Project Manager - Construction
Commercial Interiors & General Contracting · Union County, NJ

Union County, NJ · In-Person Full-Time $120,000 - $140,000

We are a well-established, employee-owned specialty general contractor founded in 1960 with ten regional offices across New York, New Jersey, New England, Maryland, and North Carolina. We have built a 60-year reputation delivering high-quality commercial construction across banking, healthcare, corporate, retail, and industrial sectors - and we're growing.

What we need: A fully independent Project Manager who can own a project from estimating through closeout without hand-holding. You read drawings, run bids, manage subs, process billings, handle change orders, and close out jobs - all on your own. If you need someone to walk you through the basics, this isn't the right fit.

Compensation & Benefits

• $120,000 - $140,000 base salary bonus potential
• 100% employer-paid family and individual medical, dental, and vision
• ESOP - employee stock ownership plan. As the company grows, so does your stake.
• 401(k) with employer contribution, HSA, life insurance, paid time off
• In-house union carpentry crews - more schedule control and quality execution than a typical GC
• Cell phone reimbursement

• Perform takeoffs and develop competitive budgets independently
• Execute and manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and change events
• Process AIA billings, lien waivers, and subcontractor and vendor invoices
• Build and maintain project schedules; attend and lead project meetings
• Read and interpret construction drawings and specifications
• Manage bonding, insurance requirements, and contract front-end review
• Execute punchlist and closeout process through final turnover
• Maintain and grow client and subcontractor relationships

Requirements
