Job description

Construction Project Manager — Palm Harbor, FL / Tampa Metro

This is an office-based role; candidates must be in located in, or have a concrete connection to the Tampa metro.

About Us

FV Services is a family of construction and facilities management solutions providing an all-in-one resource for retail, franchise, and hospitality clients. Since our founding in 2006, we've completed over 1,000 projects nationally — offering Site Selection, Design and Architectural Plans, Construction Management, and Facilities Management, so our clients never have to juggle multiple General Contractors.

We're a national construction management and general contracting firm specializing in commercial tenant improvements, and we're growing — this role sits at the center of that growth.

The Role

As a Mid-Level Project Manager, you'll be fully autonomous in owning the financial health, schedule, and client relationship for 1–3 concurrent projects, typically ranging from $1M to $3M each, in multiple locations. You are the point person for every client you work with — from bid to close-out.

This isn't a role where you manage a single line item on someone else's P&L. You run your own projects, negotiate directly with owners, and are measured on outcomes: profitability, schedule, and client relationships that turn into repeat business.

Responsibilities:

• Financial Ownership: Assemble project budgets and estimates with the estimating department; manage cost-to-complete forecasting; negotiate owner change orders.
• Subcontractor Management: Bid, buy out, and award trades; write and enforce scopes of work; resolve field disputes and hold subs accountable.
• Full Project Lifecycle: Oversee bidding, award (GC and subcontracts), permitting, construction, and project close-out across multiple simultaneous locations.
• Schedule Enforcement: Maintain and update project schedules; ensure the field team has what it needs to hit milestones.
• Client & Design Relationships: Serve as the primary point of contact for clients, design professionals, and consultants; run weekly Owner-Architect-Contractor (OAC) meetings.
• Quality & Safety: Maintain company safety protocols and quality control standards on every project.
• Business Development: Actively identify and pursue additional construction opportunities; conduct site visits and evaluations for potential projects.
• Reporting: Utilize Procore, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Office for all job tracking and reporting.

What Success Looks Like

First 3 Months — Learn & Assist

• Master our Procore/Smartsheet configurations and complete your first full monthly budget forecasting cycle.
• Build working knowledge of our subcontractor pool, regional trade strengths, and existing owner contract nuances.

First 6 Months — Own & Execute

• Take full, autonomous financial and operational control of 1–2 projects with zero unvetted change orders.
• Run authoritative, productive weekly OAC meetings.

First 12 Months — Optimize & Multiply

• Deliver your projects at or above the original estimated buyout margin.
• Secure at least one letter of intent or formal reference from an existing client for repeat business.
• Fullmentorto theProject Coordinator.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Direct experience running commercial tenant improvement and/or ground-up retail projects in the $1M–$5M range.
• A track record you can speak to specifically — not "we finished on time," but how you rebuilt margin on a project that went sideways, negotiated a scope change, or found a value-engineering save.
• Comfort holding subcontractors accountable and managing multiple concurrent job sites.
• High organizational and communication skills, and fluency with Procore, Smartsheet, and Microsoft Office.

What We Commit to You

• Tools: Procore, Smartsheet, and field technology from day one, with dedicated training time on any tools tied to our current growth and systems integration.
• Budget: Discretionary spending authority of $5,000–$10,000 to solve field problems without waiting on VP sign-off.
• People: Field support from a dedicated (or clearly defined) superintendent — you won't be left to build your team from scratch on every project.
• Cadence: A weekly 30-minute 1:1 with your manager focused on active projects, budget variances, and critical-path issues — plus a separate monthly 1-hour mentorship conversation with a Project Executive or VP focused on your growth, not your task list.

Why Now

As we grow, you're not managing a single line item on someone else's budget — you're building the building. You get direct access to owners, real P&L ownership, and the chance to grow into larger, more complex projects as our project volume expands.

Compensation:

This role is budgeted at ~90K base + a bonus plan. We are not stuck on this number, bring yourself, bring your expertise, let's talk.
