Job description

• Profit sharing: 10–15% of base, historically paid very consistently

What if your next Project Manager role isn’t fixing someone else’s mess?

• No walking into a team that’s already stretched because three people have left.

This position exists for a much better reason:

Growth.

• An established structural steel fabricator in the Oak Brook area has continued to grow its project workload — and now they’re adding another Project Manager to the team.
• They’ve recently brought in a Senior PM.
• The pipeline is strong.
• And rather than waiting until the team is overloaded, they’re investing ahead of the curve.

So, what would you actually be walking into?

You’ll take ownership of structural steel projects from contract award through fabrication, erection and final completion.

That means you’re not sitting behind a desk simply updating schedules.

You’ll be:

• Reviewing drawings, specifications and contracts
• Building project and fabrication schedules
• Managing RFIs, submittals and change orders
• Coordinating with GCs, erectors and the fabrication shop
• Visiting local jobsites and solving problems in the field
• Managing budgets, forecasts and project billings
• Ultimately owning your projects from start to finish

And the projects?

Think hospitals, medical facilities, offices and major commercial construction.

But here’s the part that caught my attention.

People stay.

This is a business with extremely low turnover and employees who have built long-term careers there.

There’s a collaborative culture, an established reputation in structural steel and a project pipeline already stretching well into next year.

And they back that stability up financially:

• Profit sharing: 10–15% of base, historically paid very consistently
• 401(k) with company match

Who are they looking for?

• Someone with roughly 3–10 years of construction or engineering experience, ideally within structural steel fabrication or structural construction.
• You’ll need to understand drawings, specifications and contract documents — and be comfortable getting out to local jobsites when the project requires it.
• Structural steel experience is important here.
