The Opportunity

An established commercial construction contractor is looking for an experienced Project Manager to join its team in North Carolina.

Working across a diverse portfolio of commercial construction projects, you will take ownership of project planning, budgeting, scheduling, subcontractor management and client relationships, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the highest quality standards.

Projects span a range of sectors, including education, healthcare, offices and aviation, offering the opportunity to work on buildings that make a real difference to local communities.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, people-focused business where project managers are trusted to make decisions, take responsibility and build long‑term relationships with clients, architects, subcontractors and internal teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage multiple commercial construction projects from preconstruction through to completion.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets and cost forecasts, identifying risks and opportunities to maximise project profitability.
• Work closely with Project Superintendents to coordinate site activities, subcontractors, materials and project milestones.
• Act as the primary point of contact for owners, architects and other key project stakeholders, providing regular updates on progress, budgets and potential issues.
• Review construction drawings and specifications, identifying design discrepancies, coordination issues and potential code compliance concerns before work begins.
• Manage subcontractor procurement and contract buyout, ensuring accurate scopes of work and competitive costs.
• Review change orders, project costs, subcontractor applications for payment and project billings.
• Oversee quality control, submittals and project documentation, ensuring materials and installations meet project specifications.
• Use project management software, including Procore, to maintain accurate records and support effective project delivery.
• Lead and contribute to project meetings, resolving issues proactively and keeping all parties aligned on programme, budget and quality expectations.

What We're Looking For:

• 3–5+ years of experience in construction project management, ideally within commercial or general contracting.
• A degree in Construction Management, Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant industry experience.
• Strong understanding of construction processes, project budgets, scheduling, contracts and subcontractor management.
• Ability to interpret construction drawings, specifications and project schedules.
• Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience with Procore or similar construction project management platforms.
• Primavera P6 experience would be advantageous.
• LEED accreditation or relevant sustainability training is beneficial.
• Flexibility to work outside standard hours when project demands require it.
• Willingness to travel across North Carolina and South Carolina as required.

Meaningful projects. Play a key role in delivering commercial buildings across sectors such as healthcare, education and aviation.

Ownership and autonomy. Take responsibility for project outcomes in an environment that trusts its people to make informed decisions and move projects forward.

Long-term career development. Build your experience within an established contractor offering opportunities to develop professionally and progress your career.

Employee ownership. Participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), giving you the opportunity to share in the company's success.

• Competitive base salary of $90,000–$120,000, depending on experience.
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
• Medical, dental and vision insurance from Day One.
