Project Manager, Commercial Construction

MBG Built•Saint Louis, MO

About The Position

MBG is growing and looking for Project Managers who are ready to take ownership, build momentum, and help deliver standout projects that shape communities across St. Louis and the Midwest. Our Project Managers bring energy, initiative, and teamwork to every job—driving progress, solving problems, and keeping projects moving forward with clarity and confidence. If you're excited to work on ground-up construction across multifamily, hospitality, senior living, and student housing, you’ll thrive here. Project Managers at MBG sit at the center of the job—connecting the field, trade partners, designers, owners, and internal teams. You’ll be trusted to keep the plan aligned to scope, schedule, and budget, to communicate risks early and clearly, and to bring disciplined follow-through to every commitment. The best Project Managers in this role combine strong project controls and financial instincts with relationship-building, calm urgency, and the ability to make practical decisions when conditions change. Project Managers own the coordination and execution rhythm of assigned projects. You’re accountable for keeping scope, documentation, schedule, and financial performance aligned—ensuring the right information is in the right hands at the right time, and that risks are identified early, communicated clearly, and actively managed through closeout. Project Managers partner closely with Superintendents, Preconstruction, and Operations leadership to keep projects aligned around scope, schedule, cost, and risk. In this role, strong collaboration and healthy candor matter—raising risks early, communicating clearly, and bringing solutions and recommendations (not just problems) to the table. The expectation is professional, transparent communication—especially when risks emerge—so teams can act early and protect outcomes. This role is a strong fit for Project Managers with at least three years of ground-up GC experience who enjoy owning the details without losing sight of the bigger picture.
