Project Manager

Key Responsibilities

Preconstruction & Buyout

• Review contract documents, drawings, and specifications to identify scope gaps, constructability issues, and design conflicts prior to buyout.
• Develop and manage the project budget, converting the estimate into a working cost model with defined cost codes.
• Lead the subcontractor buyout: prepare bid packages, level bids, negotiate scope and price, and issue subcontracts and purchase orders.
• Establish the project execution plan, including logistics, phasing, procurement strategy, and long-lead item tracking.
• Support the estimating team on hard bid, GMP, and design-build pursuits, including participation in interviews.

Financial Management

• Own project profitability. Prepare and present monthly cost reports, projections, and margin forecasts to leadership.
• Manage the change order process end to end — identify changes, price them, negotiate with the owner and design team, and issue subcontractor change orders.
• Prepare and submit monthly owner requisitions (AIA G702/G703), review subcontractor pay applications, and manage lien waivers and retainage.
• Track and defend against claims for delay, acceleration, and unforeseen conditions.

Schedule & Field Coordination

• Develop, maintain, and update the CPM project schedule in coordination with the Superintendent; identify critical path risks and drive recovery plans.
• Run coordination between trades, including MEP coordination and BIM/clash detection where applicable.
• Manage submittals, RFIs, and shop drawing review to keep procurement ahead of the field.
• Partner daily with the Superintendent on manpower, sequencing, site logistics, and production rates.

Client, Design Team & Authorities

• Serve as the primary point of contact for the owner, architect, and engineers; lead OAC meetings and issue meeting minutes.
• Manage permitting, inspections, and coordination with local building departments and utility providers.
• Communicate issues early and with a proposed solution — protect the client relationship and the company's position simultaneously.

Quality, Safety & Closeout

• Enforce the project quality program, including mockups, pre-installation meetings, and inspection/test plans.
• Support the site safety program in partnership with the Superintendent and safety team; participate in incident review.
• Drive closeout: punch list completion, commissioning, O&M manuals, as-builts, warranties, certificate of occupancy, and final billing.

Team Leadership

• Supervise, mentor, and develop Assistant Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Project Coordinators.
• Coordinate resources across the project team and hold team members accountable to deliverables.
