Position Summary

The Project Manager is the primary driver of planning, financial performance, and client experience across assigned projects.

This role owns the project from pre-construction through closeout, ensuring that budgets, schedules, selections, and communication are structured in a way that allows the field team to execute without friction.

You will manage 2-3 active projects concurrently, working in close partnership with the Superintendent to ensure alignment between office planning and field execution.

We are looking for a Project Manager who believes that most field issues originate from gaps in planning, scope clarity, or communication-and can be prevented upstream.

Key Responsibilities

Project Planning & Pre-Construction Ownership

• Lead pre-construction planning, including scope development, budgeting, and scheduling
• Ensure all project documentation (plans, selections, scope details) is complete, coordinated, and build-ready
• Identify gaps, conflicts, or ambiguities early and resolve prior to construction start

Budget & Financial Management

• Develop and manage project budgets, including tracking commitments and actual costs
• Manage change orders with clarity, accuracy, and timeliness
• Proactively identify and address cost risks before they impact profitability

Scheduling & Project Flow

• Build and maintain high-level project schedules in coordination with the Superintendent
• Ensure schedules are realistic, properly sequenced, and aligned with project constraints
• Support look-ahead planning by ensuring upstream decisions and materials are ready ahead of need

Client Communication & Experience

• Serve as the primary client point of contact throughout the project lifecycle
• Set clear expectations from the beginning and maintain consistent communication
• Guide clients through selections, decisions, and changes with structure and professionalism

Team Alignment & Coordination

• Partner closely with the Superintendent to ensure seamless transition from planning to execution
• Ensure subcontractors are properly scoped, contracted, and aligned before mobilization
• Maintain alignment between office systems (CoConstruct) and real-time project status

Systems & Process Discipline

• Utilize construction management software (CoConstruct) as the central source of truth
• Maintain accurate documentation, schedules, budgets, and communication logs
• Continuously improve systems and workflows to support scalable operations

Qualifications

• 5 years of residential construction project management experience
• Experience managing custom homes and/or high-end renovations preferred
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing, budgeting, and subcontractor coordination
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously (2-3 active jobs)

• Proficiency with construction management software (CoConstruct preferred; Buildertrend/Procore acceptable)
• Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural plans
• Strong working knowledge of estimating, cost tracking, and change order management

What Success Looks Like

• Projects are fully planned before field execution begins
• Budgets are accurate, tracked, and protected throughout the project lifecycle
• Clients feel informed, confident, and well-managed at every stage
• The Superintendent is able to focus on execution-not chasing missing information
• Change orders are handled proactively, not reactively
• Fewer surprises, smoother builds, and stronger project outcomes overall

Compensation & Growth

• $70,000-$80,000/year, based on experience and capability
• Consistent, year-round project pipeline
• Opportunity to take on larger, more complex projects over time
• Growth path into Senior Project Manager or Operations Leadership as the company scales
