Project Manager

The Role

You’ll take personal ownership of complex commercial projects from buyout through closeout. This isn’t about coordinating others’ work - it’s about being the owner of quality, driver of schedules, and solver of complex challenges on architecturally significant projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive all aspects of project delivery including buyout, scheduling, cost control, and quality management
• Lead weekly OAC meetings that produce decisions, not just discussions
• Conduct pre-installation meetings to ensure quality before work begins
• Manage RFIs, submittals, and change orders with focus on constructability
• Build and maintain trust and strong relationships with owners, architects, and trade partners
• Ensure projects hit schedule milestones and budget targets without compromise to quality
• Communicate proactively - nobody should ever wonder about project status
• Develop your team and trade partners to deliver at the highest level
• Conduct pre-installation meetings that prevent rework and ensure quality
• Review drawings, submittals, and RFIs with an eye for constructability and coordination
• Identify and resolve conflicts before they impact the field
• Provide innovative solutions when site conditions or design challenges arise
• Develop and maintain schedules that reflect reality while pushing for efficiency
• Track costs with the same rigor you’d apply to your own money

What Success Looks Like

• Think Like a Builder: Understand constructability deeply and catch issues before they hit the field
• Operate with Urgency: Stay ahead of the project naturally, preventing fires instead of fighting them
• Lead With Initiative: Don't wait for someone to tell you what to do, follow up until you get the answer you need and drive progress without someone driving you
• Set High Standards: Know the difference between good and exceptional - and always deliver exceptional

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years Project Manager experience with a General Contractor
• Deep technical construction knowledge, not just scheduling skills
• Natural owner mentality - you care without being told to
• Excellent communicator who responds with urgency and clarity
• Decision maker who moves fast and owns outcomes
• Thrives in high-expectation environments where excellence is the minimum standard
• Knows when to ask for help, avoids suffering in silence
