Project Manager – Healthcare & Mission-Critical Construction

Where Precision Meets Construction: Shaping the Future of Skyler’s Projects

Location: Nationwide

Job No.: 20260304002

Welcome to the Skyler Legacy!

Skyler Design Build, LLC (“Skyler”) is a national builder specializing in healthcare, technically demanding environments, and mission-critical construction where precision, speed, operational continuity, and delivering on time matter most.

Our teams work inside active hospitals and complex medical facilities, delivering projects such as:

surgical suite renovations

sterile processing upgrades

infrastructure modernization

imaging suite installations

emergency response and restoration

mission-critical facility upgrades

We are seeking a Project Manager who is a builder first and a manager second, someone who takes ownership of projects and thrives in technically demanding environments.

This role is regionally based in Denver, Austin, Nashville, or Houston, with occasional travel to a road warrior depending on the office and project needs.

What Makes Healthcare Construction Different

Healthcare construction is not typical commercial construction.

Projects occur inside active hospitals where patients, surgeons, and medical staff depend on operational continuity.

Successful PMs understand how to manage:

ICRA and infection control protocols

strict life safety and regulatory requirements

tight shutdown windows for critical infrastructure

complex coordination with hospital operations

projects where mistakes can impact patient care

Healthcare construction requires precision, discipline, and calm leadership under pressure.

Your Role

The Project Manager oversees the full lifecycle of hospital construction projects, including:

project scoping and feasibility

conceptual estimating and budgeting

design collaboration and constructability review

subcontractor procurement and coordination

construction execution and schedule management

commissioning and system turnover

warranty and maintenance support

You will work closely with Superintendents, estimators, engineers, and healthcare clients to deliver complex projects safely and efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Project Leadership

Manage healthcare construction projects from concept through closeout

Coordinate owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and internal teams

Support field execution alongside Superintendents

Maintain schedule, cost control, and project documentation

Preconstruction & Estimating Support

Assist with conceptual estimating and budgeting

Review drawings, specifications, and constructability

Support scope development and bid coordination

Identify gaps and risk early in project development

Project Controls

Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and pay applications

Track project financial performance and forecasts

Maintain disciplined documentation and reporting

Client & Team Leadership

Maintain strong relationships with healthcare clients

Support development of new project opportunities

Coordinate subcontractors and project stakeholders

The Builder We’re Looking For

At Skyler, our best Project Managers share several traits:

Ownership mindset: they take responsibility for project outcomes

Field-first leadership: they support jobsite execution

Strong financial awareness: they understand cost, margin, and forecasting

Clear communication: they align teams and clients

Problem-solving ability: they thrive in complex environments

Operational discipline: they keep projects organized and documented

If you prefer a slow-paced environment or minimal accountability, this role will not be a good fit.

If you enjoy leading challenging projects that require precision and urgency, you will likely thrive here.

Minimum Qualifications

3+ years of experience as a Project Manager in healthcare construction

5+ years total construction experience

Experience managing projects in active hospitals or mission-critical environments

Ability to read drawings, specifications, and contract documents

Experience with scheduling, cost control, and subcontractor coordination
