About The Position

We are looking for a seasoned Project Manager who has led complex jobs, managed difficult trades, proactively identified and resolved issues, and successfully delivered projects. This role requires a PM who can meticulously plan projects before they commence and manage them through completion. Our Project Managers are hands-on builders, not just administrators. You will be responsible for detailed job planning before any crews arrive, including developing realistic schedules, sequencing trades appropriately, and ensuring all necessary preparations are in place for each crew.

The position covers the full project lifecycle from preconstruction through closeout and requires multi-site travel. Compensation is above-market, reflecting the required experience level.
