Job description

Blair Commercial Painting, LLC

Project Manager

Location: Waukesha, WI (office-based with regular field visits)

Blair Commercial Painting, LLC is a well-known and award-winning commercial painting company in Southeast Wisconsin. We are a proud member of the PCA and specialize in commercial interior and exterior painting. Our team takes great pride in providing our customers with the best overall results and experience. We work in a high-performance, fast-paced culture and love bringing awesome people onto our team, people who are honest, hardworking, follow through, and genuinely care about coworkers, customers, and trade partners.

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to oversee commercial painting projects for new construction and commercial developments.

Direct painting experience is not a strict requirement for this role.

This is not a desk job; you'll spend the majority of your time in the field visiting job sites, coordinating work, and making sure projects run smoothly, safely, on time, and on budget. If you are proactive (not reactive), enjoy planning ahead, and like being the "go-to" person who keeps jobs on track and clients informed, this could be a great fit.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed project plans, scope, schedules, and budgets.
• Coordinate with general contractors, owners, and subcontractors before and during projects.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients on your projects.
• Provide regular updates, manage expectations, and handle change orders.
• Monitor hours, material costs, and equipment expenses.
• Track job performance and profitability throughout the project.
• Coordinate labor, equipment, and materials to hit deadlines.
• Ensure adherence to project specifications, safety standards, and Blair quality standards.
• Conduct regular site visits and inspections to verify quality and scope.
• Identify potential issues early and implement solutions to keep projects on track.
• Maintain accurate project documentation (contracts, change orders, progress reports).
• Use Blair's software tools (CompanyCam, Airtable-based platforms, Google Workspace, etc.) to keep everything updated.
• Ensure compliance with relevant codes, regulations, and safety requirements.
• Recommend process improvements that enhance efficiency and client satisfaction.
  

Qualifications

• 3 or more years of construction management experience is preferred (painting or related trades is useul but not essential).
• Strong understanding of construction processes, scheduling, coordination, and jobsite logistics perferred.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills, you can juggle multiple projects without dropping details.
• Clear, professional communication skills with clients, crews, and trade partners.
• Confident using project management and documentation tools (Google Workspace; experience with CompanyCam, Airtable, or similar systems is a plus).
• Solid problem-solving skills and the ability to think ahead, not just react.
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record.
• Ability to walk job sites, climb ladders/lifts as needed, and work in active construction environments.
  

Compensation

• Full-time, W-2 position
• Pay: $70,000 - $90,000 per year, depending on experience, plus $6000 bonus option.
• Company vehicle for jobsite travel.
• Company phone and computer.
• Gas card.
• Paid time off: PTO plus 7 paid holidays.
• Health insurance reimbursement.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Flexible schedule within project needs.
• Bonus opportunities based on performance and company results.
• A stable, growth-oriented company with a strong reputation and great culture.

If you're an experienced construction Project Manager who actually does what you say you're going to do, and you want to join a company that values honesty, hard work, and treating people right, we'd love to hear from you.
