Position Overview

We are seeking a highly organized, results-driven Construction Project Manager with proven experience managing multiple construction projects simultaneously. This is a fast-paced role that requires someone who can take ownership, solve problems quickly, and maintain strict control over budgets, schedules, and subcontractor performance.

  • Track project budgets, cost reports, and change orders
  • Coordinate subcontractors, vendors, and internal teams to ensure project progress
  • Conduct regular job site visits to monitor quality, safety, and productivity
  • Proactively identify and resolve project issues before they impact schedule or cost
  • Maintain detailed project documentation, reports, and communication logs
  • Review drawings, specifications, and contracts to ensure compliance
  • Work closely with ownership and senior management to provide project updates
  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to company standards

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years of construction project management experience
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Strong understanding of construction scheduling, budgeting, and project coordination
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (budget tracking, cost analysis, project reporting)
  • Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, contracts, and specifications
  • Experience managing subcontractors and enforcing project timelines
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Ability to solve problems independently and take ownership of projects

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience managing commercial construction projects
  • Experience with project management platforms such as Procore or similar
  • Background in construction management, engineering, or related field
  • Strong understanding of construction safety standards

What We Expect

  • Strong attention to detail
  • Accountability and ownership of assigned projects
  • The ability to work in a fast-moving environment with minimal supervision
  • Professional communication with subcontractors, vendors, and management

We are looking for someone who can step in, get organized quickly, and keep projects moving forward without constant oversight.
