Job description

ABC Story

At Action Behavior Centers, our mission is to provide life‑changing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children with autism. Our centers are thoughtfully designed environments that support learning, development, and engagement for the children and families we serve.

Position Summary

We are seeking a driven and detail‑oriented Project Manager to join our New Centers team and lead the construction build‑out of new therapy centers from start to finish. This role serves as the primary point of contact for contractors and vendors, ensuring projects are completed on time, within scope, and on budget. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment, enjoys problem‑solving, and takes pride in executing projects with precision and efficiency. While this role requires travel and occasional extended hours during key project phases, it offers the opportunity to directly impact the successful launch of new centers and expand access to care for children and families. Training will be provided, but the right candidate will quickly take ownership and operate independently with confidence.

For this role we’re looking for a teammate that is Dallas/Fort Worth based and comfortable with traveling throughout this region. Additional responsibilities may require travel throughout other ABC markets as needed.

Responsibilities

• Manage and communicate project timelines, milestones, and updates with internal teams and leadership
• Partner with contractors to define scope, expectations, and deliverables
• Coordinate and schedule contractors to ensure timely project completion
• Oversee ordering and setup of initial center inventory and operational needs
• Collaborate with Office Managers to support center openings and readiness
• Serve as the primary point of contact for contractor and vendor communications
• Support cross‑functional teams with ad‑hoc projects as needed

Experience

• 3–5 years of construction project management experience strongly preferred
• Comfortable working in hands‑on environments and navigating tools, materials, and build‑outs
• Highly detail‑oriented, organized, and adaptable in dynamic settings
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to execute independently with minimal supervision
• Experience with project management tools (e.g., Asana) is a plus

ABC’s Core Values

• Caring: Driven to make a meaningful impact by expanding access to quality therapy
• Excellence: Committed to precision, organization, and doing things the right way
• Fun: Brings positive energy and finds joy in the work
• Learning: Continuously seeks growth and improvement for self and team
• Team: Operates with a team‑first mindset. Your success is the team’s success.
• Travel Requirements: (up to 75%)

Perks

• 10 Days of PTO, 10 Paid Holidays, 2 Flex Days + More with Tenure
• Student Loan Repayment Employer Contributions
• Maternity/Paternity Award of up to $3,000 & FSA Options for Childcare
• Door Dash Pass and Regional Night of Honors
• Up to $600 Student Loan Repayment Options & Tuition Discounts

Additional Rewards

• Professional development: we want to pour into you as you pour into ABC
• Leadership opportunities: To be the best, we have to continually keep learning and you get to push yourself here to learn more and take on more responsibilities, and show what you can do!
• 401K Retirement Plans with company matching

Compensation

• $80,000 – 90,000 base + performance based bonus potential
