About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a rapidly growing, established commercial general contractor in the Waukesha area seeking an experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager/Superintendent to join its expanding team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being actively involved in construction rather than managing projects strictly from behind a desk.

Our client takes a hands-on, collaborative approach to construction, with Project Managers involved in both field operations and overall project delivery. The company specializes in commercial design-build projects, including multifamily developments, retail, office renovations, hospitality, and other commercial facilities.

With a strong backlog, continued growth, and opportunities for advancement, this is an excellent time to join the organization.

What You'll Be Doing

• Oversee commercial construction projects from mobilization through completion.
• Coordinate subcontractors, trade partners, field crews, and daily jobsite activities.
• Manage project schedules, budgets, quality, safety, and overall execution.
• Serve as a hands-on leader in the field, ensuring projects stay on track and issues are addressed quickly.
• Manage 1-2 projects simultaneously, depending on size and complexity.
• Coordinate inspections, material deliveries, subcontractor schedules, and project milestones.
• Participate in project meetings and communicate with owners, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Assist with project financials, including subcontractor buyout, change orders, pay applications, and cost tracking, depending on experience.
• Collaborate with preconstruction and leadership teams to ensure successful project delivery.
• Build strong relationships with customers and trade partners.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in commercial construction with a general contractor or relevant trade contractor.
• Strong field construction knowledge and the ability to coordinate multiple subcontractors.
• Experience overseeing construction schedules, jobsite activities, and project execution.
• Comfortable working in both the field and office.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to lead subcontractors and hold teams accountable.
• A hands-on, team-oriented approach with a strong work ethic.
• Experience with Procore, MS Project, or Bluebeam is helpful but not required.
• A construction management degree is not required.

We are open to candidates at multiple experience levels, including Assistant Superintendents, Field Supervisors, Project Managers, and Senior Project Managers. Responsibilities and compensation will be based on experience.

• Base Salary: $80,000-$130,000, depending on experience
• Profit Sharing: 10% profit-sharing program
• Bonus Opportunities: Additional performance-based bonuses
• Medical Insurance: Employer pays 80%
• 401(k): 3% employer contribution after eligibility requirements are met
• Paid holidays, including additional company holidays
