About The Position

Golden Triangle Construction (GTC), a 100% employee-owned commercial general contractor, is hiring a Senior Project Manager to lead complex commercial construction projects throughout Colorado, particularly in public and institutional sectors such as municipal facilities, K–12 and higher education buildings, fire stations, and emergency services training facilities. The role carries senior-level ownership and accountability, not an entry-level or developing project-manager scope. The Senior Project Manager leads projects from preconstruction through closeout and is primarily responsible for financial performance, contract administration, schedules, risk management, client relationships, and project-team development. The position works closely with company leadership, Superintendents, subcontractors, design professionals, and public-sector clients to deliver successful projects while safeguarding GTC's reputation, relationships, and profitability. This is a full-time, exempt position based at GTC's Frederick, Colorado office, with regular travel to active jobsites throughout Colorado's Front Range. Candidates must reside in or relocate to Colorado; the position is not remote. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with additional hours as project demands require. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates. The annual base salary range is $120,000–$160,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

At least 8 years of progressively responsible commercial construction project-management experience, including substantial responsibility for budgets, schedules, contracts, and client relationships.
