Senior Project Manager

About the role

Modern Construction Services is a fast-growing, certified WBENC women-owned commercial construction and facilities maintenance company based in Charlotte, NC. We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead our contractor-side execution.

Responsibilities

• Lead and coach a team of three to five Project Specialists who manage contractor-side execution, and step in when a project goes sideways.
• Own GC-side execution on renovations, retrofits, and facility upgrades: review estimates and scopes, sequence the trades, and manage subcontractors and field personnel.
• Get out to job sites across the US to validate work, resolve field-level issues, and keep multi-trade projects on schedule.
• Qualify subcontractor estimates and validate scopes so problems get caught before they reach the field, not after.
• Partner with Safety and Compliance to keep job sites safe, OSHA-compliant, and up to standard.
• Track KPIs, tighten workflows, and keep data clean across platforms like Fexa, Avetta, Corrigo, and Coupa.

Requirements

• Five or more years of facilities project management on the contractor side.
• We are a general contractor. Owner-side, client-side, or provider-perspective facilities management is a different world than ours.
• Two or more years supervising project teams.
• Experience managing $1 million to $3 million construction projects.
• Hands-on trade knowledge, with electrical or HVAC preferred.
• A strong grasp of GC workflows, estimating, and sequencing, plus experience managing subcontractors and field personnel.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, execution-heavy environment, ideally you have run projects end to end or run your own construction business.

Preferred

• PMP or equivalent, OSHA 10 (minimum), and CMMS experience (Fexa, ServiceChannel, Corrigo, Coupa, Procore).

What it pays

• On-target earnings of $175,000 or more, with real upside for strong performers.
• A base of up to $95,000 depending on experience.
• Quarterly bonuses tied to individual and team performance.
• An annual company performance bonus.
• Full benefits, including medical, dental, and vision, plus a 401k with 3% match.

• Experience managing subcontractors and field personnel.
• Knowledge of safety and compliance standards.
• Experience with project management tools such as Fexa, Avetta, Corrigo, and Coupa.
