Sr Project Manager

Seat open due to promotion. Direct leadership of a PM/APM team with broad authority over project finances, schedule, and scope. Publicly traded parent company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan and profit sharing.

About us

We are a national commercial and industrial construction contractor operating inside a larger publicly traded organization founded nearly a century ago. Our specialty exteriors group self-performs roofing and siding work for commercial and industrial clients nationwide, alongside sister lines in insulation and scaffolding. You get the resources and stability of a large parent with the decision speed and visibility of a small shop. Tenure here is long: our project management leadership has been with us well over a decade, and this role exists only because the person in it was promoted into a director role on another business line. We recently landed a significant volume of new national work and are hiring ahead of that growth.

Why join us

• 20% annual incentive on top of base that has historically paid at target and can run higher—there has never been a year with no payout
• Broad autonomy and decision-making authority over project finances, schedule, and scope
• Publicly traded parent with an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, profit sharing, and 401(k) match, so your upside isn’t limited to base and bonus
• A hiring manager with 16 years in this business who will teach you the specialty if you come from adjacent commercial or industrial work
• A backlog of newly awarded national projects, meaning you write the team’s playbook during expansion instead of stabilizing a shrinking one
• Day-to-day flexibility inside an onsite-collaborative culture (shared calendar for work-from-home days) with light travel, roughly 2-3 days a month
