Job description

Project Manager/Senior Project Manager – Construction | Greater Philadelphia

Running good projects but carrying too many at once, with no clear path up? RJB is hiring a Project or Senior Project Manager who wants real support, steady work with national clients, and a company that promotes from within.

About RJB Contracting

Since 1992, RJB Contracting has delivered construction and asset maintenance services for retail, warehouse, and sustainable infrastructure clients nationwide. Headquartered in Spring City, PA, we’re known for safe, reliable execution, strong communication, and managing complex multi-site programs for nationally recognized clients, many of whom we’ve worked with for years.

We look out for each other here. Our field and office teams work as one crew, guided by The Collaborative Way, our company-wide teamwork program. We also make time to celebrate together, with monthly events, anniversary luncheons, care packages for our field team, and a yearly holiday party. Get the job done right, and nobody’s counting hours when you need to catch your kid’s game or make a doctor’s appointment.

The Role

We’re looking for a Project Manager/Senior Project Manager to lead commercial construction projects from preconstruction through closeout. You’ll own the budget, schedule, and client relationship, and work closely with our superintendents and field teams to deliver safe, high-quality projects. Typical projects include remodels, buildouts, and grocery remodels for national retail clients, with individual projects ranging from about $500,000 to $6 million. You’ll have administrative support behind you, so your time goes to clients, schedules, and margins.

What You’ll Do

• Own the financials: cost-to-complete forecasting, monthly projections, and margin on every project
• Buy out and negotiate subcontracts, catching scope gaps before they become change orders
• Manage change orders against contract terms, with both the client and subs
• Build and update the project schedule yourself in MS Projects
• Run multi-site rollout programs across several locations at once for national clients
• Deliver phased remodels in open, operating stores, including night and off-hours work
• Partner with superintendents on safety, quality, and site logistics
• Serve as the client’s main point of contact and grow the relationship into repeat work
• Mentor assistant PMs and project engineers

What You Bring

• 5+ years as the lead PM on commercial construction projects (7+ preferred)
• Has run multiple projects at the same time, from buyout through closeout, with budgets in the $500,000–$6 million range
• Cost-to-complete forecasting and margin responsibility, not just tracking a budget
• Experience negotiating subcontracts and managing change orders against contract terms
• Builds and maintains CPM schedules in MS Projects
• Multi-site or rollout program experience for national clients
• Experience working in occupied or operating retail or grocery sites
• A client track record you can point to: repeat business or accounts you’ve grown
• Working knowledge of building codes, safety regulations, and Procore or similar software
• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
• OSHA 30, PMP, or similar certifications (preferred, not required)
• Travel to project sites as projects and clients require

What We Offer

• Annual salary of $105,000–$150,000, based on experience
• High ownership, high flexibility: deliver for your clients, and handle life’s appointments and sick days without using PTO
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
• RJB pays 95% of the premium for employee-only medical coverage on our base plan
• Dental, vision, and additional voluntary coverage
• Company-paid life insurance and long-term disability
• 401(k) with a 3% company contribution (no employee contribution required)
• Benefits start the first of the month after 30 days
• Paid travel expenses and per diem for out-of-town projects
• Company phone and laptop
• Real room to grow: every one of our directors and VPs started in a lower position at RJB
