Commercial Construction Project Manager, Ground Up

Bosun•Dallas, TX

23h•$85,000 - $120,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Bosun Solutions is hiring on behalf of a mid-tier commercial general contractor serving clients across the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. This is a confidential search. Our client self-performs 5 to 10 ground-up new construction projects a year alongside a high-volume tenant improvement division. They win work through relationships rather than by chasing a single niche, so the project mix is genuinely diverse. The pipeline is significant and still growing, with real ambitions for 2027. They are looking for pillars of the organization, people who will help elevate the company on the operations side and see projects through to a finish that earns repeat work. The Role: You will own one ground-up project at a time, and you will own it completely. The current active project is a 58,000 square foot two-story building, roughly a 24,000 square foot footprint, with significant civil development. It carries liquidated damages and a set of contractual obligations that require daily monitoring. It is a substantial project and it needs a capable manager on it now. This is an in-office role. It is not a field position and it is not remote, but you will be out at the job site on a regular basis, meeting with the client, stakeholders, architects, and engineers, and then back at the office for the balance of your work. Superintendents are on site the majority of the time; the Project Manager is the client-facing lead.

Requirements

Ground up commercial experience is required for this seat and is not tradeable against other strengths.
Entry level: roughly 2 years of ground up experience

Entry level: Confident reading commercial plans, with room to sharpen on a complex project
Mid level: Four to five years running ground up commercial projects end to end
Mid level: Plan reading proficiency at the highest level. For this seat the client expects a ten out of ten
Mid level: Experience on projects carrying liquidated damages or comparable contractual exposure
This role is scoped for someone in the first five years of their project management career.
The strongest predictor of success is an exceptionally high level of personal organization alongside the technical capability.
Accountability, work ethic, honesty, and integrity are simply how you operate
