About The Position

The Director of Project Management owns project delivery across both divisions — from contract award through final closeout. This role is accountable for schedule, budget, margin, and client experience on every active project, and for building the systems, standards, and team that allow the company to scale delivery capacity without sacrificing quality. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will manage project managers, but you will also personally own the most complex and highest-value engagements, negotiate scope splits with general contractors, and sit at the table on contract and procurement decisions.

Requirements

8+ years of project management experience in construction, custom fabrication, commercial interiors, or a comparable design-build environment.
3+ years directly managing project managers or delivery teams.
Demonstrated ownership of project P&L, including budget development, cost tracking, and margin accountability.
Experience delivering projects in multiple states, including coordination of permitting and inspection processes.
Working command of construction contract structures, including AIA documents, subcontract administration, change order process, and lien/closeout requirements.
Proficiency with construction project management and scheduling platforms; comfort operating inside an ERP-driven financial environment.
Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, millwork, and shop drawings.
Willingness to travel to active project sites (estimated 25–40%, concentrated in the Northeast, Midwest, and Southeast).

Nice To Haves

Direct experience in Class A multifamily amenity renovation, hospitality, or other differentiated environments.
Familiarity with JobTread, Smartsheet, NetSuite Projects/WIP, HubSpot, Procore, or Bluebeam.
Background in custom fabrication or millwork production environments.
OSHA 30, PMP, or equivalent credentials.
Experience operating under both subcontractor and Owner's Representative delivery models.

Establish and enforce standardized project delivery procedures, gate reviews, and documentation conventions.

Prepare and administer AIA G702/G703 pay applications, change orders, and closeout documentation.
