Job description

Construction Project Manager

Location: On-site | Nashville, TN

Join a rapidly growing specialty contractor delivering complex construction projects that protect high-visibility government, commercial, and critical infrastructure sites across the country. This role is ideal for a construction professional who has progressed through Project Engineer or Assistant Project Manager roles and is ready to take ownership of project delivery—from preconstruction coordination through closeout.

Backed by double-digit growth and an entrepreneurial leadership team, this position offers the opportunity to manage multimillion‑dollar design‑build construction projects while working directly with executives and clients on mission‑critical infrastructure installations. Projects involve physical security and site protection efforts, including controlled access solutions, perimeter safeguards, structural barriers, and related construction work supporting government and infrastructure facilities.

This is an on‑site role based in the Nashville area supporting projects throughout the region.

What You’ll Do

• Lead cradle‑to‑completion delivery of multiple concurrent construction projects (typically $1M–$10M) ensuring scope, schedule, cost, and quality targets are met or exceeded
• Build and manage detailed budgets, schedules of values, and cash‑flow forecasts; track cost‑to‑complete and drive timely invoicing
• Direct daily coordination among superintendents, subcontractors, engineers, and vendors to keep field activities aligned and on pace
• Manage subcontractor scopes, schedules, and performance across multiple trades while maintaining strong coordination with field teams
• Prepare and submit submittals, RFIs, change orders, progress updates, and close‑out documentation
• Oversee procurement of long‑lead materials and equipment, anticipating supply‑chain risks and adjusting plans proactively
• Champion site safety and quality by developing project‑specific safety plans and facilitating job‑hazard analyses and QC inspections
• Represent the company in meetings with clients, architects/engineers, and regulatory stakeholders
• Mentor assistant PMs and field staff while promoting a collaborative, high‑performance team culture

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Competitive Pay: competitive base salary depending on experience, plus profit‑sharing bonus.
• Total Rewards: 4% 401(k) match, comprehensive medical/dental/vision benefits, life insurance, and generous PTO.
• Career Growth: Direct exposure to leadership, visibility on high‑impact projects, and a clear path to senior project leadership.
• Culture: Entrepreneurial, mission‑driven environment focused on innovation, ownership, and teamwork.
• Perks: Company‑paid travel, professional development opportunities, and shared tickets to local sporting events.

What You’ll Bring

• 4–8 years of construction project experience within a commercial general contractor or specialty contractor environment
• Experience progressing through Project Engineer → Assistant Project Manager → Project Manager roles preferred
• Experience delivering commercial construction or specialty contracting projects for government, industrial, or large commercial clients
• Proven success managing subcontractor performance, project budgets, schedules, RFIs, submittals, and change orders
• Experience with Procore, Bluebeam, MS Project, Buildertrend, or similar construction project management software
• Working knowledge of OSHA safety standards, construction codes, and quality control practices
• Ability to travel to project sites as required (primarily within the Southeast)
• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, Business, or related discipline preferred (or equivalent field experience)
• Certifications such as PMP, CCM, OSHA 30, or USACE CQM are a plus
