You have delivered a building, not only a floor- You read drawings, buy the right scopes, and know what the structure and skin are supposed to look like in the field- NYC or equivalent dense-city building experience is the preference- Procore (or similar), Bluebeam, and a resume that names the buildingsWHO THIS IS NOT- TI/interiors PM with no ground-up or core & shell- PE who has never owned a job- CM agency/owner’s rep who has not run the work for a GC- Anyone whose largest “building” is a renovation inside someone else’s shellPAYBase $150,000–$195,000, depending on ground-up GC time and the size of buildings you have run. Bigger buildings and a true senior sit higher.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
