabilities, founded in 1946, with over 75% of current workload coming from repeat clients.
This is a strong opportunity for a Project Manager who wants real ownership, visibility, and the chance to help deliver meaningful commercial work in a market where you can still have a lifestyle outside the job. The company’s portfolio includes work across commercial, healthcare, schools, retail, apartments, tenant improvements, industrial, and concrete tilt projects, giving the right person exposure to a broad range of project types.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll help lead commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout, partnering with field leadership, subcontractors, clients, and internal teams to keep projects on schedule, on budget, and moving smoothly. This role is ideal for someone who is confident managing project documentation, cost control, procurement, subcontractor coordination, and client communication while staying close enough to operations to make smart decisions quickly.
What they’re looking for
- Degree required, preferably in Construction Management, Engineering, or a related field
- Commercial construction project experience required
- Strong skills in project planning, budgeting, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, and client communication
- Someone who wants to be part of a collaborative team and have a real impact, not get buried inside a large corporate structure
Why this opportunity stands out
This builder has a long-standing reputation in Northern California, strong community roots, and public recognition including 2024 Community Builder of the Year. The culture appears to be team-oriented and relationship-driven, with hands-on leadership and a steady mix of repeat-client work.
