About The Position

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER If you're a Project Manager who's tired of living in reaction mode - chasing fires, fixing avoidable problems, and carrying stress that shouldn't exist - this role was built for you. At UrbanCore, we believe planning and discipline create freedom. When projects are planned well and executed with intention, our teams can do great work and have a life outside of it. We don't glorify chaos. We operate within systems that protect our people, our partners, and our projects. We're looking for a Project Manager who values structure, accountability, and respect - and who wants to run work with clarity instead of chaos. WHAT ITS LIKE TO WORK HERE: UrbanCore is a highly collaborative environment built on respect for the work, the plan, and the people doing it. Most construction environments accept chaos as part of the job. We don't. We set clear expectations, plan work intentionally, and drive accountability without blame. When we plan and execute well, our teams: Do better work. Create flexibility through discipline. Protect their time and energy, controlling their day and enjoying time off. Deliver consistent results. THE ROLE As a Project Manager, you are the connector between people, plans, and outcomes. You don't just manage tasks, you'll lead execution from preconstruction turnover through closeout by: Translating plans into predictable field execution. Leading teams with clarity by maintaining structure and visibility across all phases of the work. Protecting the project, and the team, from unnecessary chaos. Owning outcomes including schedule, cost, quality, and relationships. This role is best suited for someone who believes that calm, disciplined leadership produces better results than constant reaction.
