Job description

COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGER

Fredericksburg, Texas | Full-Time | Build Great Projects. Own the Outcome.

Are you a construction professional who wants more than simply managing schedules and paperwork?

A well-established and growing commercial general contractor in the Texas Hill Country is seeking an experienced Commercial Construction Project Manager to take ownership of projects from preconstruction through final closeout.

This is an opportunity to join a company with a strong history, an active project pipeline, and significant growth ahead. You'll have direct access to leadership, meaningful responsibility, and the opportunity to make decisions that have a visible impact on both the project and the business.

If you're the kind of PM who knows the numbers, builds strong relationships, anticipates problems before they become problems, and takes pride in delivering an exceptional finished project, we'd like to talk with you.

What You'll Do

You'll have responsibility for the overall success of assigned commercial construction projects, including:

• Lead projects from preconstruction and handoff through completion and closeout.
• Develop and manage project budgets, schedules, forecasts, and overall financial performance.
• Coordinate owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, vendors, and internal project teams.
• Partner closely with the Superintendent to keep field execution aligned with schedule, budget, quality, and client expectations.
• Manage subcontracts, purchase orders, change orders, RFIs, submittals, pay applications, and project documentation.
• Identify project risks early and develop practical solutions before they affect the schedule or budget.
• Monitor costs, commitments, projections, and profitability throughout the project lifecycle.
• Lead project meetings and communicate clearly with clients and project stakeholders.
• Maintain accountability across project teams and trade partners.
• Support project closeout, punch-list completion, turnover, and final financial reconciliation.
• Build relationships that create repeat clients, trusted subcontractor partnerships, and successful projects.

What We’re Looking For

We're looking for someone who understands that strong project management is equal parts construction knowledge, financial discipline, leadership, and communication.

The strongest candidates will bring:

• Significant commercial construction project-management experience.
• Demonstrated responsibility for projects from planning through completion.
• Strong understanding of construction documents, contracts, budgets, schedules, change management, and project controls.
• Experience managing subcontractors and coordinating multiple trades.
• Solid financial acumen and an understanding of project profitability.
• Ability to communicate effectively with owners, architects, engineers, field teams, and subcontractors.
• Strong organization, judgment, and problem-solving skills.
• Confidence making decisions and taking ownership when challenges arise.
• Construction Management, Construction Science, Engineering, or related education is preferred, although substantial relevant construction experience will also be considered.

The Opportunity

This isn't a position for someone who simply wants to maintain a project.It's for someone who wants to own it.

You’ll join an established contractor during an exciting period of growth and have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with company leadership.
• Lead meaningful commercial projects.
• Have real ownership and autonomy.
• Build strong client relationships.
• Influence processes and project outcomes.
• Grow your career as the organization continues to expand.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive compensation will be based on experience and the value you can bring to the role. The overall package includes company benefits and additional compensation considerations appropriate for an experienced commercial construction professional.
