Job description

Build Schools That Shape Michigan's Future

Why This Role Exists + What You'll Lead

Clark is looking for a Project Manager ready to take ownership of K-12 construction projects across Southeast Michigan.

School construction demands more than technical skill. Buildings stay occupied. Summer schedules are compressed. Communities are watching. This role exists to ensure we deliver on the promises districts make to voters - safely, on time, and on budget.

You'll lead renovations, additions, and new construction projects while working closely with Senior Project Managers and Project Executives who provide mentorship and strategic oversight. You'll manage the day-to-day execution, direct Superintendents and Project Engineers, and build trusted relationships with district leadership.

Serving districts across Southeast Michigan - ideal candidates may live near Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Tecumseh, Jackson, Saline, or other surrounding areas.

What You'll Do

• Lead day-to-day execution from preconstruction through closeout
• Develop and manage schedules in partnership with your Superintendent
• Oversee budgets, forecasts, and cost control
• Manage RFIs, submittals, change orders, and documentation
• Conduct weekly trade coordination meetings
• Enforce safety and occupied-building protocols
• Maintain strong communication with district stakeholders
• Mentor Project Engineers and Coordinators

What Success Looks Like

In year one, you're confidently managing active school projects and delivering on opening-day deadlines.

Within a few years, you're leading larger or multiple projects, earning district trust, and preparing for Senior PM responsibilities.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of commercial construction PM experience
• K-12 or occupied-building experience preferred
• Strong scheduling and financial management discipline
• Clear communication with public-sector clients
• Proven ability to lead field and office teams
• Proficiency with ProjectSight, Phoenix, Bluebeam, Microsoft Suite

What Makes Clark Different

You'll have real ownership with real support. Senior leaders are accessible. Estimating and operations collaborate closely. And our self-perform division gives you flexibility when complexity rises.

You'll build schools that serve communities for decades.

Benefits + Culture

• Clark offers profit sharing, generous PTO, 401(k) matching, and comprehensive health coverage.
• We invest in professional development and are a Certified Veteran Friendly Employer.

We are an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Different perspectives make us stronger.
