Construction Project Manager – Reconstruction
About The Position
We're partnering with an established property restoration and reconstruction company in the Flowood/Jackson area to hire a Reconstruction Project Manager to oversee residential and commercial reconstruction projects following property damage. This is a true cradle-to-grave project management role. You'll own projects of all sizes - from a $5,000 residential repair to a significant commercial or large-loss reconstruction - and be responsible for keeping the customer, subcontractors, schedule, budget, and project moving forward. If you know construction, we can teach you restoration. Experience in insurance restoration is valuable, but we're equally interested in strong construction professionals who understand how to manage trades, schedules, budgets, customers, and job sites. This role is different from some construction PM positions as you will personally coordinate your subcontractors, visit your job sites, monitor progress, communicate with customers, solve problems, and drive the project to completion. You'll also manage projects of every size, and it's a subcontractor-driven model, so you should come with an established network of reliable local tradespeople.

- Established relationships with subcontractors/trades in the Jackson, MS market
