Senior Project Manager – Commercial Construction
Location: Wetumpka, Alabama
Division: General Construction
Reports To: Vice President of Construction

Company Overview

Our client is a nationwide general contractor and mechanical/HVAC construction firm serving clients across the U.S. since 1995. Headquarters in Anniston, Alabama, with a satellite office in Wetumpka/Montgomery, we specialize in ground-up construction, remodels, infrastructure replacement, and HVAC system projects for major national clients including Lowe’s, Express Oil, Family Dollar, Target, Walgreens, and more.

Under new leadership since 2018, our client has entered a major growth phase—achieving 40% year-over-year expansion and projecting continued strong growth through 2026. Our dual GC and self-performing mechanical capabilities allow us to offer flexibility, scalability, and full-cycle project control for clients across commercial, retail, and light industrial markets.

Role Overview

Our client is seeking a Senior Project Manager to support and grow its Wetumpka / Montgomery operations. This role is intended for an experienced, well-rounded construction PM who can independently manage general construction and mechanical scopes, support local clients, and help stabilize and mentor a growing regional team.
