Job Description

About Us

We are a hands-on general contractor focused on municipal and public-sector vertical construction. We don’t operate in silos—our team is expected to understand and execute across all phases of a project.

We build schools, public facilities, and institutional projects where accountability, documentation, and execution matter.

Position Overview

We are hiring a true Project Manager, not a coordinator.

If your experience is limited to pushing paperwork, managing subs at a high level, or relying on others to carry estimating, this role is not a fit.

This position requires someone who can:

• Build an estimate from drawings
• Perform their own takeoffs
• Understand public bid requirements
• Run the job financially and operationally
• Step into problems and solve them without waiting to be told

You will be expected to own the entire project lifecycle—from bid to closeout.

Core Responsibilities

Estimating & Preconstruction (Non-Negotiable)

• Perform accurate quantity takeoffs without relying on others
• Build and defend detailed estimates for public bids
• Understand bid documents, scopes, and compliance requirements
• Level subcontractor bids and identify scope gaps
• Navigate public bidding requirements without handholding

Project Execution

• Take full ownership of project budgets, schedules, and outcomes
• Manage contracts, change orders, RFIs, and submittals with precision
• Maintain tight control of project financials—no surprises
• Drive projects to completion on schedule and within budget

Municipal Compliance

• Ensure full compliance with public project requirements:
• Prevailing wage
• Certified payroll
• Documentation and reporting
• Coordinate inspections, agencies, and third-party requirements without delays

Field Leadership

• Work directly with superintendents to drive production
• Step into field issues and solve them quickly
• Hold subcontractors accountable to scope, schedule, and quality

Client Management

• Communicate clearly and professionally with municipal clients, architects, and engineers
• Run meetings with authority and preparation
• Represent the company well in public-facing environments

Requirements

• 5+ years as a Project Manager with a general contractor on municipal/public projects
• Proven ability to estimate and perform takeoffs independently
• Strong understanding of public bidding and contract requirements
• Experience managing multiple projects without losing control of details
• Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, and takeoff software
• Strong financial acumen—must understand job cost, forecasting, and risk
