About The Position

As a Construction Project Manager at Nordstrom, you'll lead construction projects across our retail stores, supply chain facilities, and corporate offices — from early scoping through final closeout. You'll own the full project lifecycle, keeping work on track across budget, schedule, and quality while navigating the complexity and pace of a dynamic retail environment. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, leads with clarity, and builds trust with people at every level. You’ll bring a strategic mindset to every project, anticipating risks before they materialize, making sound decisions with incomplete information and managing complexity across multiple workstreams without losing sight of the bigger picture.

Degree in Construction Management, Architecture, or a related field
Strong foundation in estimating, contracts, site operations, and safety within operating stores
Strong communicator and problem solver with exceptional organizational skills
Able to manage multiple projects, interpret contract documents and MEP systems, and build trust across multidisciplinary teams to drive clear, effective decision-making
Forward-thinking, quality-driven professional with a continuous improvement mindset
Proficient in industry tools (Microsoft Office, Bluebeam, Smartsheet, Coupa, AutoCAD, scheduling software)
Willing to travel up to 40%
