Job description

About the Role

A leading commercial construction firm is seeking an experienced Project Manager to own the full lifecycle of construction projects from pre-mobilization through final closeout. This is not a support role. The right candidate runs the project, leads the subcontractors, protects the schedule, and holds the financials without escalating routine decisions up the chain.

If you have managed complex, multi-trade construction projects and have the organizational discipline to keep submittals, change orders, and cost reports clean simultaneously, this role was built for you.

What You Will Own

• Develop and execute the project business plan, staging, logistics, and phasing plan from day one
• Serve as the primary point of contact for engineers and architects throughout the project lifecycle
• Lead all subcontractor coordination across architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical trades
• Manage project startup: permits, licenses, jobsite mobilization, and subcontractor pre‑mobilization meetings
• Issue and administer subcontracts and purchase orders; manage payments, insurance, bonds, and safety compliance
• Drive overall project schedule development, updates, and job scheduling meetings
• Implement and enforce the project quality control plan
• Conduct bi‑weekly safety surveys with the project superintendent
• Prioritize, review, and expedite submittals; manage material deliveries to schedule
• Track quantity updates and maintain accurate labor forecasts with field superintendents
• Develop and administer subcontractor and purchase order change orders
• Review and approve material and equipment invoices against project budget
• Prepare payment requests and monitor collections
• Liaise with city and state agencies on project review and inspectionsLead OAC progress meetings; produce monthly status reports
• Manage all project management software inputs: job status reports, projections, change orders, and RFIs
• Execute job closeout documentation, final job report, and final accounting
• Mentor and develop assistant project managers, co‑ops, and interns on active projects

About the Client

The client is a regional commercial general contractor with multiple offices across the Southeast. The Georgia operation runs roughly 250 active job sites at any given time. The self‑perform model means the company owns its craft workforce and its progression paths.

Requirements

Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in construction, engineering, or a related field
• Minimum 5 years of construction project management experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage all aspects of a project: architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical
• Working knowledge of Prolog, E1, or comparable construction project management software
• Basic understanding of financial accounting systems
• Strong verbal communication and interpersonal skills
• Technical writing capability
• Conflict resolution skills
• Exceptional organizational discipline with the ability to manage multiple active workstreams simultaneously
• Willingness to travel and/or relocate as project needs require

Military Candidates

Combat engineers, construction engineers, Seabees, Civil Engineer Corps officers, AFSC 3E professionals, MILCON project managers, and contracting officers with construction contract experience are strongly encouraged to apply. If you managed projects, held a budget, and led people under pressure, we want to hear from you. If your service is not on this list and you still believe the role fits, apply.

A Note for Veterans

If you are transitioning out of the military or recently transitioned, this role was built with you in mind. The qualities the service produces, early arrival, situational awareness around personnel, deference to people with more reps regardless of rank, daily inspection discipline, comfort in heat and rain and mud, small‑unit cohesion, are the qualities that produce a successful operator on these crews. The client has hired veterans for two decades and will be hiring them for the next two. Apply, and tell us about the equipment you ran or maintained in service.

Benefits

• Base pay: $75,000 - $90,000
• Health coverage: Medical, dental, and vision — effective day one.
• Life insurance: Company‑provided — effective day one.
• Retirement: 401(k), eligible day one.
