**THE BURT GROUP DOES NOT SPONSOR APPLICANTS FOR WORK VISAS

We build fast, we build right, and we take care of our people! The Burt Group is looking for an experienced Project Manager to join a high-performing team where you’ll have ownership over your projects and a clear path to grow into senior leadership.

This isn’t a role where you wait for direction. You’ll manage client relationships, drive schedules, control budgets, and lead your project team from kickoff to closeout with the full support of a collaborative, entrepreneurial organization behind you.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll own all aspects of your assigned projects: client relationships, subcontractor management, scheduling, billing, change orders, and comprehensive closeout. You’ll be the trusted point of contact for clients and a driving force on site alongside your superintendent. Weekly OAC meetings, daily cost tracking, and proactive problem solving are part of the rhythm.

What we’re looking for

• 3–5 years of PM experience on commercial GC projects of $5M+
• Background in healthcare, commercial, or retail renovation with occupied buildings experience a plus
• Strong communicator who builds lasting relationships with clients, architects, and subs
• Proficiency in Procore, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Project, and Sage 100
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Science or related field, or equivalent experience

Why The Burt Group

• Mentorship and learning directly from experienced senior leaders and builders
• Great energy - the kind of place where people genuinely enjoy showing up
• A one-team culture that is collaborative, not political
• We show up for our clients and we show up for each other, that is how we operate
