For more than two decades, the company has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, collaborative client relationships, and delivering high-quality construction projects that consistently exceed expectations. The Senior Construction Project Manager will serve as a key leader within the organization, responsible for managing complex multifamily construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout.

Monitor project quality, safety, schedule, and budget while proactively resolving project challenges. Manage project closeout, punch lists, final inspections, and turnover documentation.

Qualifications: 5+ years of commercial construction project management experience with a General Contractor. Ground-up multifamily construction experience strongly preferred. Experience managing multiple commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. Strong knowledge of scheduling, budgeting, subcontractor management, buyouts, contract administration, and change order management. Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawings. Excellent leadership, communication, and relationship management skills with owners, architects, consultants, and subcontractors.

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.
