About the role
Reporting to the Director of Construction, the Project Manager will be responsible for managing commercial construction projects from pre-construction through closeout. This role requires hands-on experience working for a commercial General Contractor, with direct responsibility for project financials, schedules, subcontractor management, procurement, documentation, and overall project execution.
This position is intended for candidates with hands-on General Contractor project management experience. Experience primarily in owner representation, facilities management, engineering/design, property management, or program management without direct GC project execution may not align with the requirements of this role.

- Proactively manage procurement and long-lead materials to maintain project schedule commitments.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, owners, architects, engineers, consultants, and other project stakeholders.
- Lead OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) and project coordination meetings and ensure appropriate project documentation and follow-up.
- Independently prepare, review, manage, and track RFIs, submittals, change orders, purchase orders, and other project documentation.
- Review construction drawings, specifications, and scopes of work to identify constructability issues, scope gaps, cost impacts, and potential project risks.
- Review subcontractor change requests and resolve scope conflicts or discrepancies.
- Review subcontractor invoices and pay applications and manage owner and subcontractor change orders.
- Identify project risks early and develop mitigation strategies before they impact schedule, budget, quality, or client experience.
- Partner with the Superintendent on jobsite logistics, safety compliance, quality control, sequencing, and resolution of field issues.
- Manage permitting and inspection processes in coordination with local jurisdictions.
- Maintain accurate and organized project records using Procore or similar construction management software.
- Oversee project closeout, including punch list completion, as-builts, O&M documentation, warranties, final billing, and turnover requirements.
- Mentor Project Engineers or Assistant Project Managers assigned to the project team, where applicable.
