We’re looking for a motivated construction professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes ownership, and is energized by leading teams and delivering high-quality projects.

What You’ll Do

Lead Projects End-to-End: You will take ownership of projects from post-bid through closeout, ensuring alignment between scope, schedule, budget, and client expectations. You’ll drive accountability across internal teams and trade partners to deliver successful outcomes.

Preconstruction & Buyout: Partner with Estimating to support bid packaging, validate project scope, and lead a thorough and strategic buyout process. You’ll ensure subcontractor scopes are complete, competitive, and aligned to prevent gaps or overlaps.

Manage Financial Performance: Translate estimates into project budgets, manage cost controls, and oversee change management. You’ll review subcontractor invoices, prepare owner pay applications, and ensure financial accuracy throughout the project lifecycle.

Schedule & Execution: Develop and actively manage the project schedule. You’ll proactively identify risks, maintain momentum, and ensure materials and trades are delivered on time to keep projects on track or ahead of schedule.

Build Strong Relationships: Serve as a key point of contact for clients, design teams, and subcontractors. Your ability to communicate clearly and professionally, both written and verbal, will be critical to building trust and driving results.

Safety: Work closely with field leadership and the Safety team to uphold IMC’s “Safety First” culture. Support the development and consistent execution of project-specific safety plans, ensuring a safe and well‑managed jobsite for all team members.

Lead & Develop Teams: Guide and support Project Engineers and APMs while fostering strong relationships with subcontractors and vendors. You’ll help elevate team performance and contribute to a collaborative, high-performing project environment.
