Job description

Atlanta, GA | Regional Leadership Role | Leading General Contractor

We are working with one of America’s oldest and most established general contractors on a Senior Project Controls Manager position based in Atlanta, Georgia.

This is a key regional role supporting a major construction business unit, reporting into the Director of Project Controls. The person coming in will act as the Project Controls lead for the region, helping project teams improve visibility around cost, forecasting, systems, change management, risk, financial performance, and overall project delivery.

This is not a reporting only function. The company is looking for someone who understands construction operations, can speak the language of project teams, and can help drive process, accountability, and consistency across the region.

The Company

The business is a long-established, national general contractor with a strong reputation across aviation, mission‑critical, healthcare, government, education, sports, laboratory, transportation, and large‑scale commercial construction.

They offer the stability, leading benefits, and project exposure of a major national contractor, while maintaining a family‑owned culture where people are developed, supported, and retained long‑term.

The Role

The Project Controls Manager / Senior Project Controls Manager will support projects across the region.

The immediate focus will include supporting the regional business unit across a major football stadium, healthcare, and complex commercial construction projects, with further large‑scale work already coming through the pipeline.

The role will involve:

• Leading project controls practices across the region
• Supporting project teams with cost, forecasting, reporting, change management, and project performance
• Driving consistency around project controls standards, systems, and processes
• Training operations teams and helping drive adoption of company systems
• Partnering with Project Directors, Operations Managers, Project Managers, Superintendents, and executive leadership
• Supporting GMP strategy, job cost budgets, financial reviews, and project execution planning
• Monitoring KPIs and taking action to improve project performance
• Leading regional project performance reviews
• Supporting standards around value management, change management, purchasing, subcontractor prequalification, awards, and recommendations
• Helping project teams improve forecasting accuracy and commercial visibility
• Supporting the rollout and improvement of project controls systems and software

This could suit someone from a Project Controls Manager, Senior Project Controls Manager, or Project Manager background who has worked closely with operations on large‑scale, complex construction projects.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Up to $160k base salary + bonus + industry‑leading benefits package.
• This is a chance to step into a regional leadership role with a well‑established national contractor that is continuing to invest in project controls.
• You will have direct visibility with senior project controls leadership and regional operations leadership, while supporting major projects across Atlanta and the wider Southeast market.
• You will have the opportunity to work on some of the nation’s largest and most exciting construction projects, including complex, high‑profile work across sports, healthcare, aviation, data centers, commercial, and other major sectors.
• The company offers the scale, stability, and project exposure of a major national contractor, while still maintaining a family‑owned culture where people are supported, developed, and retained long‑term.
• This is an opportunity to join a business with a strong reputation, long history, and relationship‑led culture, where project controls is seen as a key part of successful project delivery rather than just a reporting function.
• The company is also continuing to grow its project controls function across multiple regions, so this role offers long‑term progression and the opportunity to help shape how project controls supports operations across the business.
