Senior Project Manager - Construction

Modern Construction Services•Charlotte, NC

About The Position

The Senior Project Manager of Construction leads the delivery of construction, facilities improvement, and maintenance projects across industrial, banking, healthcare, and commercial office environments. The role manages multi‑trade coordination, proper sequencing, permitting, and detailed estimate qualification for a wide range of initiatives — from large‑scale rollouts and renovations to facility-level upgrades for national clients. This leadership role requires strong technical depth paired with a hands-on approach to developing people. You will support and guide your team through the full lifecycle of special projects — ensuring they can manage multiple trades, execute proper sequencing, and confidently review and qualify estimates. Your attention to detail sets the standard, and your organization and follow‑through keep complex work moving with precision. We are looking for a proactive, energetic, and business-savvy leader who drives performance and brings commercial clarity to every client interaction and internal conversation. You know how to influence outcomes, build trust across subcontractors and internal teams, and move projects forward without losing sight of the details that matter most. Equally important is how you show up. You represent the company brand in every interaction — conducting yourself with professionalism, upholding our core values, and modeling the respect, communication, and commitment to quality that define how we operate and grow. This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in construction, or multi-trade project delivery who is ready to lead a high-performing team and make a measurable impact on the business.
