We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to oversee multiple commercial interior, retail, and financial institution construction projects throughout the region. This role is ideal for a hands-on PM who can independently manage project schedules, budgets, estimating, and client relationships while successfully delivering 3-4 concurrent projects valued between $1M and $5M.

Company is an established general contractor with a strong reputation in the financial, corporate interiors, and retail construction sectors. The company maintains long-standing relationships with major financial clients, delivering high-quality renovation, fit-out, and branch construction projects.

Description

• Project Management: Lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of multiple commercial construction projects ranging from $1M to $5M.
• Schedule Management: Manage 3-4 concurrent projects while maintaining schedule, budget, quality, and client expectations.
• Estimating: Prepare and manage project estimates, budgets, buyout activities, and cost tracking.
• Team Leadership: Coordinate and communicate with clients, subcontractors, architects, consultants, and internal stakeholders.
• Documentation: Manage project documentation, RFIs, submittals, change orders, and project reporting.
• Safety Compliance: Ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with contract requirements.

Profile

• Proven experience as a Project Manager within commercial construction, corporate interiors, retail construction, or financial institution projects.
• Demonstrated success managing multiple projects simultaneously valued between $1M and $5M.
• Ability to independently create and manage project schedules and estimate project costs.
• Strong understanding of construction operations, budgeting, project controls, and subcontractor management.

• Experience with Procore is highly preferred.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work full-time from the Scotch Plains office with occasional site visits.

Job Offer

• Competitive base salary: up to 135K (commensurate with experience)

• 401(k) plan with company match.
