Job description

Commercial Construction Project Manager

Charlotte, NC

Build Complex Projects. Own the Process. Grow Your Career.

We are recruiting for a respected commercial general contractor that is seeking an experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager to join its Charlotte, North Carolina team.

With decades of success and a strong backlog of work, this company has built its reputation by delivering high-quality commercial projects while maintaining long-term relationships with both employees and clients. Nearly all of its work comes from repeat business - a testament to its commitment to quality, integrity, and exceptional service.

Unlike many large national contractors where responsibilities are highly specialized, this role offers the opportunity to manage projects from preconstruction through closeout, giving you ownership of the entire project lifecycle while working alongside an experienced leadership team.

If you're looking for a company that values long-term careers, collaboration, accountability, and doing the right thing, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

As a Commercial Construction Project Manager, you'll oversee multiple commercial construction projects while partnering closely with field leadership, clients, architects, engineers, and subcontractors to ensure projects are completed safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Responsibilities

• Manage commercial construction projects from preconstruction through final closeout
• Develop and maintain project schedules while proactively managing critical path activities
• Review shop drawings and submittals for compliance with contract documents
• Prepare and manage Requests for Information (RFIs), change orders, purchase orders, and subcontract agreements
• Monitor project budgets, forecasting, job costs, and financial performance throughout each project
• Lead owner, architect, engineer, and subcontractor coordination meetings
• Build strong working relationships with clients, design teams, subcontractors, and field personnel
• Coordinate project logistics, procurement, and scheduling to keep projects moving efficiently

• Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, scheduling, and job cost management
• Experience preparing RFIs, submittals, purchase orders, and subcontracts
• Ability to successfully manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills
• Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with industry-standard construction management software, including:

• Primavera P6
• BIM platforms

Knowledge of:

• Commercial MEP systems
• Building commissioning
• Quality control processes

What Makes This Opportunity Different

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Manage projects from cradle to grave
• Work directly with experienced leadership that provides guidance without micromanaging
• Join a company with a strong backlog and long-term stability
• Build relationships with repeat clients who value quality and service
• Work for an organization that prioritizes integrity, teamwork, and community involvement
• Grow your career with a company that promotes from within whenever possible

Projects are primarily located throughout North Carolina, allowing employees to maintain an excellent quality of life without extensive overnight travel.
