Vantis•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

We are Vantis, the construction division of One Workplace. We’ve committed ourselves to re-imagining the entire construction process by balancing speed, efficiency, cost certainty and customization. This means instituting new ways of thinking, new methods, and a new attitude—rather than settling for “how it’s always been done”. It's no easy feat, but we're not your average construction company. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we combine a wide range of expertise in prefabrication, modular, and general construction to solve each challenge creatively––and with the best approach for every job. This purposeful convergence of technology, automation, manufacturing, and construction results in safer project sites with far less waste, optimized productivity of internal and external labor, reduced environmental impacts, and delivers high-performing spaces with greater cost and schedule certainty than conventional construction methods. Fueled by a relentless curiosity, our team of designers, architects, engineers, and contractors bring with them diverse backgrounds, a shared passion for innovation, and a common belief that there’s always a better way to build. If this sounds like you, then we invite you to come build a future with us. POSITION OVERVIEW The Project Manager oversees construction projects from pre-construction through closeout. As the primary point of contact for owners, architects, and subcontractors, you will be responsible for ensuring that every project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
