Lead the entire project lifecycle, from construction through closeout and beyond.
Lead project team (superintendent, assistant project manager, project accountant) and oversee and ensure all project administrative requirements are met.
Review, understand, and ensure compliance with all contractual agreements between owners and subcontractors, and manage subcontractor bidding and negotiations.
Partner closely with the site leadership team, which often includes two Superintendents, to support strong field coordination, clear communication, site logistics, sequencing, quality control, and problem-solving.
Develop and implement cost-control measures and documentation procedures to keep projects on budget and on schedule.
Manage subcontractor bidding, scope reviews, negotiations, buyout, change orders, prime contract changes, and project documentation.
Build and maintain strong client relationships as the primary point of contact for all project matters.
Conduct regular site visits with the Superintendent to proactively assess project performance and address any issues.

Lead project closeout, including punch list completion, final billing, owner turnover, warranty coordination, documentation, and lessons learned.

What we're looking for:

10+ years of experience in project management in the construction industry.
Experience managing large, complex custom residential or commercial construction projects, ideally with budgets in the $5 to $25 million range.
Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills, with proven experience managing large-scale, complex projects.
A background in high-end custom residential homes or commercial buildings is required.
