Construction Project Manager – Residential (High-Ownership Role)

Erdman Construction | Geneseo,IL

About Us

Erdman Construction is a process-driven residential builder focused on remodels, additions, and custom homes.

We are not a “figure it out as you go” company. We are building a structured operation designed to scale from $5M to $10M+, with clear systems, defined roles, and accountability at every level.

The Opportunity

This is a high-ownership Project Manager role.

You are not just coordinating jobs—you are responsible for running profitable projects from start to finish.

You will have:

Clear scopes and estimates handed off properly
Defined systems for scheduling, budgeting, and communication
Leadership support—but full ownership of execution

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Owning projects from contract to completion
Maintaining schedules and holding trades accountable
Managing job budgets and protecting margins
Tracking job costs weekly (not at the end when it’s too late)
Leading client communication with confidence and clarity
Solving problems before they become delays or cost overruns
Delivering clean, organized, and professional job sites

Compensation

$55,000–$75,000 base salary (based on experience)
Performance bonus tied to job profitability and execution
Company vehicle or allowance (based on role needs)

What We’re Looking For

3+ years managing residential construction projects
Someone who takes ownership instead of making excuses
Strong understanding of job costing and budgets
Ability to manage multiple jobs without losing control
Organized, decisive, and proactive
Comfortable holding subcontractors accountable

What Makes This Role Different

You will not inherit a mess—jobs are scoped and handed off properly
You are judged on profit, schedule, and execution—not just activity
No internal chaos between sales, estimating, and production
Clear systems in place (and improving)
Real path to grow into Senior PM / Operations leadership

Who This Is NOT For

Someone who needs constant direction
Someone who avoids difficult conversations with subs or clients
Someone who lets jobs drift off schedule or budget
