About The Position

Magnum Drywall is a premier multi-trade finishing subcontractor serving Silicon Valley since 1991. We are known for speed, precision, and zero-punch delivery across Drywall, Division 10 Specialties, Acoustical Ceilings, Paint & Wall Coverings, and Plaster. Our mission is simple: build better lives for our employees, customers, and communities. We operate by five core values: All One Safe Team, We Tell It Straight, Zero Punch, We Set the Standard, Passionate for What We Do. If you want to work with professionals who take pride in their craft and finish what they start, keep reading. The Role We're hiring a Drywall Project Manager to take commercial projects from pre-construction to close-out. You own the outcome: scope verified, paperwork clean, schedule held, client satisfied, margin protected. You'll report to the Head of Drywall and work alongside Project Engineers, Superintendents, and field crews. This is not a seat-warmer role. We're looking for an operator who runs projects, not someone who waits for projects to run them.

Requirements

3+ years managing commercial drywall, plaster, or related trade projects
Proven ability to verify scope against construction documents and defend it in GC meetings
Proficient in On-Screen Takeoff (OST) and QuickBid — you can run a takeoff and build a change order bid without hand-holding
Proficient in Procore (non-negotiable)
Working understanding of construction P&L — you can read a job cost report and tell me where the problem is
Organized, detail-oriented, and fast on email and phone
You delegate well and ask for help when you need it — ego doesn't ship projects
Clean driving record, ability to pass a background check and drug screen
