This position will primarily work out of the Greater Baton Rouge area.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Planning, Schedule & WBS: Create and actively manage the project schedule and work breakdown structure (WBS) from award through closeout. Update durations, float, and critical path as conditions change — both are living documents the PM owns start to finish.
• Decision-Making: Serve as the job's decision-maker when options and obstacles arise.
• Point of Contact — Construction Team: Serve as the primary liaison between the field team and the GC, owner, and other trades. All key external communication channels through the PM.

• Financial Management: Complete billings per contract requirements. Manage AR — track invoices and follow up on payment. Review and approve all project invoices before submission or payment.
• Labor Management: Know your crew's capabilities. Manage labor projections to stay ahead of budget. Coordinate all labor moves with the Field Manager.
• Change Order Management: Identify, price, and submit change orders per contract — on time, every time. Never permit out-of-scope work without written direction.
• Job Site Visits & Meetings: Visit the site at minimum weekly for QC and progress checks. Attend all job meetings — OAC, GC coordination, owner-driven.
• Marketing: Treat every interaction with an owner, GC, or architect as a marketing opportunity. Deliver on commitments, communicate professionally, and bring relationship opportunities to leadership.
