Lead Projects. Inspire Teams. Build What Matters.

At GBA Builders, we’re passionate about delivering complex, high-quality construction projects that make an impact. We believe in collaboration, integrity, and excellence — and we’re looking for a driven Project Manager to lead with those same values.

As a Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of your projects from start to finish, ensuring successful delivery through proactive leadership, strong communication, and a commitment to quality and safety. You’ll serve as a key liaison between clients, design partners, and field teams — leading with accountability, vision, and teamwork.

As a Project Manager, you will:

• 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.
• Track financial performance — including forecasting, profitability, pay applications, and reporting — while ensuring proper documentation and compliance with project management systems.
• 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.

• 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.
