Senior Project Manager

Boyd Jones Construction
Des Moines, IA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/11/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/6/2026
Lead the Work. Grow the Team. Shape What Gets Built.

Senior Project Manager

Big projects don’t run themselves- and the best ones run because someone at the center is thinking three moves ahead. If you’re the PM who’s already acting like a PX, who mentors the team without being asked and sees risk before it becomes a problem, Boyd Jones has the next opportunity for you.

We’re hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead complex construction projects out of our Urbandale, IA office, serve as a primary client partner, and help develop the next generation of project leaders at Boyd Jones.

What You’ll Own

This isn’t a coordinator role. You’ll carry full accountability for project performance, client relationships, and team development across large, complex, or concurrent projects.

  • Lead execution strategy, team alignment, and performance across complex or multiple concurrent projects from preconstruction through closeout
  • Serve as the primary client contact — managing executive relationships, navigating challenges, and representing BJC with credibility
  • Own financial performance: forecasting accuracy, risk mitigation, cash flow, and portfolio-level profitability
  • Mentor and develop Project Managers, APMs, and Project Engineers — actively building bench strength on your teams
  • Establish and reinforce risk management, safety culture, and quality standards across all assigned projects
  • Review and approve RFIs, submittals, change events, and documentation prepared by project teams
  • Lead OAC meetings, subcontractor coordination, and internal planning sessions
  • Represent Boyd Jones in client presentations, interviews, and industry events

What’s In It For You

  • Competitive compensation based on your experience.
  • Work that matters. You’ll lead meaningful vertical construction projects with real complexity- the kind of work that builds a résumé and a reputation.
  • A seat at the table. BJC is big enough for complex, diverse work and small enough that your voice is heard.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re analytically sharp and people-smart. You hold a room with a client and turn around and pull the team together in the same day. You’re the one who makes the hard call early instead of waiting for someone else to see it.

  • 8 years of commercial construction project management experience, including leadership of large or complex projects
  • Proven ability to manage client relationships, lead teams, and mentor emerging talent
  • Strong financial acumen — you’re comfortable owning forecasts, managing risk, and protecting margin
  • Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, P6 or equivalent scheduling software, and Microsoft Office
  • Excellent communicator — confident with executives, trade partners, and project teams alike
  • OSHA 30 certified or willing to obtain
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field preferred

Why Boyd Jones

Boyd Jones is a Nebraska-based general contractor with offices in Omaha, Des Moines, and Dallas- big enough to build complex, high-profile work across commercial, vertical, and specialty sectors; small enough that your contributions are seen and your career actually moves.

We’re a values-driven company- Safety, Integrity, Stewardship, Continuous Improvement, and Partnership aren’t wall art here. They show up in how we run projects, how we treat trade partners, and how we develop our people.

If you’re ready to do the best work of your career and help shape what comes next at BJC, we’d like to talk.
