Are you the person on site who keeps things moving efficiently, holds everyone accountable, and won’t let safety or quality slide? Do you manage teams and subcontractors with a firm but fair approach and keep projects on schedule and budget no matter what? Do you stay calm under pressure, quickly solve problems, and maintain control when unexpected challenges arise?
At Beckenhauer Construction, we are looking for a Construction Project Manager who takes full ownership from planning through completion, leading crews, enforcing standards, managing contracts, and resolving issues with speed and accuracy. This role demands sharp prioritization skills, a disciplined approach, and the ability to navigate shifting demands without losing focus on compliance and quality.
Pre-construction leadership: Apply thoughtful analysis when reviewing designs and supporting estimating efforts, while helping shape bid and GMP documents. Ensure a smooth start by coordinating permits, insurance, and system setup so the project is positioned for success from day one.
Schedule & cost management: Apply your solution-oriented thinking by building and actively managing the project schedule, keeping long-lead items and pull plans aligned with real progress. Monitor job costs, complete projections, and address issues early to maintain control over the financial outcome.
Documentation control: Let your high standards shine through while overseeing the flow of project information by managing submittals, RFIs, change activity, and pay applications. Ensure accuracy and compliance with all documentation while keeping communication clear between subcontractors, architects, owners, and accounting.
Quality, safety & communication: Apply your ability to stay on top of moving parts by maintaining a consistent field presence to support quality control and reinforce safety expectations. Lead meetings with owners and subcontractors, using clear, direct communication to keep everyone aligned and accountable.
Project closeout: Use your structured thinking when guiding the project through final stages by coordinating punch lists, inspections, and closeout documentation. Ensure a smooth transition by managing final financials, turnover requirements, and delivering a finished project that meets expectations.
We offer competitive pay, generous time off, great insurance coverage, retirement benefits, bonus opportunities, and perks like a company vehicle.
