Senior Project Manager

Charlotte, NC (On-Site; hybrid after 6 months), with regular travel to job sites across the US

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 hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead our contractor-side execution: a hands-on leader who runs renovations, retrofits, and multi-trade projects, and coaches a small team of specialists who do the same. This is a general contractor side role, not an owner-side facilities job.

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).

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.

Pay

• 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.
• Annual company performance bonus.

Benefits

• Full benefits, including medical, dental, and vision.
• 401k with 3% match.

This is your seat if

• You are a contractor at heart who has run projects end to end and knows how the work comes together in the field.
• You like leading a team and getting out to job sites, not managing from a desk.
• You want your pay to reflect what you and your team deliver.

Not your seat if

• Your background is owner-side, client-side, or provider-perspective facilities management.
• You prefer capital planning, asset-lifecycle strategy, or preventive-maintenance programs over hands-on execution.
• You would rather lead from a desk than be out at job sites.
• You would rather run a single project than a team carrying several at once.
