BF Construction•Westminster, CA

About The Position

At BF Construction Inc, we are looking for a high-level commercial construction Project Manager who knows how to take a job from concept to closeout and get it done right. This role requires someone who has led complex projects, managed difficult trades, solved problems before they hit the field, and understands how to build work the right way from day one. This is not an entry-level or coordinator role; we want a builder and operator who can fully own the project lifecycle, create structure before work begins, and lead jobs through completion without constant oversight. Our PMs are not paper pushers; you will build the project before crews ever step on site by creating real schedules, sequencing trades correctly, identifying conflicts early, managing field execution, and keeping every moving part aligned from preconstruction through final turnover. You will split time between the field and office. In the field, you will verify quality, readiness, production, and accountability. In the office, you will drive planning, coordination, procurement, budgets, documentation, and execution strategy. The role involves leading multi-site commercial construction projects with required travel, offering above-market compensation based on experience and capability. It is a high ownership, high accountability role.

Strong commercial construction background with deep understanding across multiple trades
Proven ability to independently run projects from start to finish
Experience building and maintaining real-world construction schedules
Ability to think ahead, identify issues early, and prevent field disruption
Strong field presence and leadership skills
High attention to detail — scope gaps, plan conflicts, and coordination issues do not slip past you
Experience managing multiple active projects and competing priorities
Clear, direct communication with crews, clients, subcontractors, and leadership
Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and construction documents confidently
Strong understanding of sequencing, logistics, constructability, and execution planning
Ability to hold subcontractors accountable while maintaining productive relationships
