Commercial Construction Project Manager, Ground Up
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. The 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, leading to a diverse project mix. The company has a significant and growing pipeline with ambitions for 2027. They are looking for individuals who will help elevate the company on the operations side and ensure projects are completed to a standard that earns repeat business. The role involves owning one ground-up project at a time from preconstruction through closeout, requiring daily monitoring of contractual obligations, schedule management, client/stakeholder coordination, and budget ownership. The current active project is a 58,000 square foot, two-story building with significant civil development, carrying liquidated damages and contractual obligations that need daily monitoring. This is an in-office role, not a field or remote position, but requires regular site visits. The Project Manager is the client-facing lead, while Superintendents are on-site most of the time.
