Job description

Do you get a strange satisfaction from RFIs being answered on time?

Does a well-organized submittal log make your day?

Are you an experienced Senior Construction Manager looking for meaningful work without sacrificing work-life balance?

If you answered yes, co-elevate might be the right opportunity for you.

At co-elevate, we tackle meaningful projects—from designing buildings to industrial facilities—while recognizing that our employees’ priorities extend beyond work. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, architects, contractors, and other team members to create safe, efficient, and innovative structures. If you’re passionate about building and ready to make a difference with a team that values balance, we’d love to connect with you!

A Day in the Life of a Construction Manager at co-elevate

• Attend a stand-up meeting with your scrum team to discuss yesterday’s challenges and plan for the day’s tasks.
• Provide meaningful oversight and mentorship of less experienced staff by providing guidance and reviews.
• A daily break for a game of Table Tennis or Golf Simulator is always welcomed.
• Attend one of co-elevate's group events such as potlucks, lunch & learns, book club, etc.
• Participate in one of co-elevate's charity causes such as blood drives, toy drives, food drives, or seasonal in-house charity events.
• Conduct drawing reviews to ensure conformance to designs.
• At the end of a long day, it is commonplace for our leadership to send staff members home to ensure work-life balance.
