The ideal candidate will bring 10+ years of Project Management experience with a commercial general contractor and have a strong background in tenant improvements (TI), white box/build-outs, office, industrial, and retail construction.

We are looking for someone who understands the entire construction process and can effectively manage the financial, administrative, client-facing, and operational sides of a project.

Candidates should reside within approximately one hour of the Thousand Oaks office.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage commercial and industrial construction projects from A to Z, including preconstruction, project startup, execution, turnover, and closeout.
• Develop and maintain project budgets, schedules, cost controls, forecasts, and overall project financial performance.
• Lead subcontractor bidding, scope review, buyout, contract negotiations, and subcontractor coordination.
• Coordinate closely with Superintendents and field personnel to maintain project schedules, quality standards, and successful field execution.
• Review and manage project drawings, specifications, RFIs, submittals, change orders, purchase orders, and other construction documentation.
• Coordinate with owners, architects, engineers, consultants, subcontractors, vendors, inspectors, and other project stakeholders.
• Manage procurement and ensure materials and equipment are properly coordinated with project schedules.
• Conduct regular project meetings and provide clear communication regarding schedules, budgets, project progress, and outstanding issues.
• Proactively identify and resolve scheduling, cost, constructability, quality, and subcontractor issues before they impact the project.
• Maintain strong relationships with clients throughout the construction process and ensure expectations are consistently met.
• Oversee project closeout, punch lists, final documentation, and turnover.
• Assist with estimating, budgeting, scope development, and preconstruction efforts as needed.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of Project Management experience in commercial and/or industrial construction.
• Strong preference for candidates coming from a commercial General Contractor environment.
• Proven experience independently managing construction projects through the entire project lifecycle.
• Experience with Tenant Improvements (TI), white box/build-outs, office, industrial, and/or retail construction.
• Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, contracts, scheduling, budgeting, cost control, subcontractor management, and project documentation.
• Ability to successfully manage multiple projects, deadlines, subcontractors, and competing priorities.
• Strong client-facing communication and relationship-management skills.
• Excellent organizational, leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving abilities.
• Must reside within approximately one hour of the Thousand Oaks office.

Who We're Looking For
