• Prepare, track, and manage owner and subcontractor change orders.
• Monitor project costs, commitments, forecasts, and financial performance throughout the project lifecycle.
• Lead or participate in project meetings with owners, architects, subcontractors, and internal teams.
• Identify scheduling, procurement, cost, quality, and coordination risks before they impact project performance.
• Support procurement of long-lead materials and coordinate critical project deliveries.
• Maintain organized project records and documentation using Procore or comparable construction-management software.
• Coordinate permitting, inspections, project documentation, and closeout requirements as necessary.
• Support punch-list completion, turnover documentation, warranties, and final project closeout.
• Maintain professional and proactive communication with clients, design teams, subcontractors, and company leadership.
• Partner with field leadership to maintain Osman Construction Corporation's standards for safety, quality, accountability, and customer service.

• Working knowledge of project budgets, cost tracking, forecasting, and financial controls.
• Ability to identify project risks and develop practical solutions before they impact schedule or budget.
• Proficiency with Procore or comparable construction-management software.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Excel.
• Strong written, electronic, and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Ability to travel to project sites throughout the Chicago metropolitan area as needed.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• 7+ years of commercial construction project-management experience.
• Experience managing projects valued between approximately $500,000 and $20 million.
• Experience with ground-up commercial construction.
